time that they sell well; during the 

 months of May and June there is a 

 great demand for them. If your local 

 wholesale market is good you could stock 

 up with azaleas and other Elaster plants. 

 TTiere is time enough for hybrid per- 

 petual roses in pots and after Easter 

 you should need the bench for geraniums 

 and other bedding plants. W. S. 



PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY. 



(Copyrlgiit 1904. by Florists' PubllshiDg- Co.) 



Frequent inquiry as to the correct pro- 

 nunciation of plant names has led us 

 to compile the following list of names, 

 selecting those in most common use in 

 the trade, and including botanical terms 

 most frequently met with in articles upon 

 plant culture. 



In our list we have used the folio win;

BUYS AN "OFF-PINK.'* 



A resident of Tarrytown-on-Hudaon has paid 

 120,000 for a pink. This la a species of "fren- 

 zied finance" of which probably even Mr. 

 I..aw8on would approve, as the flower in 

 question is an off-pink of the famous pink 

 for whirh the Boston financier paid |25,000.— 

 Xew York Tribune. 



The above was copied into a Buffalo 

 paper. I can think of only two gentle- 

 men likely to pay such a fancy price for 

 an "off-pink." They are Frank B. 

 Pierson and William Rockefeller. There 

 may be several others residing in that 

 charming locality on the eastern shore 

 of the Hudson, but I am not sufficiently 

 intimate with them to know of their 

 •propensity to invest so heavily. If 

 it is Mr. Rockefeller, then it's a com- 

 mendable distribution of superfluous 

 wealth. If it's Mr. Pierson, then we 

 would say he's not only "off" pink but 

 " off " generally. 



But we suspect this dream is about 

 fourteen times a greater exaggeration 

 than the price said to be paid by "fren- 

 zied finance" Lawson for the marvel- 

 ous production of Peter Fisher's skill, 

 which marked an epoch in carnation cul- 

 ture. W. S. 



COAL CONSUMED. 



We have 26,000 feet of glass and our 

 coal costs us $1.50 per ton on cars in 

 our city, in Pennsylvania. We can haul 

 four to five loads a day from the cars to 

 the greenhouses. Last season we burned 

 twenty-five pounds for each square foot 

 of glass. B. B. 



I have a greenhouse near Philadel- 

 phia, 24x70 feet, two-thirds heated for 

 roses and one-third for carnations. Last 

 winter I burned sixteen tons of stove 

 coal. The house contains about i,680 

 square feet of glass. This would bring 

 the coal consumed to about twenty 

 pounds per square foot of glass. C. L. 



HYACINTHS AND OTHERS. 



I potted the following bulb.s on De- 

 cember 6: Dutch hyacinths. Von Sioi> 

 narcissi, single tulips and Lilium Har- 

 risii. I wish to have them in bloom for 

 Easter. I have a house where I can 

 maintain a temperature of 60 degrees- 

 at night and 70 degrees in the daytime^ 

 with a little higher if needed, I have had
