FIVE PEE CENT ON FEEIGHT. 



The eastern railroads will not be de- 

 nied. Although it is only a few weeks 

 since the Interstate Commerce Commis- 

 sion handed down its decision in the 

 five per cent freight rate case, the rail- 

 roads already are back, asking for all 

 they didn't get then. The commission 

 has announced it will reopen the case, 

 with hearings October 19. 



To florists the principal interest lies 

 in the rate on coal. An advance of five 

 per cent in the freight on coal will 

 mean an extra cost of 10% cents per 

 ton to the big Chicago growers who use 

 smokeless coals from West A'^irginia. 



TULIP BEEAD. 



Harry A. Bunyard, manager for Ar- 

 tliur T. Boddington, calls attention to a 

 ijood use the Hollanders are said to be 

 making of their surplus of tulips — a 

 much better use than shipping them to 

 America. It is contained in a cable 

 from London, as follows: 



"On account of the scarcity of wheat 

 in Holland the As.sociation of Dutch 

 Bakers has sanctioned the use of a so- 

 called 'tulip bread,' in which one-third 

 of the flour used is made from ground 

 tulip bulbs. The bread is said to be 

 nourishing, and the war ministry has 

 recommended its use in the armv. "

 MOW in his new location, at 2.31 South 

 High street, corner of Rich street. 



Blair, Neb. — Rodgers & Pieper, who 

 conduQt business as the Blair Floral 

 Co., are building a 70-foot addition to 

 their greenhouses and making other im- 

 provements.

LILIES FOE EASTEE. 



When shall I plant giganteum lilies 

 to have them on time for Easter, and 

 wliat temperature do thev need! 



A. S. 



(iiganteuni lilies will not arrive from 

 .Japan for some time yet. If you pot 

 them by the end of October or in the 

 early part of November they will come 

 along on time, provided they have suffi- 

 cient heat. Give the bulbs a temper- 

 ature of 55 to 60 degrees when potted. 

 When the pots are filled with roots and 

 the growth is making headway, let them 

 have a warm, moist house, kept at 60 

 to 65 degrees at night right along. 

 Giganteums like heat, and must have it 

 if you want to make a success with 

 them. C. W. 



JEEUSALEM CHEBEIES. 



I should like to get some inform^ ♦ion 

 in regard to growing Jerusalem chenles 

 as this is my first attempt to row 

 them. I have them planted in rov -; j^ 

 the field, here in western New Jo sey. 

 They are nice, bushy plants, som of 

 them full of cherries, which me; -ure 

 about one-half inch in diameter. Will 

 5-inch pots be large enough for tl mt 

 How long will the cherries stay ox. the 

 plants after they have become ed? 

 Are the cherries poisonous? I l.xve 

 pinched the plants back twice. Will 

 they be too early for the Chris) uas 

 trade? H. (,. 



Now is the correct time to lift ind 

 pot your solanums. Endeavor to get a 

 little ball with each and save all pos- 

 sible roots. Pot firmly, place in a cold- 

 frame or on a bench in a cool green- 

 house, shade from bright sunshine ;ind 

 spray freely until the plants ceas(> to 

 wilt. Then give the fullest sunsliine 

 and plenty of water. The size of pots 

 must depend on the kind of plants you 

 have. Large, bushy ones would need 

 the 6-inch size, but many, no doubt, 

 could be accommodated in 5-inch pots. 



The berries are not poisonous. They 

 will keep in perfect condition for Christ- 

 mas in any ordinary greenhouse. When 

 fully ripe the fruit will hang for six 

 to eight weeks, sometimes even longer. 

 If the plants get quite dry, the leaves 

 will drop before the fruit. C. W.
