The Florists' Review 



July 24, 1913. 



this week. He was well known in the 

 local trade, having been in business at 

 Hillsdale for many years. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 t'lub was held July 14. F. A. Van 

 Kirk, on taking the chair, delivered a 

 speech of acceptance which will long be 

 remembered by those present. Commit- 

 tees were appointed to look after dif- 

 ferent matters of interest, to investi- 

 gate the advisability of holding a flower 

 show this fall and to consider the organ- 

 ization of a dahlia society. 



Fred Jensen, of Kelso, Wash., was a 

 week-end caller, E. E. C.

The Market. 



Business has been stimulated a little 

 this week owing to the carnival times 

 of the Potlatch. Several florists have 

 good orders for decorating automobiles 

 and floats for the various parades. Good 

 roses are scarce and there has been a 

 «onsiderable demand for carnations. 

 The shipping business continues good. 



Various Notes. 



July 1,3 a number of well intentioned 

 florists devoted the day to helping C. 

 Hoffmeister repair the damaged green- 

 houses of the Washington Floral Co. 

 The serious damage done by the wind 

 on the preceding Sunday was fairly well 

 obliterated by nightfall. Mrs. Hoff- 

 meister kindly entertained the visitors 

 at a splendid repast and, with his two 

 charming daughters to wait on them, 

 the putty artists were more than repaid 

 for their labor. Mr. Hoffmeister is one 

 of our oldest florists and has the respect 

 and esteem of all in the trade. T. W. 



SOW Buas. 



Can you tell me how to get rid of 

 sow bugs in the greenhouse, the bugs 

 that curl up in a ball when disturbed! 



C. A. S. 



Keep the greenhouse as free as pos- 

 sible from decaying wood or vegetable 

 matter, as that is what most attracts 

 the sow bugs, although they seem also 

 to have a liking for Rex begonias, ferns 

 and for carnations at the time of re- 

 establishment. There are two or three 

 ways of getting rid of the bugs already 

 in the benches. The best is to prepare 

 a mixture of granulated sugar and Paris 

 green, with enough of the latter to give 

 it a lively green color, and to drop 

 pinches here and there along the edge- 

 boards. Fresh bran and powdered sugar 

 mixed with Paris green or white arsenic 

 may be dropped here and there in the 

 same manner or left in saucers in the 

 benches. The next day the dead bugs 

 may be swept out. 



Boiling water kills the bugs and may 

 be sprinkled with a watering pot with 

 a coarse rose in places where it will not 

 affect the plants. Turnips and potatoes 

 scooped out and laid on the benches will 

 attract the bugs. When you find a 

 number gathered on the vegetable, drop 

 it in a can of boiling or nearly boiling 

 water.

I have not seen any coleus of a hang-

 plant, it should. prove a desirable nov-

 not mistaking some other plant for a
