The Florists^ Review

Elco Brand 



We have been asked the question how we account for the 

 tide of ELCO popularity which has swept the country. 



Our efforts in fair dealing, quality, style, value and com- 

 plete satisfaction to our many friends answers for the confi- 

 dence in the name.

 fecte<l at different stages of develoii- 

 meat. Sometimes they are well liuddeil 

 and ready to ojien when they die. The 

 Seidewitz late pink and white varieties 

 arc tlie ones which are mostly aiteetcd, 

 in si)ite of the fact that they have re- 

 ceived the same treatment as that ad- 

 ministered to the other varieties, which 

 seem to be in a healthy condition and 

 growing well. H. I). — O. 



The specimen plants reveal no or- 

 ganic trouble. They seem to be af- 

 fected with leaf-spots, tlie best remedy 

 for which is to keep them on the dry 

 side of the bench and lie particular 

 about spraying, (live them .i good dust- 

 ing of sulphur or spray them with a sul- 

 pliur solution, which will keep the spores 

 from spreading. Minus should be grown 

 much drier at this time of the year 

 than they are in the summer months. 

 Overhead spraying is practically aban- 

 doned and any watering necessary shoubl 

 be done in the early morning hours and 

 only in sunny weather, in order that 

 the plants may become perfectly dry 

 before nightfall. 



There is much disease among the 

 Seidewit/ stock in the country ami it 

 would be advisable, after the jdants 

 have flowered this year, to throw away 

 all of those which ai-e affected in any 

 way at all and begin over again with a 

 stock of ]>erfectly clean jilauts. It is 

 one of the oldest creeds of the hybrid- 

 izer, whether he is raising jiri/.e shee|> 

 or tlowers, that "like ]iroduci>s like," 

 which is only another way of saying 

 what is so often emphasized — be sure 

 that your stock is clean at all tiuu's if 

 Vdu wish to grow successful crops.

SWEET PEA ROWS. 



My bed of sweet jieas is live feet 

 wide, with four rows, one foot in the 

 row and two to four ]dants at each 

 clunii>. Is this system desirable? Would 

 yf)u advise removing all the side shoots 

 or is it best to leave some on for com- 

 mercial purjioses? S. B. — <'an. 



Your rows are much too close. Two 

 rows would be amjde and would give 

 vastly better results. The most suc- 

 cessful sweet pea growers allow five to
