 backbone of the business." 



Manager Day, of the Ebeling Seed 

 Store, Syracuse, N. Y., recalls many 

 seasons similar to this in his long ex- 

 perience and predicts a satisfactory 

 wind-up. 



M. Cushman & Co., Rochester, N. Y., 

 were forced to vacate their store, as a 

 banking concern has purchased the 

 building in which they were located. 

 Their new address will be Mill street 

 until they are fortunate enough to se- 

 cure a more favorable place. 



The Maurer-Haap Co., Rochester, N. 

 Y., reports its seed trade far ahead of 

 that for any previous season and at- 

 tributes the increase to publicity. As 

 the company is located in a basement 

 with only small window display ad- 

 vantage, the increased patronage shows 

 th-e possibilities of the business when 

 handled intelligently. W. M. 



LILIES AT ARLINGTON. 



Florists may become independent of 

 imported lily bulbs for forcing for the 

 Easter trade, in the opinion of special- 

 ists of the bureau of plant industry of 

 the Department of Agriculture. 



When it first became known that ex- 

 periments in growing Easter lilies from 

 seed were being carried on by the De- 

 partment of Agriculture, few florists 

 were prepared to believe that the un- 

 dertaking po.ssessed any commercial 

 value beyond the possil)ilities of pro- 

 ducing new hybrids. The results of 

 these experiments, which have now 

 been carried on for four years, indicate, 

 the department specialist.s believe, tliut 

 this country can develop an important 

 industry. 



On tlie Arlington experimental farm, 

 whicli is just across the Potomac river 

 from Washington, deiiartment special- 

 ists produce the lily seeds in green- 

 houses by artificial pollination. These 

 seeds are jdanted about January 1, 

 pricked out into small pots, and in May 

 the youli^ plants are set in the open 

 ground. They develop rapidly, and ))y 

 July or August some of the plants 

 reach sufficient size to l)ear blooms. In 

 October or November the plants arc 

 lifted, potted and removed to the green- 

 house. Without undue forcing the 

 plants will come into full bloom the 

 following February , to April— fifteen 

 months after the seed had l^een planted. 

 Those plants which bloom in July or 

 August and from which the bloom stalk 

 has been cut may send out two or three
