The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mat 2, 1907. 



WESTERLY. R. I. 



S. J. Keuter is a strong advocate of 

 good labor and pays according to its 

 value. This reminds me of a story heard 

 recently that would seem to outdo Jaggs 

 at his best, but 'tis true, nevertheless. 

 One of the stipulations called for in a 

 recent engagement was that the employee 

 should smoke during working hours, to 

 aid in fumigation, and use tobacco that 

 was wrapped in silvered paper, which 

 paper could be saved for the purpose of 

 filling wire designs. 



Mr. Eeuter says the returns from his 

 advertisements in the Eeview are very 

 gratifying and have almost cleaned him 

 out of stock, which sounds well, seeing 

 that he has 100,000 carnations in 2-inch 

 pots left, ready to plant out. There are 

 thousands in 3% -inch pots, fine stocky 

 plants, ready to plant into benches. 

 White Perfection is grown in large num- 

 bers, but Queen Louise is considered the 

 best commercial white today. Lawson, 

 both pink and white, succeeds well in 

 the old range, as free as ever. In roses, 

 Killarney has produced the best returns 

 this season. Kaiserin has been in crop 

 from November and is now throwing 

 heavy canes. Owing to Killarney and 

 Wellesley being grown in the same house, 

 it was not rested beyond keeping dry 

 for about six weeks, which has benefited 

 it. Chatenay is the only variety that is 

 grown on own roots. Bride, Maid, Kil- 

 larney and Wellesley are grafted, grown 

 one year on benches, then planted in 

 solid beds and run for two and three 

 years, giving excellent returns. 



Mr. Renter's new house, 35x500 feet, 

 will be planted, when finished, with the 

 kinds mentioned. The purlin pipe is 

 also used to carry the water supply; this 

 plan is adopted in all the modern houses 

 and works well. Large numbers of bed- 

 ding stock are grown to supply the big 

 demand at Watch Hill and near-by sum- 

 mer resorts. The Whitmani fern is con- 

 sidered one of the finest for cutting, but 

 not a good pot plant, as it breaks out 

 from the center. Ficus pandurata stands 

 the sun and makes a handsome addition 

 to Buptropical bedding. 



A western manure spreader is used 

 upon the land and is considered a per- 

 fect machine, soon saving its cost, in ad- 

 dition to doing the work thoroughly. 

 Outdoor planting of carnations began 

 April 29. W. M. 



Sault Ste. Maeie, Mich.— The Pries- 

 ter Garden Co. has been organized here, 

 with E. F. Priester at its head. The 

 company will conduct a general nursery 

 business.
