The Weekly Florists' Review* 



NOVKMBER 23, 1905. 



VICTORY 



The best scarlet carnation— is a fancy in the fullest sense of the word 



TOLEDO. 



Qub Meeting. 



Our Florists' Club meeting, on Novem- 

 ber 15, was well attended. Fine cycla- 

 mens were sliown by (ieorge Eaekhani, of 

 Detroit, by Christ Winterich, of Defiance, 

 who came down witli the stock, and by 

 E. A. Kuhiiko. A bunch of mums by 

 Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich., drew 

 much favorable conunent. The grower 

 said they were only seconds, but most 

 growers present would have been proud 

 to let them go under his own name as 

 firsts. E. G. Hill Co. also sent a large 

 lot of mums that showed what skilled 

 hands can do, but their tlowers arrived 

 mostly in poor condition, yet those that 

 kept best brought fancy prices at the end 

 of the meeting. Krueger Bros., of this 

 •city, showed fine American Beauties, 

 •which shows that they can be grown in 

 Toledo as well as anywhere else. Mr. 

 Winterich also brought up a few ma- 

 honia branches and as everybody thought 

 they would be the right thing for decor- 

 ating and making up, the members pres- 

 ent soon put ",the smile that won't come 

 off" on him by the orders they gave him. 

 He also showed a new impatiens of sal- 

 mon color that took well with the boys. 

 It is called Impatiens Holstei. 



After the business part of the meeting 

 was out of the way, E. A. Kuhnke was 

 called upon to explain how he grew the 

 cyclamen shown by him, which he did in 

 a short, snappy talk, after which answer- 

 ing questions by the members. Mr. Win- 

 terich took the floor and, being an expert 

 in cyclamen culture, kept the attention 

 of the audience for a good while. Mr. 

 Winterich produces his own seed and sells 

 about 40,000 plants during the season. 

 The plants shown by him, although not 

 in bloom, showed that he certainly knows 

 how to handle them. The cyclamen sent 

 by George Rackham, of Detroit, were 

 more in bloom than any and well up to 

 the standard of excellence set by him for 

 a number of years. We were only sorry 

 that he did not come himself. 



Fred Ritter, our pottery man, came 

 ■down with a box of cigars and the boys 

 dutifully emptied the box. Our presi- 

 dent, George Bayer, has had new honors 

 heaped upon him, being elected to the 

 city council from the fourth ward on the 

 independent ticket. Wonder what trouble 

 he will get into next. 



Thos. Magee, of the Scottwood Green- 

 houses, was not present at the last meet- 

 ing. It would have cost him a box of 

 ten-centers to square' matters with the 

 boys. He had a large wedding decora- 

 tion on hand the day before the meeting 

 and certainly did a fine job. After his 

 men had finished, he went to the house to 

 inspect and there the bride caught sight 

 of him and she was so well pleased and 

 the house looked so gorgeous that smack,

GERANIUMS. 



Referring to an item on the geranium 

 under the heading of ' ' Timely Remind- 

 ers ' ' in your issue of November 9, I wish 

 to ask for further information as to 

 their ' ' needing practically no water for 

 several months." Can they be held for 

 such a length of time as that in the sand 

 after rooting without injury to the fu- 

 ture plant? R. H. C. 



Geraniums, if rooted in flats, or to be 

 more correct, boxes of sand, need very 

 little water after being rooted. Between 

 now and February one watering per month 

 should suffice. All that is needed is to 

 prevent them from shriveling up. As to 

 their being hurt by such treatment, we 

 would say that for many years we have 

 grown all our bedding stock this way 

 and have not lost five per cent of the 

 cuttings put in. Of course the plants will 

 stand more water, but we do not think it 

 desirable to encourage growth before 

 February. When taken out of the flats 

 at that date they will be hard, stocky 

 plants with a mass of fine, fibrous roots 

 which will soon develop fine plants in a 

 moderately warm and moist house and 

 make splendid 4-inch pot stock before 

 bedding-out time comes around. 



Erie, Pa. — E. C. Hill has a seedling 

 geranium which has made a hit with 

 everyone who has seen it. It is cerise in 

 color and has a fine habit. 



Macon, Ga. — The Idle Hour Nurseries, 

 under the ownership of D. C. Horgan, 

 are having a genuine boom. The store 

 on Cotton avenue is one of the most con- 

 stantly busy places in Macon. It is said 

 to be the best equipped and handsomest 

 store of the kind in Georgia. At the big 

 fair just closed the concern received six 

 first awards.
