The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



August 20, 1908. 



Announcement 



Our Red Seedling Carnation to be disseminated January 1, 1909 



This ii a seedling of Enchantress and Crusader. The color is a shade deeper than Crusader. The flower is very 

 double, with high built center. It has wonderful keeping qualities and will therefore be a fine shipper. Although the 

 flower is one of the fullest and heaviest, the calyx it s'rorg enough to hold it and we have seen very few splits in the 

 years we have been growing it. The flower is three inches or more across and freely produced. Everybody who can 

 do Enchantress can do well with this. It has the growth ani stem of Eachantress. We had 5000 plants last 

 winter for cut flowers and it brat any other red on the place; the flowers always brought 1 cent or more above the 

 market price of other redi. "Wt have benched 25,OrO plants and shall exhibit it this fall at all the flower shows aad at 

 that time we shall give it a name.

ASTERS, HOLLYHOCKS AND IBERIS 



I am going to build some greenhouses 

 and I would like to get a little informa- 

 tion. I have been in the florists' busi- 

 ness a long time, but want to raise some 

 small stuff that I often need. Will 

 someone tell me when to plant asters, 

 hollyhocks and candytuft so I can have 

 them to bloom in July and August? 



C. M. T. 



Asters for early outside blooming 

 should be sown in February, and for 

 later crops a succession of sowings can 

 be made up till the middle of June. 

 The young plants should be pricked out 

 into boxes as soon as they are fit to 

 handle, and transferred into the flower- 

 ing beds as soon as ready. This same 

 routine applies to plants to be flowered 

 under glass. 



Hollyhocks should be sown now and 

 the seedlings transplanted to a cold- 

 frame as soon as ready. They require 

 protection the first winter. Transplant 

 to the flowering grounds early in the 

 spring. 



Candytuft for winter blooming can be 

 sown now. The young plants should be 

 potted as soon as ready and transferred 

 to benches in September. For fall bloom- 

 ing sow in April or May, in the ground 

 where they are to bloom. Ribes.
