THE STBAINS OF CYCLAMEN. 



It is generally acknowledged that a 

 stock of any seed will deteriorate un- 

 less it is kept up to concert pitch by 

 selection. It is not suflScient to merely 

 rogue down or weed out throw-backs. 

 Such a stock might suit for general 

 purposes, but seed from this and the 

 following generations would not be im- 

 proved by such simple methods. Only 

 by marking down special plants and 

 seeding them for stock purposes can a 

 strain be improved, or even kept up to 

 the top notch. 



The importance of this fact was ex- 

 emplified when I was examining two 

 or three strains of cyclamen recently. 

 The extraordinary difference between 

 the Giant Whites, Qiant Crimsons, etc., 

 from different growers was marked, not 

 only as regards size, but color also. 

 What one grower would term crimson 

 was a dirty magenta alongside another. 

 One stock of salmon scarlet was merely 

 salmon compared with that remarkably 

 brilliant novelty named Mrs. L. M. 

 Graves. 



The St. George's Nursery Co. exhib- 

 ited three remarkably fine baskets at 

 the last show of the Koyal Horticul- 

 tural Society (London) and, although 

 occupying but a small amount of space, 

 they simply compelled attention. At a 

 short distance Mrs. L. M. Graves looked 

 quite vermilion, while that remarkable 

 variety, St. George, amazed everyone 

 by its immense and beautiful varie- 

 gated foliage. For several years I have 

 had the pleasure of seeing this variety, 

 and I must confess that the present- 

 day strain is more beautiful than ever. 

 There is every likelihood of further de- 

 velopments in this variegated section, 

 for the St. George's concern has two 

 or three others under way, including 

 a fine crimson. 



The third basket contained a new 

 variety, named Queen Mary, a giant- 

 flowered Salmon Queen. No one re- 

 quires telling that the modern gigan- 

 teum cyclamens are vastly different 

 from the ordinary persicum types, and 

 it is only when one sees the monstrous 

 flowers of the St. George's strains that 

 one realizes what developments have 

 been made. — H. T. J. 



Salem, O. — Fred P. Meyerhofer, the 

 lessee of the Garfield Avenue Green- 

 houses, has opened a retail store on 

 McKinley avenue. 



Milwaukee, Wis. — Currie Bros. Co. 

 completed its fortieth year in business 

 April 1. No formal celebration of the 

 anniversary was held, although it 

 marks the consolidation of the con- 

 cern's seed business, formerly at 312 

 Broadway, and its flower store, for- 

 merly at 108 Wisconsin street, at the 

 new quarters at 384 East Water street
