The method of growing cyclamens has 

 changed decidedly this season. The Rob- 

 ert Craig Co. has put up two houses, one 

 12x225, the other 12x200, especially for 

 these plants. These houses are arranged 

 with slat tops — the tops that were used 

 on the frames. These slats are placed in 

 position every morning at 9 a. m. and 

 removed about 5 p. m., thus giving the 

 cyclamens as much light as possible, with- 

 out the direct rays of the sun. On both 

 sides of each house for the entire length 

 are doors on hinges, which are left down 

 during mild weather, thus admitting a 

 free circulation of air immediately over 

 the top of the plants. Both houses have 

 been piped with the intention of flower- 

 ing the cyclamens therein. The plants 

 grown under these conditions aje in 

 splendid shape, sturdy and vigorous, in 

 medium sized pots, placed on tobacco 

 stems. The cyclamen strain is from seed 

 saved -on the place, from the best varie- 

 ties of the past years. This seed is col- 

 lected chiefly with a view to early flower- 

 ing (cyclamens at Christmas are what 

 you want), and to their colors and free- 

 dom of bloom. Mr. Craig believes he has 

 something very choice, and there is every 

 indication that his belief is well founded. 



The Politics of Flowers, 



Not many days ago it was stated on 

 reliable authority that five prominent 

 business men of this city had been gath- 

 ered together in one afternoon at Wynd- 

 moor. It was asserted on the Street, 

 that fertile field of information, that 

 these five members of the profession had 

 gone to Myers & Samtman's, at Wynd- 

 moor, for a definite purpose. The Street 

 had various conjectures as to what that 

 purpose might be, because the five stand 

 so high in floricultural circles that it felt 

 sure there was something doing that 

 would prove of general interest. The five 

 referred to were Henry Bauer, Frank 

 Gaul, Charles E. Meehan, Leo Niessen 

 and Samuel S. Pennock. Myers & Samt- 

 man are so prominent as Beauty growers 

 that the Street at once jumped to the 

 conclusion that the distribution of Beau- 

 ties was under consideration. It was 

 generally known that John Burton would 

 be King Bee in the local Beauty market

for the coming season. Could it possibly 

 be that this was an effort pro and con re- 

 garding the dispensing of the Beauty 

 crop of Myers & Samtman, or, to be more 

 explicit, were the accredited representa- 

 tives of a certain attractive young man 

 endeavoring to make it clear to growers 

 and wholesalers that the welfare of the 

 city market required that a certain pro- 

 portion of the Beauty crop of the city 

 should reach him direct. A representative 

 of the most progressive florists' paper 



called on Frank P. Myers and asked him 

 whether he was going to send all, or any 

 portion, of his American Beauties direct 

 to the buyers next season. Mr. Myers 

 smiled pleasantly and answered at once, 

 "Any man who seriously considers doing 

 such a thing should have trustees ap- 

 pointed for him at once."
