They should not be crowded too much 

 and, if the grower has house room suffi- 

 cient for them, they multiply quickly. 



With the recurrence of another mild 

 winter, should we have one on the Pa- 

 cific coast, there will be no difficulty in 

 having splendid smilax all through the 

 winter season. Smilax watered now will be 

 fit to cut in November and, should the 

 season not be too severe from then on- 

 ward, another crop can easily be gather- 

 ed from the same plants. Very cold 

 weather retards the growth and some- 

 times may nip a portion of the tip of 

 the leaves, thereby greatly lessening the 

 value of the cut strings. 



The texture is not quite so delicate 

 outside as it is under glass, but in gen- 

 eral work it answers well. Smilax that is 

 grown under glass will give considerable 

 more growth from the same number 

 of plants. They apparently do not need 

 such a long resting season and a better 

 quality is produced, but as smilax is al- 

 ways looked on as a cheap article at 

 best, many growers do not like to allow it 

 house room. 



During favorable winters smilax grown 

 outside has proven to be a good money- 

 maker. Should the season, however, turn 

 out to be severe, a much poorer quality 

 of material will be produced and a much 

 smaller quantity as well. G. 



WAYSIDE NOTES. 



Carnation Enchantress has well main- 

 tained the name so aptly bestowed upon 

 it and will undoubtedly prove itself to 

 be as profitable a variety this season 

 as it was in the past. William P. 

 Pfeifer, of Utica, N. Y., challenges the 

 record made in March last, when in a 

 house 30x124 feet he gathered at one 

 picking 30,000 blooms. A photograph 

 taken at that time gives some idea of 

 the tremendous crop. This was not a 

 chance harvest, but the result of careful 

 fertilizing. 



William Mathews, of Utica, reports 

 the demand for orchid blooms as being 

 on ^ the increase. At the time of my 

 visit Artist Harry was making up a 

 handsome wreath of bronze galax, touch- 

 ed oflF with Cattleya Ilarrisoniana and 

 Oncidium citrosmum. 



Frank C. Baker, of Utica, was heading 

 for a ball game, being prevented from 

 attending the convention and taking part 

 with his Buffalo friends. Carnations 

 are all planted and look fine. Demand 

 for small ferns is increasing. 



H. A. Maxiner, of Herkimer, N, Y., 

 has made many improvements since he 

 purchased this plant, and feels at times 

 like spreading out. However, he read 

 President Traendly's address with much 

 interest and has decided to bide a wee 

 until business warrants expansion. 



The Hatchers, of Amsterdam, N. Y., 

 both father and son, returned from the

convention full of the good things seen 

 and heard there. Nothing like ocular 

 proof. One gets an entirely different 

 view than by reading reports, however 

 concise they may be. 



Fred Goldring, of Slingerlands, N. Y., 

 usually carries over one-half his rose 

 stock. Replanting and cutting back later 

 cause the plants to make strong breaks. 

 Eight houses, each 130 feet long, are 

 planted with teas. KilJarney has done 

 well. White Killarney will be added 

 this season. The almost extinct Perle 

 is grown here and is shipped to all 

 parts in small numbers. It is the trade- 

 mark of this establishment. 



H. G. Eyres, of Albany, N. Y., says 

 the richest design he sends out is com- 

 posed of Perles anri violets, with Cattle- 

 ya Dowiana. W. M.
