PHYSALIS FRANCHETTL 



It is remarkable how well this plant 

 has done with market growers, says the 

 Horticultural Advertiser. During the 

 autumn it has been one of the most 

 prominent features in the London mar- 

 ket. There has been considerable differ- 

 ence in the various samples seen; where 

 grown too strong they do not finish off 

 so well; those of moderate strength color 

 best; and it seems that the most suitable 

 soil is sandy loam. One grower who has 

 it in good condition tells me that he does 

 not re-plant often, but runs the horse hoe 

 or harrow through it. This takes out a 

 good many roots but leaves sufficient, 

 and also cleans the ground and leaves it 

 open. It is one of those plants which, 

 being hardy and easily cultivated, we are 

 getting larger supplies than are needed. 

 Yet it will always pay to do it in smaller 

 quantities, and do it really well. At the 

 present time the best samples make re- 

 munerative prices, while loads of rougher 

 grown samples fail to find a market. 

 Several growers are doing it well in pots, 

 and it makes a showy plant; but most of 

 those that I have seen have been in lar- 

 ger pots than most decorators care to 

 use, and the consequence is that pot 

 plants do not sell readily. The fact that 

 when cut it lasts so well may also be 

 against the sale of pot plants. A limited 

 number may pay, but it will never be 

 worth doing in pots in large quantities. 



BOSTON FERNS. 



For several years it has been the regu- 

 lar thing for Boston ferns to be over- 

 plentiful in the fall and early winter, 

 prices being low and sales slow. It has 

 often been stated by growers thaj; they 

 feared the day of the Boston was over, 

 but the spring has always seen an active 

 demand and stock well cleaned up. In- 

 deed, last spring it was almost impossi- 

 ble to purchase Bostons, even though 

 the stock the autumn before had been 

 the largest on record.. 



The growers of Bostons should be cau- 

 tioned, however, against sending out to 

 their customers plants just potted from 

 the bench. Such stock does not give satis- 

 faction and it is an injury to the reputa- 

 tion of the man who sells it and does 

 an injury to the trade at large. 



Y- 



Ironton, O. — Weber Bros, have had 

 a very satisfactory fall season. They 

 had an excellent crop of chrysanthemums 

 and the trade took them up as fast as 

 ready. Good crops are in sight for the 

 holidays.
