SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. 



Department of Registration. 



Hichard F. Gloede, Evanston, 111., sub- 

 mits for registration seedling geranium 

 Mrs. Bichard F. Gloede; flower semi- 

 double, very large ; color rose pink ; foli- 

 age dark green, zoned; growth exceed- 

 ingly strong; tested three years. 



Edward Amerpohl, of Janesville, 

 Wis., submits for registration Nephro- 

 lepsis Amerpohlii, sport of Nephrolepsis 

 Piersoni; has the compactness of N. 

 Piersoni elegantissima and resembles it 

 closely except that the pinnules are 

 again cut and sub-divided until the 

 frond has the appearance of a piece of 

 lace work. Wm. J. Stewart. Sec'y. 



COLD STORAGE LILIES. 



Can you tell me how much time to al- 

 low for the forcing of cold storage longi- 

 florum lilies? They are now in storage 

 and we would like to have them in bloom 

 for Thanksgiving. F. W. 



As Thanksgiving does not arrive until 

 November 25, we are liable to have sev- 

 eral weeks of cool weather before that 

 and perhaps a few days of sharp weather. 

 I would advise you to allow ten weeks 

 from cold storage. If you should be a 

 week too early there would be no harm 

 done, as it would be easy to hold them 

 at that time of the year. If you are 

 keeping them in your own cold storage 

 or in your town see that they are not 

 kept in too low a temperature. If pos- 

 sible to keep them at 30 degrees that 

 would be ideal, but do not vary much 

 from 3 to 4 degrees below the freezing 

 point. Ten degrees below the freezing 

 point for any length of time would much 

 impair their vitality. W. S.
