The Florists^ Review 



MAHca 30, 1922 



a large brick stack. Some fine stock 

 is seen here. A heavy cut of roses is 

 now coming in. Their bedding stock is 

 coming on nicely. F. J. Knecht and 

 Henry Freese planned to spend some 

 time at Indianapolis at the flower show. 



The semiannual style show took 

 place last week. A number of the busi- 

 ness houses used natural flowers and 

 plants in their decorations. 



Charles F. Larson, of Johnson & John- 

 son, Chicago, was a trade visitor last 

 week. S. N. 



STEAM SOIL FOR EELWORMS. 



We are having trouble with eel- 

 worms in our rose benches. Can you 

 give me some information on how to 



check them? 



G. M. W.— la. 



The only realiy sure remedy for 

 nematodes, or eelworms, is sterilization 

 of the soil by steam. Steam steriliza- 

 tion is valuable as a means of destroy- 

 ing all weed seeds, as well as insect 

 pests in the soil. The effect of formal- 

 dehyde is not thorough enough to rid 

 the soil of eelworms. 



FERTILIZER FOR LILIES. 



Kindly advise what kind of fertilizer 

 you would recommend for use on a lily 

 bed which has been planted for two or 

 three years. How is the fertilizer ap- 

 plied? A. L. M. — Minn. 



A little well decayed cow or horse 

 manure can be spread on the surface 

 and allowed to remain as a mulch. Do 

 not mix it with the soil. If above 

 manures are not obtainable, use pul- 

 verized sheep manure. Do not use any 

 chemical fertilizers. C. W. 



Grand Rapids, Mich. — H. W. Allersma 

 is building a large show house. He will 

 remodel his flower shop and bring it 

 strictly up to date in the near future.
