or two of lime, repeating the process 

 of layers, the whole to be stacked in the 

 open and left undisturbed during the 

 first twelve months; during the second 

 year it should be turned and mixed some 

 two or three times, after which it is 

 ready for use. 



Good results are obtained in the case 

 of outdoor bulbs by manuring a plot 

 of ground the first year with twenty- 

 five tons of stable manure and growing 

 a crop of beans or something similar, 

 planting tulips the second year and 

 narcissi the third, giving a good dress- 

 ing before turning over the soil, of 

 phosphate manures to the extent of 

 about 400 pounds per acre. Blooms and 

 growth have been fully fifty per cent 

 better. A slight addition of sulphate 

 of potash for use on outdoor bulbs or 

 bulbs not intended to be forced very 

 hard will considerably increase the sub- 

 stance and intensity of coloring of the 

 bloom. J. B.

The Market. 



The market has been a little erratic 

 this week, while demand has been fair. 

 The first part of the week roses were 

 much in evidence, with but slight call. 

 Some excellent Beauties have been shown. 

 The select Kaiserin coming in fr«m sev- 

 eral of the growers could not be im- 

 proved upon. All roses now are improv- 

 ing in quality. Gate, Chatenay, 

 La Detroit and Eallarney are excellent, 

 while Brides, Maids and Liberty con- 

 tinue small and lack the quality that 

 ensures their lasting any length of time. 

 Richmonds are coming along fairly well, 

 while that superb winter rose. Gen. Mac- 

 Arthur, is utterly worthless at this sea- 

 son. 



The first violets of the season put in 

 their appearance last week, which has 

 stimulated the call that has been felt 

 this week. The variety shown. Gov. Her- 

 rick, were sent in by W. A. Calhoon, 

 of East Cleveland. This variety has 

 proved a big money-maker for Mr. Cal- 

 hoon, and he has gone into it heavier 

 this year than ever. He cautions grow- 

 ers to keep this variety in pots plunged 

 throughout the summer and not to per- 

 mit too much head growth to obtain best 

 results. 



Dahlias now are much in evidence and 

 are getting finer every day since the 

 advent of several soaking rains and cool, 

 dewy nights. Wm. Smith, of West 

 Madison avenue, is sending in some 

 superb stock at present. The secret of 

 his success in handling this flower is 

 knowing how to cut the stock, careful 

 handling and delivering it in perfect con- 



dition to the store man. The result is 

 Mr. Smith's stock commands the top 

 price of the market. Dahlias cannot be 

 handled like pig-iron. 



Last week we saw some beautiful 

 funeral wreaths made up entirely of 

 dahlias. Several of them were made of 

 three shades of pink, from the light to 

 dark, and with a lavish use of adian- 

 tum the effect was beautiful. We re- 

 gret that none of the growers hereabouts 

 have been successful with that peerless 

 variety, Twentieth Century, as there is 

 nothing at this season of year makes a 

 more striking table decoration than well 

 grown flowers of that variety. 



Chrysanthemums have not put in their 

 appearance yet. Most of the growers 

 are ten days later than usual with this 

 flower. F. C. Bartels will send in the 

 first cut of Polly Rose the latter part of 

 this week, which will be followed closely 

 by numerous other growers. 



Various Notes. 



G. M. Naumann is showing the finest 

 bench of Lorraine begonia to be seen 

 anywhere. The plants are in perfect 

 health and give promise of exhibition 

 flowers later on. Begonias and cyclamen 

 are Mr. Naumann 's hobby, both of which 

 he does exceedingly weU. 



The James Eadie Co. is doing business 

 in its elegant new corner store on Euclid 

 avenue. They have a double window 

 frontage on the avenue and a well- 

 lighted rear entrance on the side street, 

 which is much appreciated since the re- 

 moval from their cramped location on 

 Erie street. 



The Review has pleased me very 

 much.— C. E. KiDD, Utica, Mich.
