one-fifth cedar oil, well stirred together. 

 Four Seollay putty bulbs were then 

 brought out to use instead of the guns. 

 These bulbs had their points filed to 

 increase the flow of liquid. They were 

 then filled with the gum that had been 

 thinned with cedar oil and were ready 

 for use. Mr. Mills said that an eco- 

 nomical distribution of the force con- 

 sisted in having one fellow to fill the 

 bulbs from the hole in the bottom of 

 the bucket and two fellows to distribute 

 the liquid down the sashbars on the 

 roof. He said this force of three did 

 one and one-half houses, 20x100 feet, in 

 one day, a remarkable rate of speed. 

 Mr. Mills added that the ground man 

 could fill, wipe off and toss up a bulb 

 of thinned gum to each of the two roof 

 men while each was emptying his other 

 bulb. Mr. Mills said that the men wore 

 canvas gloves while doing the work. 

 These gloves are worth about 12 cents 

 a pair and save the workmen 's hands.

The meeting had a large attendance. 

 It was decided to observe the week 

 October 12 to 18 as "Say It with Flow- 

 ers" week in Philadelphia. Plans were 

 decided upon and the hearty support of 

 all is asked in order to make that cele- 

 bration an effective educational adver- 

 tisement. 



C annas. 



There is a beautiful field of cannas 

 lying between the Riverview range of 

 greenhouses of Henry A. Dreer Co., 

 Inc., and the Pennsylvania railroad 

 tracks just east of Eiverton station. 

 The field covers the entire front of the 

 Dreer place, making a glorious color 

 picture. The scarlet and yellow, white 

 and pink are planted in rows stretch- 

 ing the entire ^vidth of the great field, 

 so that there is harmony even amidst 

 such bewildering variety. 



The collection represents the best 

 known sorts today, standard and novel, 



foreign and domestic. Many among 

 them are seedlings of the place, River- 

 view introductions. The system of se- 

 lection is thorough. Each variety of 

 merit in any given color is carefully 

 tested within range of vision of the 

 other leading varieties of the same 

 color and careful comparison is made. 

 Form, habit, vigor, freedom of bloom, 

 size, color, durability of flower, foliage, 

 height, roots — every point is weighed. 

 About seventy varieties are given 

 space. Each season some are added and 

 some are discarded. 



Eugene H. Michel has ten cannas in 

 charge. His seedlings have made a hit. 

 Many of them are recognized leaders in 

 three shades of color. It is in white 

 that Mr. Michel has scored his greatest 

 triumph, because white is such a terri- 

 bly difficult color to secure and to hold. 

 Either it is not a pure white or it has 

 no stamina or it peters out. "Peters" 

 is expressive, but inelegant; "loses 

 vitality" sounds better. ^ In Eureka 

 Mr. Michel has given us a fine white.
