The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Januabx 26. 1905. 



VARIOUS PLANTS. 



Will you kindly tell me the best vari- 

 ety of spirsea to grow in order to ob- 

 tain good results, also the best variety 

 of maidenhair fern? I grow the Adian- 

 tum Croweanum. Is it best to grow re<l 

 plumbago in pots? I grow it in solid 

 beds. Also kindly tell when to cut it 

 back and have it in bloom for the holi- 

 days. By answering these questions you 

 Avill greatly oblige M. J. G. 



The best varieties of spiraea for gen- 

 eral forcing purposes are Astilbe Japon- 

 ica floribunda and A. compacta. For 

 extra fine specimens in pots the variety 

 Gladstone is unsurpassed. 



Adiantum cuneatum is still one of 

 the best for general purposes. A. Crow- 

 eanum is stronger in growth and can be 

 grown with success under the same con- 

 dition as A. cuneatum. 



Plumbagos should be pruned hard back 

 as soon as the blooming season is past 

 and should then have a partial rest for 

 at least two months. P. rosea, being a 

 winter bloomer, can be rested after Eas- 

 ter and in order to have a full crop at 

 holiday time they should be started not 

 later than August. R. 



VARIATION IN SMILAX. 



I enclose a spray of smilax that is 

 different from any we have seen and 

 ■would like to know if it is a new va- 

 riety or sport, also its conmiercial value! 



C M. M. 



The specimen in question was quite 

 dry and shriveled when received, but 

 appears to be another instance of seed- 

 ling variation in this plant. It is simply 

 a narrow-leaved form of the ordinary 

 smilax and either the same form or one 

 very much like it has been seen several 

 times before. Its commercial value is 

 doubtful from the fact that it would 

 probably make too light a string to 

 suit the average florist.

Dreer's Superb Double Petunias 



For nearly half a century we have been makingr a specialty of SOUBlbB PBTWZA8 and our 

 strain is accepted as second to none, either here or in Europe. We annually plant many thousand 

 seedlings from which only the finest double fringed forms are selected for propagating purposes, thus 

 improving the strain every season, and this year's collection is the brightest and most pleasing one 

 we have yet sent out. We offer 15 distinct varieties.
