Mention The Review when you write. 



out the Review. Each issue contains 

 something of importance to us. 



The first winter in our new green- 

 houses has been a decided success. We 

 have grown lots of fine tnuma, carna- 

 tions and roses, besides bulb stock and 

 bedding and house plants, and owe a 

 great part of oiir success to what we 

 gleaned from the Review and ' ' The Flo- 

 rists ' Manual." 



Since January 1, 1908, we have erect- 

 ed a new house, 7x60, which is now full 

 of lettuce, which promises a good crop. 

 "We will use it for asters, and later for 

 mums. Stoke & Stoke.

STORED CANNAS ROTTING. 



-. Could you kindly advise me as to the 

 cause of our cannas rotting? Though we 

 have tried several distinct methods of 

 storing, and our stock was thoroughly 

 good when lifted, it has always rewarded 

 us by two-thirds being rotten when sort- 

 ing for planting again. Three years ago 

 we tried leaving them under the benches 

 in the greenhouses, but they were grow- 

 ing sypertluous shoots in the beginning 

 of January. Then we tried shelving 

 them, but they seemed to shrivel up. So 

 this year we tried placing them in boxes 

 in cool, dry cellars, and they appeared 

 to be all right in December, but on sort- 

 ing over this month we find just about 

 two-thirds rotten. You would greatly 

 oblige us by correcting our methods and 

 showing the reasons for our poor results. 



J. B. 



Many growers have trouble with the 

 wintering of canna roots. In the fall, 



when the plants are killed by frost, we 

 prefer not to dig them at once, but 

 leave them a few days, until the sappi- 

 ness has dried out of tne stems. Dig on 

 a warm, sunny day and let the clumps 

 stand sufficiently long to dry out well. 

 We have always stored our roots on 

 shelves in a shed Avhere the temperature 

 will vary from 38 to 50 degrees in win- 

 ter and have had little trouble with rot- 

 ting. A cellar which is well ventilated 

 (luring mild weather and which is dry, 

 without having much fire heat, also keeps 

 them well. A dry atmosphere is neces- 

 sary; otherwise the moisture will start 

 the plants growing and also produce 

 moldiness and decay. A dry cellar which 

 will keep potatoes well should also answer 

 for cannas. 



Wo hope you do not shake away all 

 the soil from your clumps when housing 

 them. If you have done so, the roots 

 are bound to shrivel. One commercial 

 grower packs his roots in dry sand and 

 they always winter well, kept in a dry 

 cellar. C. W^ 



Tyler, Tex. — Mrs. Frank Hewitt says 

 the winter here was fine till February 

 14, but on that date the locality was vis- 

 ited by a small cyclone, by which four 

 persons were killed. Mrs. Hewitt's place, 

 though straight in the track vf the storm, 

 suffered less damage than did some other 

 property. However, some of her fences 

 were blown down, part of her green- 

 house roof was smashed and several 

 panes were driven from her second-story 

 windows. Business, she says, was good 

 all of last year. Everything points to an 

 immense peach crop. The peach trees 

 are now in full bloom and the orchards 

 look beautiful.
