The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



OCTOBBB 26, 1005. 



SCX3ETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. 



DepartfllAit of Plant Re^tratl»n. 



Peter Henderson & Co., New York, 

 submit for registration Canna Vesuvius; 

 flowers deep red, arranged in branching 

 heads nine inches across; plant four to 

 five feet in height; foliage green. 



Medal for School Gardens. 



The bronze medal of the society which 

 was placed at the disposal of Miss Susan 

 B. Sipe for award at her discretion to 

 the public school children of Washing- 

 ton, D. C, has been won by the Dennison 

 school for superior work in gardening. 

 Miss Sipe, in reporting on this award, 

 states that a year ago the children at 

 this school had nothing but a gravel 

 yard. They now have a magnificent dis- 

 play of asters, zinnias, cannas, a fine 

 lawn and a vegetable garden that is fur- 

 nishing the nature study material for the 

 schools of the building. This has been 

 entirely the work of the children, every 

 grade taking its share. Most of the soil 

 has been brought in by toy express 

 wagons from vacant lots.

THE READERS' CORNER. 



Cyanide of Potassium. 



The suggestions given in the Review 

 from issue to issue, if heeded and sift- 

 ed, will cause the average florist to 

 wear diamonds some day. I learned 

 the use of hydrocyanic acid gas from 

 the Bbview and must say its use has 

 been worth a great deal to me. I was 

 getting gray-headed fighting white fly 

 and other greenhouse pests, but since 

 I learned this method of fumigating 

 and commenced to use it my temper 

 has improved and my hair is regaining 

 its natural color. I buy my cyanide in 

 the granulated form and find it gives 

 better results and is easier to handle.

The Prize Essays. 

 Enclosed find another dollar for the 

 Beview another year. We find your 

 paper covers the field of floriculture 

 about as fully as seems possible. We 

 hope a great deal of good will result 

 from the essays printed in your paper 

 on "The Ideal Employer" and "The 

 Ideal Salesman." Having been both 

 salesman and employer I fully appreciate 

 the largeness of the subject. Anything 

 which will promote a better understand- 

 ing between the employer and employee 

 is worthy of high praise. To know one's 

 fault is the first step toward mending 

 and I think these essays will do a great 

 deal of good. J. H. Cain.
