sary, be done with annuals, just as well 

 as with other plants. Many of the fail- 

 ures which have existed with these 

 plants have come about through not 

 knowing the proper kinds to use; to at- 

 tain results one must know which are 

 best suited for the effects that are de- 

 sired. 



THE PARIS FLOWER TRADE. 



The flower trade of Paris is one of the 

 largest of its kind in the world, owing to 

 the wealth of floral decoration employed 

 by the French people. According to Le 

 Jardin, more than 200,000 flowering 

 plants daily arrive at the City market, 

 and this is exclusive of the enormous sup- 

 plies of cut flowers. The plants are 

 grown partly on the outskirts of Paris 

 itself, and partly in the surrounding 

 country districts. Some 200 growers, 

 who altogether occupy about 150 hectares 

 (370 acres) of ground, of which one- 

 third is under glass, send the whole of 

 their produce, to the annual value of 

 about $1,000,000, into the city. This is 

 exclusive of the forced lilacs from Vitry, 

 and the roses from La Brie, which ac- 

 count for another $300,000. Other towns 

 contribute cut flowers to about the same 

 value. In addition, some 30,000,000 

 plants in pots are annually received from 

 these sources, besides the large quantities 

 of camellias, roses, azaleas, etc., which 

 arrive from more remote districts. An 

 immense number of bulbs, orchids and 

 other exotics are also imported from for- 

 eign countries, swelling the sales to a 

 huge total.
