The Florists' Review 



Dbcbmbkb 22, 1921 



"IToro is tho niiin to grow your rosos. " 

 Mr. Poehlmanu referred to Stephen Mor- 

 tensen, of Southampton, who chanced 

 to be standing near. It is an old axiom 

 that many a true word is said in jest, 

 and so it proved in this case. Mr. Mor- 

 tensen bought 4,000 American Legion, 

 planted them in two of his oldest houses, 

 the pioneers of his place at Southamp- 

 ton, and today he has an exceptionally 

 fine lot of American Legion growing 

 there. It may be that they are the 

 finest lot of American Legion seen in 

 these parts so far; most likely they are; 

 at all events, they are producing freely 

 high-grade stock and the canes are 

 breaking nicely from the cuts. As seen 

 at Mr. Mortensen's place at Southamp- 

 ton, American Legion has a place in the 

 cut flower market, the place formerly 

 held by medium-grade American Beau- 

 ties, of which there are never enough. 

 American Legion is not so large as 

 American Beauty and resembles it only 

 in part, but when well grown, Ameri- 

 can Legion is a fine rose that has won 

 praise from flower lovers and from 

 critics. 



Various Notes. 



The Germantown Horticultural So- 

 ciety has elected the following oflScers 

 for 1922: President, Edward C. Jellett; 

 vice-presidents, Mrs. H. S. Prentiss- 

 Nichols, Dr. T. Pearson Willetts, and 

 Alexander Mcllwee; secretary, George 

 Redles; treasurer, Caspar Wistar Haines. 



Theodore Thompson, of Kennett, Pa., 



and Edward H. White, of Hammonton, 

 N. J., were here December 17. 



Joseph Goetter, of Lansdowne, has 

 Laddie, Ward and Matchless carnations 

 in fine shape. Mr. Goetter 's fine vase of 

 Richmond chrysanthemums, exhibited 

 before the Florists' Club last month, was 

 accidentally omitted. 



While in this city E. G. Hill called 

 on George E. Campbell, at Flourtown, 

 and admired his fine 15-year-old Rich- 

 mond, that are just right for Christmas. 



James W. Heacock, Robert Jamieson 

 and William Lausterer have been over 

 nearby pastures. 



The plant men believe that the higher 

 express rate has reduced the out-of-town 

 demand. 



Charles Henry Fox has complimented 

 the Joseph G. Neidinger Co. on its ar- 

 tistic thistle wreaths. 



Choice dahlia-flowered zinnias are now 

 seen at the Philadelphia Wholesale 

 Florists' Exchange. 



Martin Reukauf is greatly mourned 

 by many friends. Further notice of his 

 death is on the obituary page of this 

 issue. 



Merry Christmas. Phil. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



Early Christmas sales, though not so 

 large as they have been in some years, 

 have, nevertheless, been satisfactory, 

 considering general business conditions. 

 Supplies of Christmas plants are in 

 stock and large numbers of them have 

 been sold for Christmas day delivery. 



Cut flowers will be delivered Fridny 

 and Saturday preceding Christmas. The 

 quality of plants and flowers is goud 

 and prices are reasonable, although thoy 

 are higher than they have been for the 

 last few weeks. Poinsettias are higli. 

 Carnations are selling for $2 per doziti. 

 James J. Plunkett, Bradford place, re- 

 ports early Christmas trade as good, lie 

 reports an unusually large number of 

 weddings for this time of the year.

FLANTINa CABBAGE. 



Will you kindly advise me whether or 

 not it will be safe to plant Copenhagen 

 Market cabbage seed as early as Janu- 

 ary 15? Growers in this locality have 

 had trouble in the past with early-sown 

 Copenhagen plants going to seed in the 

 field. We should like to transplant twice, 

 and we are advised against this pro- 

 cedure. We are anxious to plant <as 

 early as possible, in order that these 

 plants may be out of the way of tho 

 tomato plants. C. R. R. — Mich. 



I consider January 15 too early to 

 start Copenhagen Market cabbage, as 

 you are tolerably sure to have a good 

 many plants bolt from such early sow- 

 ing. I consider February 15 as early as 

 it is advisable to sow this cabbage. The 

 plants can be transplanted twice and 

 will be of ample size in two months' 

 time and I suppose April 15 is as early 

 as you can plant out with safety in your 

 latitude. C. W.
