method is to start the little Manetti 

 plants in soil until they have made 

 fine, white rootlets. Then the Manetti 

 are cut off rather low and the scion is 

 securely grafted over the cut. Then 

 the young grafted plant is placed in 

 the propagating bed, instead of in a 

 case, the graft being placed below the 

 level of the sand. The object is to 

 secure two sets of roots, one from the 

 stock, the other from the scion. This 

 process usually takes thirty days, after 

 which the plants are potted 'up and 

 should grow rapidly. The aim is to 

 secure big plants that will grow freely 

 and strongly during the short Canadian 

 summer. 



A Cut Flower House. 



Every Philadelphian knows that 

 there is one grower who has a large 

 cut flower house all to himself. It is 

 fully equipped with every modern con- 

 venience and does business in a thor- 

 oughly modern way. To find it you 

 walk south on Mole street to the end 

 and then straight into 1526 Ranstead 

 street. There the Joseph Heacock Co. 

 has its city headquarters. There the 

 manager, Carl A. Corts, distributes the 



output of Roelofs and of Wyncote. 

 Mr. Corts is thoroughly businesslike 

 and always cheerful. When business is 

 good he tells you so; when it is bad 

 he discusses the weather or any other 

 topic that presents a cheerful outlook. 

 The place is always interesting, for 

 there you see good stock, you see it well 

 handled, and you get quickly in touch 

 with the great wholesale and retail 

 houses that surround it. 



Various Note^. 



H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayersdor- 

 fer will sail on the steamer Manchuria 

 from San Francisco for Japan May 15. 

 What do you think of that? 



Recent visitors include Frank Hough- 

 ton, of the Houghton-Gorney Co., and 

 William J. Stuart, of Boston; Frank 

 Graves and W, E. Gibson, of the Zie- 

 ger Co., Pittsburgh; Theodore Edwards, 

 Bridgeton, N. J., and William Swayne, 

 of Kennett, Pa. 



George Burton, president of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, was taken to the Chestnut 

 Hill hospital late on the evening of 

 April 21, where an operation for ap- 

 pendicitis was performed. At last ac- 

 counts Mr. Burton was doing well. His 



friends, who are legion, earnestly hope 

 for a speedy and complete recovery. 



L. P. Rankin, of Lansdowne, Pa., has 

 leased the greenhouses of W. W. Fos- 

 ter, at Riverside, near Westerly, R. I. 

 Mr. Rankin is foreman for William A. 

 Leonard. He will assume charge of his 

 new place May 1 or May 15. 



ftaymond Brunswick, secretary and 

 treasurer of the M. Rice Co., has un- 

 fortunately fractured his arm, which 

 is now in a plaster cast. .Mr. Bruns- 

 wick was not aware when the acci- 

 dent happened, but believes it must 

 have been caused by strenuous horse- 

 back scout wrestling; the game is to 

 throw the other fellow off his horse. 

 Mr. Brunswick is plucky and simply 

 mentioned the matter incidentally. 



Myers & Samtman are installing a 

 thoroughly modern cold storage plant 

 with automatic stop at their place at 

 Wyndmoor, Pa. Even in an off year 

 they progress. 



The accounts of George S. Hampton 

 and Jack Neidinger pQket to a heavy 

 increase in the Memorial day demand 

 for grasses, magnolia wreaths and pre- 

 pared flowers at Joseph G. Neidinger 's.
