The Weekly Florists' Review.

seed covered not over an eighth of an 

 inch deep. 



From 3,000 to 4,000 seedlings easily 

 can be handled in the above space, and 

 will be ready for transplanting about 

 the first of August. It is best to plant 

 in flats, about 120 plants to each. They 

 grow very quickly in a partially shaded 

 location, and by the first of December 

 will average from eight inches to one 

 foot in height. Thoy are then large 

 enough to transplant in a permanent lo- 

 cation, and if watched carefully for a 

 season will need no further attention. If 

 they are planted in a suitable location 

 and soil they will attain a height of 

 fifty feet in five years. 



The trees should never be planted 

 farther apart than five feet each way, 

 as the tendency to make lateral branches 

 spoils the trees for first quality lumber. 

 If the trees are grown about that dis- 

 tance apart there will be practically no 

 knots in the wood, and the trees will 

 grow absolutely straight. 



The eucalyptus is not usually subject 

 to diseases of any kind in this latitude. 

 It grows best when planted on well 

 drained ground, when there is a fair 

 amount of moisture, and within reach of 

 the coast breezes. It will thrive on poor 

 soil and make a wonderful growth, if 

 there is sufficient moisture. 



The blue gum grows somewhat faster 

 than the red variety, but the limiber has 

 not proven to be of any value wherever 

 it comes in contact with moisture of the 

 soil. It makes a good tree for firewood, 

 as it will grow immediately from the 

 stumps when cut off, and in a space of 

 five years it is again ready for cutting. 

 This is also true of the red gum, so 

 the forests are practically inexhaustible 

 when once established. G.

The Market. 



The don 't-care-if -I-die air which per- 

 vaded the stores during the sultry days 

 of summer has departed, and on all 

 sides there is evidence of active pros- 

 perity. The chrysanthemums are com- 

 ing in appreciable quantities, and will 

 soon bid other stocks go away back 

 and sit down. Heavy frosts during the 

 past week killed all the outdoor flow- 

 ers, and greenhouse goods now have the 

 whole field. There has been a number 

 of weddings and more are slated for the 

 remaining October days. 



The commission house project has not 

 yet passed the talking stage, though 

 there are good prospects that such an 

 enterprise will soon be launched. There 

 are several stories in circulation as to 

 the probable outcome of the agitation 

 of the matter. One is that a well known 

 government employe has secured the 

 necessary backing and will soon open up 

 in the commission line. Another report 

 says that a prominent retailer will go 

 into the commission business. As for 

 the stock company, previously men- 

 tioned in these columns, it seems to 

 have had an attack of cold feet. In the 

 meantime, by "neighboring," peddling, 

 and other means, the growers and retail- 

 ers, as of old, are worrying along.

George H. Cooke has been on a busi- 

 ness trip to New York. 



Alex. B. Garden has been fortunate 

 with carnations, escaping the losses in 

 the field which were so general among 

 the growers. He has now six houses of 

 Enchantress and other different varie- 

 ties of pink, white and red, that are 

 looking fine. A small lot of the Robert 

 Craig is promising. Mr. Garden has re- 

 cently made great improvements, and is 

 now putting in new boilers. His roses 

 and bulbous stock are also well up to 

 the standard. A. F.
