to his greenhouses. Mr. Aschmann 

 gave us a hearty welcome and we found 

 his greenhouses in good condition. I 

 think it was that grand old florist, some- 

 times jocosely styled John Newjersey 

 May, who once said ho could always tell 

 whether a florist understood his business 

 by just poking his nose inside that 

 florist's greenhouse. Well, the houses 

 of the Aschmann ranges smelt deli- 

 ciously like growing atmosphere, so sug- 

 gestive of plant health and moisture. 



Mr. Aschmann likes me to tell just 

 what I saw. That is all right from a 

 standpoint of truth, but it suggests cat- 

 alogues. A column should not be a cata- 

 logue; they are two separate, distinct 

 things. So I am going to tell the things 

 that impressed me most, after the gen- 

 eral health of the plants in the house, 

 and that was the spacing. There was a 

 time when I was impressed hg^ the un- 

 usual number of plants in the place; 

 again, it was the absence of useless 

 sizes. This time it was the skill dis- 

 played in showing each variety. Nay, 

 each plant had just the amount of space 

 it required for proper development in 

 that size of pot, and no more. You in- 

 sist on one plant, at least, being men- 

 tioned f Very well then, after the ferns, 

 which are today the leading feature of 

 the place, I was most interested in Bego- 

 nia luminosa; firstly, because it is a

Begonia luminosa has always appealed 

 to me as a plant with possibilities. It 

 may never set a river afire, but it is a 

 good house plant, one that will mako 

 friends and keep them. You might not 

 select Begonia luminosa as a gift for a 

 girl you were wild about, but you would 

 be apt to take it home, or send it to 

 your aunt, or plant it in a window box 

 or fernery, where it would be likely to 

 do you credit for a long time afterwards.
