The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



43 



Our 2-page adv. in the REVIEW of July 4, contained an.... 



Unqualified Guarantee 



of Three for One on all untrue stock of Peonies and Iris. 



We can do this because we are absolutely certain of every variety and every plant in our stock. 

 Pay no attention to what you read about the impossibility of knowing what you are buying or selling — 

 but buy of those who DO know what they are selling. 



See list of varieties with prices in the REVIEW of July 4, or send for descriptive price list. Send 

 orders now. We ship early in September.

onds. I never knew it to injure them. 

 Last spring some root grafts had devel- 

 oped woolly aphis in a journey from 

 the east, and we fumigated wiih sulphur 

 before planting. We saw no more of the 

 aphis, and the grafts all grew. I am 

 not at all afraid to dip or fumigate dor- 

 mant trees; would prefer dipping. There 

 are many cases of trees which leave the 

 nursery apparently in good order, but 

 reach the customer badly infested with 

 woolly aphis, which have increased in the 

 ^ntle heat which developed in the case 

 in transit. The customer is surprised 

 to see what the nursery has sent out. 

 Besult: Lots of trouble for the inno- 

 cent nurseryman. T. E. Hopkins. 



SEEDLING LILIES AND LILACS. 



We sowed seed in the open ground in 

 April, of some new lilies and lilacs. The 

 seed did not start until September and 

 then perished. What was the trouble! 



E. Y. T. 



Lilium seeds are often slow in ger- 

 minating, although in the case of some 

 of the forcing varieties seedlings from 

 nine to eighteen months old have been 

 flowered. Some varieties, however, are 

 much slower to appear above ground. 

 We think if you had sown the lilies and 

 lilacs either in a cool greenhouse or in 

 a frame, where they could have secured 

 more uniform moisture at the root and 

 necessary shade in the earlier stages, 

 jou would have had better results. Our 

 severe winters are often too much for 

 these little seedlings. Try sowing in 

 flats or pans under glass another time. 

 They are then under your observation 

 and will be likely to get more of the 

 fussing over, which many of the seed- 

 lings need. C. W. 



HYDRANGEA OTAKSA. 



What treatment should Hydrangea 

 Otaksa receive from now on I I have 

 them, about 200, in 5-inch pots, from 

 one to six shoots to a plant. They have 

 not flowered this season, but I want 

 ■some in bloom for next Easter and the 

 balance for Decoration day. They now 

 occupy a side bench in a mum house. 

 Will fumigating with tobacco stems hurt 

 themf C. U. 



Your hydrangeas should now be placed 

 in the open air, where they will do much 

 better than under glass. Fumigating 

 will not hurt them and if they are trou- 

 bled with aphis give them some smoke.

In placing outside, if kept well syringed 

 no insects will trouble them. If the 

 plants are getting potbound, it would 

 be better to shift into 7-inch pots, using 

 good loam, cow manure and some fine 

 bone as compost. Stand in a sunny lo- 

 cation on a bed of ashes. Keep well 

 watered and you should have some splen- 

 did stock for next Easter and Memorial 

 day. Leave outdoors until frost nips the 

 leaves a little; then place in a cool pit 

 or cellar. Reduce the water supply a 

 little in September to assist in ripening 

 up the wood, not, however, to the extent 

 of allowing the plants to wilt down.
