The Flwists' Review 



February 18, -lOlS, 



ssr 



ing still mXCte popular. Paper Whites 

 have shortened up considerably. Valley 

 is quite plentiful, but does not sell as 

 fast as it should. Easter ' and calla 

 lilies are in good denaabd. Violets sold 

 well for the holiday and larger ship- 

 ments were made. Acacia is selling 

 quite freely. 



Various Notes. 



Harry E. Bates and Colin B. Ogston 

 were delegates to the New York State 

 rederation of Floral Clubs, which were 

 in convention at Ithaca, February 10. 



Morris Cohen, of Wertheimer Bros,, 

 New York, was in town this week, 



Charles H. Vick, president of the 

 Rochester Florists' Association, has 

 been on an extended business trip, 

 visiting Philadelphia, Boston and New 

 York city. 



Horace J, Head has had a bad attack 

 of rheumatism, which prevented him 

 from working last week. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Lady Florists' Association was h «j d -i 

 February 9 at the Elm bowling h'stST 

 The usual business was transacted, after 

 which the ladies bowled. Later, Mrs. 

 Charles Suhr was presented with a 

 handsome cut glass vase and Mrs. E. R. 

 Fry, treasurer, and Mrs. E. P. Wilson, 

 secretary, were each given a 2-pound 

 box of chocolates in appreciation of 

 their services for 1914. There was a 

 good crowd and refreshments were pro- 

 vided. It was decided to hold a bowl- 

 ing party, to which the gentlemen will 

 be invited, February 22, at the Elm 

 hall. 



The monthly meeting of the Roches- 

 ter Florists' Association was held at 

 headquarters, 95 East Main street, Mon- 

 day, February 8. Plans for a flower 

 show to be held at Exposition park 

 next fall were discussed. The manage- 

 ment of the industrial exposition sug- 

 gested the idea and the florists have en- 

 tered enthusiastically into the plan. A 

 committee composed of George B, Hart, 

 chairman; T. J. Keller, A, H. Salter, 

 H. E. Bates and Charles H. Vick will 

 work with the industrial exposition com- 

 mittee. 



A movement is now on foot to bring 

 the annual meeting of the American 

 Rose Society to this city in the spring 

 of 1917. H. J. H. 



TOO COOL FOE SPRENOEEL 



Kindly tell us what is the matter 

 with our Sprengeri. It seems to grow 

 well enough, but will not turn green. 

 It throws long shoots and lots of them, 

 but they all stay brown and yellow and 

 do not show true life. We keep it in 

 a house with a temperature of 48 to 

 52 degrees. We feed it about once a 

 week with liquid cow manure and it is 

 planted in fairly rich ground, consist- 

 ing of rotted sod mixed with horse 

 manure. If you can give us the de- 

 sired information, you will greatly 

 oblige. H. J. V. & S. 



The trouble with the Asparagus 

 Sprengeri is caused by- too low a tem- 

 perature. This plant requires a night 

 temperature of 58 to 60 degrees to keep 

 it in good color and even a little more 

 heat than that will do no harm. Spren- 

 geri will exist in a low temperature, 

 but will not make a paying growth un- 

 der such conditions. Liquid cow 

 manure is a first-rate fertilizer for this 

 plant, or for any of the asparagus fam- 

 ily, but without the proper temperature 

 it wiJl not give results. W. H. T.
