ond. The petal* of both are finely 

 waved, like those of the Crego type, 

 but they make a fuller, more massively 

 built flower. The purple, too, is excel- 

 lent and a large acreage is planted to 

 this. Crimson, lavender and light blue 

 are all of the best in their separate col- 

 ors, and the habit of the plants is all 

 that could be desired. There is also a 

 lovely flesh-pink, of which the stock 

 is not particularly large as yet, but it 

 is certainly a beauty. At the time of 

 ray visit, little in the way of roguing 

 had been done, but it was surprising 

 how few had come untrue to color or 

 type, and it takes the eye of an expert 

 like Mr. Bodger to distinguish the 

 sheep from the goats. 



American Branching Types. 



Though I have mentioned the Comet 

 varieties somewhat more fully, it must 

 not be thought that the American 

 Branching types are any less grown, 

 for there are many acres of the finest 

 in all the popular colors. Violet King 

 is excellent, being the true Elks' color, 

 and several of the older types, such as 

 Mary Semple and the Victorias, are still 

 grown here. The early HohenzoUern 

 kinds were past their best, but there 

 were enough flowers left to show their 

 beauty and a fine crop of seed was 

 maturing. The peony-flowered kinds, 

 too, were well to the front, and in what 

 Mr. Bodger calls his nursery a number 

 of choice things are being tried out. 



Cosmos and Other Flowers. 



The early flowering varieties of cos- 

 mos are rapidly taking the place of the 

 older, later kinds and they are grown 

 here in considerable variety. The 

 Mammoth zinnias, too, are worth a long 

 journey to see, the flowers being im- 

 mense in size, with the brightest and 

 clearest colors. This strain is unsur- 

 passed by any of the imported ones. 



Care in roguing, good soil and the 

 fine climate of the Pacific slope, all 

 contribute to the excellence of the seed 

 which is grown on the Bodger ranches, 

 and which is well known from coast 

 to coast. To save unnecessary corre- 

 spondence, it may be well to mention 

 the fact that no seed is retailed here. 

 All is grown by contract or for purely 

 wholesale trade^ H. R. R.

rOECING SPANISH IRIS. 



What is the best way to force Span- 

 ish iris? I have planted them in solid 

 beds in the greenhouse for two years, 

 but have had poor luck with them. I 

 planted new bulbs each year, but only 

 one-third of them bloomed. I keep 

 them in a temperature of about 48 to 

 ^0 degrees at night. Will they grow in 

 flats or coldframesf C. A. 



Spanish iris will not stand hard 

 forcing. It will hardly pay to grow 

 them in beds or benches, as they oc- 

 ♦'"Py them so long before flowering, 

 unless you really have beds which you 

 ^°"1<1 not otherwise require. They do 

 well in flats containing six inches of 

 ^^J'- It would be best to keep them in 

 cyldframes until November and then 

 place them in a cool house where they 

 would get abundant light. The tem- 

 perature would better not be over 45 

 degrees at night. This early lot will 

 nower about March 20. Later lots can 

 ■^e housed at intervals of eight or ten 

 '/ays. They will also grow well planted 

 'n coldframes. C. W.

Florists : 



What stock have you 



for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade about 

 it by using the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably report good 

 results. Like this: 



Say! That ad's a hvundintrer for aretting the 

 business.— Everett Floral Co.. iiverett. Wash. 



1 1 sold all the Mum cuttinirs advertised, and yoc 

 will nut hnar from me axaiu until I can get s me 

 moreslocli ready. Sh^ll rout lUO.OOO Carnation 

 cuttings tor next seaton, as I Itnow The Rev'ew 

 will sell them for me.— Frank Wilhelm, Los An- 

 geles, Ual. 



Please cat out of our advertisement in The Re- 

 view the cyclamen st-ed ings. We sold all our 

 surplus C) clamen seedlings as a direct result of 

 our adverli^ement in your paper.— Spokane 

 Oreenbouses (Inc. ), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last advertisement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem, 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Co.. 

 North Yakima, Wash. 



We are well pleased with the refnlts obtained 

 bv advertising in the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We so'd out c'ean and refused 

 many orders. The Review surely gives results.
