The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



JONB 22. 1911. 



PACIFIC COAST. 



Spokane, Wash. — The florists of this 

 city have organized a club, which will 

 be known as the Spokane Greenhouse 

 Men's Association. The officers are: 

 President, H. E. Eeimers; vice-presi- 

 dent, W. S. Van Dorn, Post Falls, 

 Idaho; secretary, W. J. Burnette, ot 

 Burnette Bros.; treasurer, Mr. Kelly. 

 There are nine charter members. 



A FRUITLESS HOLLT TBEE. 



Can an English holly tree be budded 

 so as to become berried? It blossoms 

 every year, but no berries form. The 

 location is northwestern Oregon. 



E. E. C. 



It is to be presumed that if the 

 English holly bears blossoms it will also 

 bear fruit, and if it does not do so 

 it may be that it is not yet old enough 

 to set the fruit or it may be growing 

 too quickly. The writer had a similar 

 experience some years ago and brought 

 the tree around nicely by root-pruning 

 it early in the spring, as well as short- 

 ening in the top quite a bit at the same 

 time. It has since that time borne 

 heavily every year. It can be easily 

 grafted, but such a proceeding should 

 not be necessary when it has already 

 blossomed. G.

The Market. 



There is a general oversupply of 

 stock and prices are on the decline. 

 The major part of the receipts is con- 

 signed to the dump, as there seems to 

 be no other way to dispose of it. 

 Peonies are in full flower and of fine 

 quality. Some of the Festiva maxima 

 blooms measure eight inches across, but 

 their keeping qualities are ba^ly im- 

 paired and it is scarcely safeto send 

 them out on orders. 



Roses are the best sellers, on account 

 of the numerous weddings, while carna- 

 tions and sweet peas are a drug on the 

 market. Gloxinias are about the only 

 available plants, and asparagus and 

 other greens are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



The graduating high school classes 

 brought a considerable demand for 

 flowers, although far below the stand- 

 ard of former years, owing to the pro- 

 fusion of outdoor blooms. 



J. T. Dayton, representing the Madi- 

 son Basketcraft Co., has been a recent 

 visitor here. E. R, C. 



It is reported that a small green- 

 house will soon be erected at 1926 East 

 Madison street by Wm. E. Dungery. 



LAWN OVERRUN BY MOSS. 



Kindly state what to use, in this Ore- 

 gon climate, to eliminate moss from the 

 lawn, as it is rapidly displacing the 

 grass. Would a solution of lime and 

 sulphur get results? The position is 

 on an elevation, with an eastern ex- 

 posure. , E. E. C. 



In Oregon, where there is an excess 

 of moisture for quite a portion of the 

 year, there is a tendency for moss to 

 grow at the expense of the grass. This

is especially noticeable in places where 

 the soil has become somewhat soured or 

 soggy from an excess of water that has 

 stood for a long time on some particular 

 spot. As the place spoken of is on an 

 elevation, the chances are that the 

 ground is naturally poor or the grass 

 has been allowed to deteriorate from 

 lack of nourishment. 



The first thing to be done is to give 

 the grass a good mulching of well-rotted 

 manure, with about three shovelfuls of 

 air-slaked lime well mixed in each bar- 

 rowful. Lay this on rather thickly and 

 see that it is evenly spread. If the 

 grass is extremely thin, it would be 

 well to rake it over completely before 

 this and sow a few handfuls of grass 

 seed before applying the mulching.
