much better. Were I asked to name a 

 dozen good pompous, my list would be 

 as follows: White, "White Doty, Mari- 

 ana and Baby Margaret; pink, Niza, 

 Pink Doty and Western Beauty; yellow, 

 Zenobia, Connie Dick, Baby and Golden 

 Climax; bronze, Mrs. F. Wilcox, Doris 

 and Lelia. Twelve good singles would 

 be: Pink, Mrs. Buckingham, Mildred 

 Presby and Mrs. Godfrey; white, Mrs. 

 Waite, Mensa and Lily Neville; bronze 

 and yellow, Beatrice, Portia, Bronze 

 Buckingham, Ida Skiff, Vivian Cook and 

 Golden Mensa. 



Singles, while they in^-luile some of 

 the most beautiful varieties in the whole 

 nium family, are not grown for the New 

 York market to the extent they should 

 be, ill my humble opinion. Like pom- 

 pons, the singles present no problems as 

 to benching or growing culture. Simply 

 plant them in the bench; grow them as 

 well as you can and let them coiiio to 

 bud when nature erdains that they are 

 ready. Some people grow pompons and 

 singles entirely too warm, with the con- 

 secjuenee that the stem is often too long 

 anil weak. To keep them hardy and 

 vigorous, no heat should be applied in the 

 house, unless the temperature gets dan- 

 gerously close to the freezing point. There 

 is little need for anything to be said fo 

 practical growers like yourselves regard- 

 ing the culture of chrysanthemums, but 

 a few general ])oints might perhaps be 



Traendly Digs Up A Bull's Eye 



No need to tell you who Traendly is. 

 Everybody in the business knows that besides being; 

 one of New York's livest commission men and a former 

 president of the S. A. F., he is the man who organized 

 The Wholesalers' Protective Association, of which he 

 has so long been president. 



Because of its organization, every retail florist in New 

 York has to pay his wholesaler's account by the twenty- 

 fifth of every month. 



It sure has made business men of a lot who used to put- 

 ort'-linger-and-delay, and then when pushed for pay 

 hollered: '"Have a heart, have a heart." 



All of which brings me to the fact that Traendly 

 recently, just out of cm-iosity, dropped in at a little old 

 east side flower shop. Inside he ran across this sign: 

 "Artificial flowers hit the bull's eye, like sending 

 a kiss by mail." 



It shot the arrow so straight, kind of thought you 

 might incline to use it somehow yourself.

of assistance. If you, for instance, wish 

 to grow early mums, you must have your 

 plants propagated and planted in good 

 season. Obviously, if one does not 

 strike his cuttings until June, he cannot 

 expect them to flower in September. All 

 good early varieties should be nice 

 plants ready to bench not later than 

 Juno 1, from 2%-inch or 3inch pots; 

 then success is assured. Soil is not so 



important as many other things. Chrys- 

 anthemums do equally well in soil that 

 will grow good corn and potatoes. 

 Copious spraying during the summer 

 will keep down the temperature and in- 

 sects. This spraying should bo concen- 

 trated on the under side of the leaf. This 

 will do more than anything else to keep 

 the plants in good shape.
