DBS MOINES, lA. 



Twenty-five of the flower growers of 

 Iowa gathered in the headquarters of the 

 Horticultural Society at the State House 

 August 28 for the fifth annual meeting 

 of the Society of Iowa Florists. Although 

 the convention was not large, a very en- 

 thusiastic session was held. Vice-Presi- 

 dent Judscn A. Kramer, of Cedar Rapids, 

 was elected president and Charles N. 

 Page, of Des Moines, succeeded himself. 

 Secretary Wesley Green was reelected, 

 and Peter Lambert, of Des Moines, was 

 made treasurer, vice W. A. Harkett, of 

 Dubuque. 



A paper by J. T. D. Fulmer, of Des 

 Moines, who is detained in the east, on 

 ' ' Bedding Plants, Their Use and Abuse, ' ' 

 was read by the secretary. The follow- 

 ing papers were read by the authors: 

 ' ' Cannas, " J. T. Temple, of Davenport ; 

 "Thrips and Red Spider," Wm. Tril- 

 low, of Des Moines; "Color Effects in 

 Arranging Flowers," M. K. Zimmer, of 

 Woodbine, and "The Best Method of 

 Glazing Greenhouses," by J. A. Kramer. 



The next convention will be held in Des 

 Moines during fair week in 1908. It was 

 decided to hold a two days' convention 

 next year, as one session gave insufficient 

 time in which to accomplish the work. 



OLD SOIL FOR CARNATIONS. 



1 sowed some buckwheat on old carna- 

 tion soil in the benches, intending after 

 it was partly grown to turn it under, 

 leave it there for a short time and then 

 plant the carnations in it. It is now in 

 bloom, but we are a little fearful of the 

 result. Will you kindly advise us what 

 it will be best to do, as our carnations 

 are ready to come in? C. C. N. 



We have never tried the experiment of 

 sowing buckwheat on any indoor benches 

 and doubt if it pays for the trouble in- 

 volved. While some fertility may be 

 added to the soil by sowing buckwheat, 

 cowpeas, red clover, rye and some other 

 quick growing crops, when we consider 

 that you need to water these crops as 

 you would your carnations and that to 

 cover any of these crops properly involves 

 considerable labor, we do not think it 

 worth the candle. 



Seeing, however, that your crop is 

 grown, turn it under without delay. We

fear it will give you considerable trouble 

 to cover it properly and, when replant- 

 ing your carnations, it will be found a 

 nuisance. It never pays to plant carna- 

 tions or any other indoor crops in old 

 soil. We know it is often done, but you 

 will never find successful growers using 

 anything but new compost. You should 

 add a liberal coating of well rotted barn 

 manure to your soil, and some ground 

 bone. 



Another year, clean out the old soil, 

 spread it on your land, seed down and in 

 two or three seasons you will have fairly 

 good compost to plow up for use.
