the difficulties others have encountered 

 in growing winter tomatoes. Lack of 

 sunshine makes the fruit set poorly and 

 ripen indifferently. So far as reported, 

 no one has been successful in growing 

 tomatoes who tried to produce fruit be- 

 fore March. S. W. W. 



PERENNIALS FOR OUT FLOWERS. 



Please inform me whether the follow- 

 ing perennials are profitable as commer- 

 cial cut flowers; that is, state whether 

 they can be sold on the wholesale mar- 

 ket: Siberian Iris Snow Queen, Hem- 

 erocallis Thunbergii, Physostegia Vir- 

 ginica and P. Alba, Helianthus Maxi- 

 milianii, Eupatorium coelestinum, He- 

 lenium rubrum, any of the varieties of 

 Anemone Japonica, and Lupinus Moer- 

 heimii. Please suggest different varie- 

 ties of the foregoing if there are bet- 

 ter ones. E. M. C. — Mich. 



Iris orientalis Snow Queen is a free- 

 flowering variety with long stems and 

 is splendid for cutting. While it will 

 grow in almost any soil, it is specially 

 vigorous when planted near water. 

 Hemerocallis Thunbergii is a fine peren- 

 nial. I have noted it displayed con- 

 siderably in retailers' windows. H. 

 flava, an early bloomer, is particularly 

 useful at Memorial day. Helianthus 

 Maximilianii would not, in my estima- 

 tion, be so good a commercial hardy 

 sunflower as H. mollis rigidus Miss Mel- 

 lish, or even orgyalis, although it keeps 

 well when cut, and ships well. Helenium

rubrum and varieties of similar color 

 are used a good deal by retailers in sum- 

 mer, but not so much as the yellow H. 

 autumnale superbum. Eupatorium coe- 

 lestinum is little seen, but should 

 prove a fine commercial flower. The 

 white E. ageratoides and E. Fraseri are 

 seen to some extent in September, and 

 are good keepers and shippers. 



Lupinus Moerheimii, which is a pink 

 form of L. polyphyllus, is a good flow- 

 er for cutting, as are the white and 

 blue forms of L. polyphyllus. Anemone 

 Japonica is seldom seen commercially, 

 though it is one of our most beautiful 

 fall-flowering perennials. It needs a 

 year to become well established, must 

 not be planted on ground where there 

 is not perfect drainage and requires a 

 good coating of leaves or straw when

the ground freezes. The single A. Ja- 

 ponica alba is the finest white form to 

 grow, and A. Japonica Queen Char- 

 lotte the finest of the colored forms. 

 I think there should be an excellent 

 call for these anemones. The trouble 

 so far has been that hardly any com- 

 mercial florists have .grown them. 

 Physostegia Virginiea is a good flower 

 for the wholesale trade and has had a 

 place for some years. One grower in 

 my recollection christened it "the 

 Texas heath" and made a good hit 

 with it. P. Virginiea alba is not nearly 

 so desirable a variety. C. W.
