AMARYLLIS. 



Hippeastrums, or amaryllises are not 

 usually looked upon as suitable for mar- 

 ket work; yet from what I gather from 

 K. Drost, of Kichmond, there seems a 

 future for them. Mr. Drost grows them 

 in large quantities and has a tine strain; 

 considering they are all unnamed seed- 

 lings. This in the first place shows what 

 may be done in the way of getting good 

 stock from seed; for among the large 

 number grown very few of inferior type 

 are seen. By cutting the flowers before 

 they are too far developed they last fairly 

 well, and they are much appreciated for 

 decorations. I should hardly think it 

 would prove profitable if we got too many 

 on the market, yet with the style of deco- 

 rations now in fashion they are most 

 suitable. There may be few who would 

 succeed so well with them as Mr. Drost 

 does, and being closely connected with 

 the west end florists, he has another ad- 

 vantage: most of his blooms are on order 

 even before they are ready to cut. Those 

 who would take up their culture must be 

 in connection with the florists who have 

 choice work to carry out. If sent to 

 Covent Garden market, some mornings 

 they might sell at top- prices, but it might 

 often happen that there would be no de- 

 mand for them, for I know the same 

 thing occurs wiw other choice flowers. 



I believe it is chiefly for cut bloom 

 that Mr. Drost grows the amaryllis, yet 

 as pot plants for decorations they are 

 very effective. They are just the sort 

 of plants to stand up well among choice 

 ferns, as they give a little relief without 

 detracting from the beauty of the ferns. 

 We are now getting a surplus of many 

 things which, a few years ago, were diflS- 

 cult to procure, and it becomes more and 

 more necessary to look for something 

 fresh for choice work, and in the amaryl- 

 lis we have at least one subject that has 

 not yet been overdone, and there should 

 be an opening for anyone to make a 

 profitable return if they did them well. —

HAIL. 



E. r. Walter, of Junction City, Kan., 

 thinks if cannonading will disperse hail 

 storms the United States government 

 might try the experiment by sending a 

 battery of artillery over from Fort Kiley 

 to do the trick. 



John G. Esler supplements this by sug- 

 gesting that the government have a flying 

 machine equipped with wireless appa- 

 ratus, searching for the hail storm, so 

 that the battery won't waste powder on 

 anything but the real article. 



Rotterdam Junction, N. Y. — Albert 

 Whitehouse is starting in the greenhouse 

 business here. 



Franklin, Tenn. — Truett Bros, have 

 just completed another house 20x75 for 

 carnations. Business is good.
