GERANIUM TIFFIN. 



About eight years ago we found a 

 number of seedling geraniums under a 

 bench on which a new set of imported 

 geraniums had grown, bloomed and seed 

 ripened, which fell to the ground and 

 grow. One of these seedlings made an 

 unusually clean, healthy growth, branch- 

 ing very freely, of a medium dwarf 

 habit, and at once commenced blooming, 

 producing large trusses of blossoms, of 

 a brilliant, dazzling scarlet. We have 

 grown it every year since and it has 

 proven itself to be an excellent geranium 

 in all respects, good bedder, splendid pot 

 plant both in and out of the house and 



always in bloom. In the field where our 

 various stock plants are bedded out it is 

 an easy matter to pick out the rows of 

 this seedling, which we have named 

 Tiffin. It has clean foliage, no zone, and 

 the flowers are very mumerous, borne 

 well above the foliage on stiff stems. 

 We have in the past few years sold the 

 plants to our home customers as Ull- 

 rich's Seedling and all who have had it 

 once want it again, owing to its bloom- 

 ing quality, in preference to any other 

 variety we grow. 



One of the accompanying pictures 

 shows one of the plants, another shows 

 a bench of plants in 3-inch pots and 

 the other is a picture of the front view 

 of my residence and lawn decorated with 

 large pots of Tiffin, showing its great 

 blooming qualities as an outdoor pot 

 plant.

CANADIANS MEET. 



The eighth annual convention of the 

 Canadian Horticultural Association is 

 on this week at Montreal. The attend- 

 ance is the largest in the history of the 

 association and the trade exhibit does 

 much to add to the interest. 



The opening session was called to 

 order at 2 p. m. on Tuesday, August 8, 

 Mayor Laporte, the city's chief execu- 

 tive, being present to extend a welcome 

 to the society. The response was by 

 Wm. Gammage, of London, who thanked 

 his worship for his kind words and the 

 extended invitation to drive and lun- 

 cheon on Thursday morning. 



President George Bobinson, of Outre- 

 mont, then assumed the chair and read 

 his annual address, which appears in full 

 in this issue. It provoked a lively discus- 

 sion, particularly on the tariff question. 

 While there was difference of opinion, 

 there was agreement that the tariff 

 should be remodeled from a florist's view- 

 point. It was so recommended to the 

 tariff commission. The matter of a trade 

 paper was left to a committee to discuss 

 with the editor of the Canadian horti- 

 cultural magazine. 



The reports of secretary, treasurer 

 and committees showed the society to be 

 in a very prosperous condition. The 

 judges of the trade exhibits recommend- 

 ed that certificates be awarded D. J. Sin- 

 clair, Toronto, for florists' supplies, and 

 to Campbell Bros., Simcoe, for new va- 

 rieties of gladioli. Diplomas were recom- 

 mended for Hall & Bobinson and Dupuy 

 & Ferguson. 



On Tuesday evening there was a session 

 devoted to essays by Frederick G. Todd, 

 Thos. McHugh and B. Burrows. These 

 were very interesting and freely dis- 

 cussed. 



COLD STORAGE LILIES. 



I would like to know if cold-storage 

 longiflorums planted the first week in 

 August will be in flower for Christmas. 

 Our house runs about 55 degrees in zero 

 weather. J. 0. 



Your lilies will be in before Christmas 

 if you planted them the first week in 

 August. For Christmas it is usually 

 counted that ten to twelve weeks should 

 be allowed from cold storage to flower. 

 Planted ten weeks before Thanksgiving 

 you are likely to have to hold them back 

 if you want them for that date and we 

 have very much bright, warm weather.
