The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



DiDCSMBBB 28, 19U5. 



were seen in the results of the aster 

 crop, especially the later Comet types 

 and the Victoria, the moisture having 

 got into the flower heads and rotted the 

 incipient seed before it had a chance to 

 ripen. High prices therefore rule for 

 these choice strains and only a mod- 

 erate percentage of germination must 

 be looked for. Nasturtiums are very 

 late this season, and an uneven crop. 

 Quotations rule higher than last year 

 and buyers should be prepared for slow 

 deliveries. A few other articles are 

 short, such as dahlia seed and certain 

 colors of stock-flowered larkspur, but 

 flower seeds have on the whole done well 

 this year. 



Business has started well, orders com- 

 ing in rapidly, and many large consign- 

 ments of seeds have already been 

 despatched to Great Britain, the Colo- 

 nies and America. — Horticultural Trade

LILIUM GIGANTEUM. 



Will you kindly give me some infor- 

 mation about the treatment for Lilium 

 longiflorum giganteum? This is my 

 first attempt to grow them and I want 

 them for Easter. W. W. 



The usual method employed in the 

 culture of these lilies under glass is to 

 pot them immediately on receipt, putting 

 them into pots just large enough to hold 

 the bulb. They should then be placed in 

 a house with a temperature not to ex- 

 ceed 50 degrees. Water thoroughly and 

 cover the pots with litter until root ac- 

 tion has begun. Keep a careful watch 

 on the progress made and as soon as the 

 stems are one inch above the soil re- 

 move the litter and increase the tempera- 

 ture to 60 degrees. 



When the pot is well filled with roots 

 they should be repotted into the flower- 

 ing pots, placing them deep enough to 

 cover at least one inch of the stem. As 

 they increase in size a little liquid feed- 

 ing is beneficial. The worst enemy they 

 have to contend with is greenfly, which 

 should be kept in check by a weekly 

 fumigation of tobacco. R. 



Here is a dollar for another year of 

 one of the best papers published.— J. M.
