Something New 



Now that the season for Wild Smilax is over and no 



more stock can be supplied, I wish to call 



your attention to the 



Branches of theflnckleberry Tree 



as a most elegant Decorative Green. It is largely 

 used by the Florists of the Pacific G)ast, Washing- 

 ton and Oregon in decorations. The branches are 

 FLAT, very thickly furnished with exceedingly 

 lustrous, green leaves and it seems to adapt itself to 

 almost any position in decoration that the Wild 

 Smilax can be used in. 



As the introducer of Southern Wild Smilax, I 

 think you can give me credit for knowing a good 

 thing when I see it, and I am convinced that in 

 Huckleberry Branches you will have a very beauti- 

 ful substitute for the Wild Smilax, of great value to you through the months of May and 

 June. I am anxious to get the verdict of the Floral Trade on this introduction and offer 

 to send you a Case on Suspicion, price $2.50 per case if it suits you, nothing if it does not. 

 Will you try a case on these terms ? Yours very truly,

Carnations WHOLESALE 



A Specialty 6R0WER Of 



attendance of over 300 has been pro- 

 vided for. Glenwoou is far ahead of any 

 rendezvous the club has heretofore 

 chosen for its annual outing. 



Tuesday was Mr. and Mrs. Ghormley 's 

 forty-fifth wedding aniversary and Mr. 

 Ghormley 's emploj^es took the oppor- 

 tunity to present a loving cup. 



M. Lecakes is expected home from 

 Greece next week. 



No such spring has ever been known 

 around New York. Plantings on the 

 large estates have been enormous and 

 yet the nursery business in this country 

 is only in its infancy. 



Ealph M. "Ward & Co. are now set- 



tled in their new and convenient quar- 

 ters on West Broadway, close to the 

 wholesale seed and bulb section. Thay 

 have added to their foreign connections 

 the nursery firm of Jacs Smits, of Naar- 

 den, Holland. 



Harry Bunyard, representing A. T. 

 Boddington, is back from a successful 

 western trip. J. Austin Shaw. 



Havre, Mont. — The Havre Floral Co. 

 has been organized and is about to erect 

 two greenhouses, one for carnations and 

 one for general stock. The grower is 

 John Linn, who was formerly with M. 



Kranz, at the Montana Floral Exchange ^ 

 at Great Falls. He is thoroughly expe- 

 rienced in business and should mak« a 

 success of the new company, as the town 

 is a prosperous one. Mr. Linn is at 

 present very busy in preparations for 

 his building operations. 



PIPING FOR HOT WATER. 



I have two houses, one 20x100 and 

 eleven feet to ridge, the other 11x100 and 

 eight feet to ridge. These are heated hj 

 steam and piped with 1-inch pipe. I 

 want to change to hot water heat. Can 

 I use the 1-inch pipe for the narrow 

 house and buy 2-inch pipe for the larger 

 one or must I buy 2-inch pipe for 

 both? /W. H. K. 



Your 1-inch pipe is too small to be 

 economical for hot water. For this pur- 

 pose, particularly in a small place, where 

 a night fireman is not employed, larger 

 pipe is better, for several reasons. In ai 

 small pipe the water cools faster and the 

 friction causes slower circulation. While 

 it is possible to use your 1-inch pipe, you 

 will probably be repaid in the greater 

 efficiency of your plant for buying larger 

 pipe. A size commonly used is 1%-inch, 

 although many places use 4-inch. But 

 the larger the pipe the greater the cost 

 of installation unless good second-hand 

 pipe is to be picked up. 



I GET much pleasure and profit out of 

 the Review every week. — Fred Hatch^
