The Weekly Florists^ Review- 



()cT(Jl!i;it 15, 1908. 



weeks. After they are rooted we pot 

 them into Si/j-inch or 4-inch pots, from 

 four to six plants in a pot, and place 

 them in beds outside in September and 

 October, where they remain until planting 

 time the following spring, which should 

 be as early as possible, for a few warm 

 April days start them into growth. 

 Propagators pursue the methods best 

 adapted to the different localities. 



In the Japan section, Lonicera erachy- 

 poda is becoming a real pest, as it roots 

 freely from every shoot touching the 

 ground. Birds are also carrying the 

 seeds and where it becomes firmly es- 

 tablished it is difficult to exterminate it. 



The type catalogued as Halliana has 

 generally superseded the above named, as 

 it is more desirable in every respect. 



Ampelopsis Veitchii. 



That ever useful climber, Ampelopsis 

 Veitchii, is so well known that it requires 

 no description. It is of easiest propaga- 

 tion. Seeds sown in March or April 

 germinate in a few weeks, when they 

 can be potted singly in 2% -inch pots, 

 and if shifted into 4-inch and staked,, 

 will make nice plants by October. The 

 pot-grown plants have the advantage 

 over the field stock for decorative fo- 

 liage. I have noticed that they color up 

 finer under glass, as the grower has them 

 under better control. 



Varieties of the type, like Robusta 

 and Eoylei and others, require to be 

 propagated from cuttings. These root 

 easily in summer from green wood, but 

 I prefer to make them from hard wood 

 cuttings in winter. 



Ampelopsis quinquefolia, our native 

 American species, is useful in cold cli- 

 mates, owing to its extreme hardiness. 

 Easily increased from seed. 



Akebia Quinata. 



This graceful Japanese climber, Ake- 

 bia quinata, seemed to be more common 

 forty years ago, and deserves more at- 

 tention than it receives. Besides its 

 fragrant, chocolate-colored, sweet-scented 

 flowers, it is free from all insect pests 

 and diseases. The easiest way to prop- 

 agate is from the seed, but it also roots 

 freely from cuttings from the young 

 wood in June and July. It will also 

 root from the mature wood in fall, but 

 requires a longer time. 



Celastrus Scandens. 



It has always been a surprise to me 

 that the beautiful native climber, Celas- 

 trus scandens, is not more popular. It 

 has fine, glossy foliage, and in autumn 

 its orange seedpods are charming. It 

 is grown from seed. There are great 

 variations, and to perpetuate the best 

 fruiting strains they should be root 

 grafted. There is plenty of room to 

 work up this breed and show them pot 

 grown for the Thanksgiving and Christ- 

 mas trade. 



It seems to me that there is always 

 room for fine berried plants, and few 

 plants are more attractive than these 

 when full of their charming seed berries. 



NEGAUNEE, MICH. 



The new range of houses for the 

 Cleveland-Cliffs Co., now completed and 

 partly stocked, will enable the company 

 to handle a considerably larger business 

 than in the past. There are seven new 

 houses, six of which are 20x120. The 

 other, immediately behind the boiler 

 plant, is about 20x50. Three of the 

 houses will be used for carnations, one
