The Weekly Florists' Review. 



1487 



growers have thrown their bulbs out and 

 planted the grounds to something more 

 profitable. Probably, after a few hun- 

 dred thousands of bulbs are sacrificed in 

 this way, good prices may be had for 

 the balance. 



The same fault can be found with 

 Paper Whites. Only those that were 

 artificially watered early in the fall and 

 came into bloom during November and 

 December made money for the growers. 

 Those that came on at the height of the 

 season were a loss to the bulb planter, 

 as not over $5 per thousand was paid 

 by the retailers, on the average. 



Valley has been a fair crop for the 

 last season and, although the prices have 

 not been high at any time since Christ- 

 mas week, there has been a steady de- 

 ma,ud. At the present writing the grow- 

 ers receive $4 per hundred. 



I am inclined to think there will be a 

 great scarcity of Lilium Harrisii for the 

 Easter trade. The available stock at 

 the present time is not over one-quarter 

 of that usually seen, and the retailers 

 are careful in accepting orders for fu- 

 ture delivery. Although the growers or- 

 dered largely from the various bulb im- 

 porters a year ago, after our fire many 

 thousands of bulbs were countermanded 

 and, as a result, only a few were plant- 

 ed. The Japanese varieties have not 

 proven to be entirely up to the standard 

 and I have seen but few good results 

 from their handling this season. 



Boman hyacinths have not been a pay- 

 ing crop and most of the growers use 

 them only to fill in when other flowers 

 are scarce. 



Late flowering tulips have brought 

 good prices so far. Dutch hyacinths 

 have not been used to any extent, as 

 they are not in great favor here. 



Calla lilies, owing to the exception- 

 ally mild winter, are plentiful and the 

 price on them has remained low.' Enor- 

 mous quantities will be used in the in- 

 terior for church decorations. The pre- 

 vailing price at present is from $1 to 

 $1.50 per hundred. 



Freesias and Narcissus poeticus are 

 abundant and have brought good prices 

 throughout the season. Q.

 Seagrer, Rochester; Treas.. O. L. Yates, Rochester. 

 The 32d annual convention will be held at De- 

 troit, Mich., June, 1907. 



The Wedge nursery, of Albert Lea, 

 Minn., shipped a carload of American 

 elms to Denver, Colo., last week. 



Hiram McFeron, of the firm of Kelly 

 & McFeron, Columbus, Ind., has pur- 

 chased his partner's interest in the 

 nursery business. 



A LARGE part of the time not devoted 

 to railroads by the state legislature seems 

 to be devoted to nursery legislation. 

 Texas now has a new bill pending, 



W. A. Howell, El Eeno, Okla., says 

 that the demand for ornamental stock al- 

 ready is beginning to be a feature of 

 the nursery business in the southwest. 



J. B. Mason, formerly rose propaga- 

 tor with McGregor Bros. Co., Spring- 

 field, O., is at Chicago and plans to lo- 

 cate in that vicinity, to establish a nurs- 

 ery for hardy stock and do a land- 

 scaping business. 



The unseasonably warm weather is 

 against a record season in the nursery 

 business. Growth has started with a 

 rush and the value of storage cellars as 

 a means of holding stock dormant and 

 prolonging the season is again most 

 forcibly demonstrated. 



The Cottage Gardens Co., Queens, 

 N. Y., has a landscape department in the 

 Metropolitan building, Madison avenue 

 and Twenty-third street. New York city, 

 where Charles "Willis Ward also makes his 

 personal headquarters. Frank W. Smith 

 is in charge of the landscape work. 



It is talked at Rochester that at the 

 next session of congress another bill will 

 be introduced looking to the protection 

 of ownership in horticultural novelties. 

 It is the opinion of conservative men 

 that such a bill, unless very carefully 

 drawn and liberal, would operate against 

 the advance of horticulture. 



SEASONABLE REMINDERS. 



Japanese Maf4e». 



Japanese maples are exceedingly use- 

 ful and ornamental. They can be used 

 to advantage when in pots or tubs for 

 various forms of decoration, both indoor 

 and outdoor, in the hands of the jobbing 

 gardener or the florist. For the orna- 

 mentation of large estates these charm- 

 ing little trees, of endless variety of 

 color and foliage, can be used in great 

 numbers with much effect, in groups or 

 in single specimens here and there. They 

 are also unapproachable for the perma- 

 nent and continuous brightening up of 

 small suburban gardens, a use to which 

 of late they are being put in increased 

 numbers, 



Lombardy Poplar. 



The Lombardy poplar is a quick-grow- 

 ing tree, and the astonishing rapijjity of 

 its attainment of stateliness makes it 

 much favored and in demand for the cre- 

 ation of imposing effects on new places, 

 such as the lining of both sides of an 

 approach to a dwelling. The Lombardy 



will hold 10,000 

 to 15,000
