Mention The Review when you writp- 



less frequent; tubs cannot fall off when 

 being carried to and from a decoration; 

 breakage will be eliminated. While the 

 additional cost of the tubs is an item, it 

 is confidently predicted that the more 

 rapid growth will counterbalance this ex- 

 pense. The larger and the medium and 

 smaller sizes of the kentia are well repre- 

 sented in the Heacock stock. A feature 

 is the seed range set over the pipes on the 

 north side of the house. This idea of 

 utilizing space is further demonstrated by 

 a shelf on the south side of another house 

 overhanging the pipes, which is filled with 

 seedling Cocos Weddelliana. Each seed 

 is sown singly in a single deep pot, a 

 system said to be universally practiced by 

 successful growers of this beautiful palm. 

 A feature of the rose houses is the car- 

 rying over of a 200-foot house of Killar- 

 Bey for another year. This is a change 

 "Ih the usual cuetopi practiced here. All 

 replant young stock each season. The 

 young stock of Killarney, as well as of 



White Killarney, Richmond and Mary- 

 land, is all planted and grovdng vigor- 

 ously. Tables are preferred to solid beds 

 as a rule. 



Dorothy Gordon stands almost un- 

 rivaled in the carnation section. More 

 space than ever before will be devoted to 

 carnations this year, as next spring will 

 witness Dorothy Gordon's coming-out, an 

 event of no small importance at Wyn- 

 cote, requiring careful forethought to 

 secure the best stock. Mr. Heacock feels, 

 as does every conscientious disseminator 

 of new varieties, that however well a va- 

 riety may do with him, no pains must be 

 spared to insure its prospering under 

 many widely varying conditions. 



The orchid section shows marked ex- 

 pansion. The house devoted to Cypripe- 

 dium insigne, a house that has but a 

 single rival in this part of the country, is 

 supplemented by a great stag^lg com- 

 pletely filled with cattleyas, something 

 ' like 7,000 I think Mr. Heacock said. In 



this arrangement is free circulation of 

 air; a board on the south side close to 

 the ground lifts with a hinge, starting 

 the air going around. Each row of or- 

 chids is set on a board, circulation being 

 insured by spaces between each row of 

 boards and plants. These rows rise 

 slightly one above the other to the back 

 nearest the ventilator. The fresh impor- 

 tation was full of promise. Some C. 

 gigas and C. Harrisonii in bloom are 

 beautiful. 



The earnest sincerity of the head of the 

 company is sufficient assurance that thor- 

 oughness and progress wUl continue to be 

 the watchword at Wyncote.
