flowery "jazzes" for the younger set 

 of St. Louis society. 



The question of more retail exhibits 

 is one of great importance. For this rea- 

 son F. C. Weber, Jr., chairman of the 

 retail exhibits, has been exceptionally 

 busy getting the retail florists interested 

 in making elaborate exhibits. He re- 

 ports that he has met with great success. 

 There will be more and better retail dis- 

 plays than usual. The retail florists are 

 enthusiastic, says Mr. Weber, and any 

 who fail to be interested to the close of 

 the show will regret their folly later on. 



L. P. Jensen, chairman of the private 

 gardens committee, has formulated a 

 plan that has interested all of the pri- 

 vate gardeners and will prove success- 

 ful in enhancing the attractiveness of 

 the show. 



W. C. Smith, who is chairman of the 

 exhibition and hall committee, through 

 his untiring efforts has lessened the 

 troubles of the executive committee a 

 great deal. His precision and knowl- 

 edge are a great aid to the committee. 



This exhibition will have many fea- 

 tures that will mark it as a unique 

 show. All florists and other interests 

 in close touch with St. Louis at times 

 should be well represented. 



We welcome all visitors.

 Publicity Chairman. 



COTTON SEED AS FERTILIZER? 



I am sending you some sweet peas 

 under separate cover and would like to 

 have you tell me what is the matter 

 with them. Half of the soil in which 

 they are growing is well rotted cotton 

 seed and sand, the other half being fair, 

 sandy loam. They have had plenty of 

 water and are full of buds. The buds 

 start to open and get about as far as 

 those I am sending, when they go to 

 seed without opening any farther. The 

 vines are about ten feet in height and 

 seem to be in good condition. I had 

 flowers from them for about ten days 

 and then they began seeding. 



L. G. P.— Tex. 



Not having tried decayed cotton seed 

 as a sweet pea fertilizer, I am unable 

 to speak as to its qualities, but I should 

 say that if you used as much of it as 

 you did soil there would be a decided 

 excess of fertilizer. This would cause a 

 strong growth of haulm at the expense 

 of flowers. The soil evidently is lack- 

 ing in some element when the flowers 

 fail to develop. Cotton seed can hardly 

 be considered as desirable a fertilizer

for sweet peas as such animal manures 

 as cow, sheep or horse, when well de- 

 cayed. Probably more specialists in in- 

 door sweet peas uso cow manure than 

 any other food for their plants. A 

 night temperature of 45 degrees before 

 the flowers open and 50 degrees while 

 in bloom, with a rise of 8 to 10 degrees 

 on cloudy days and 15 degrees on sunny 

 days, suits sweet peas in winter. Per- 

 haps growers who have used decayed 

 cotton seed for sweet peas or other 

 flowers can favor The Review with 

 their experiences. C. W.
