The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Mat 19, 1910. 



ORANGE, N. J. 



Dr. J. M. W. Kitchen, of East Orange, 

 read a paper on ' ' The Question of Heat- 

 ing for Orchid Culture" before the New 

 Jersey Floricultural Society, in Ldndsley 

 hall, 240 Main street, May 13. He rec- 

 ommended hot water as the best medium 

 for heating and advised having plenty of 

 radiating surface, so as to have the pipes 

 only moderately hot, which makes it 

 more congenial for the orchids. 



An interesting discussion followed in 

 regard to the time of shading. Dr. 

 Kitchen said he shaded in the latter part 

 of January and used white lead and 

 kerosene for that purpose. J. A. Manda 

 considered that time too early, and said 

 the latter part of March was time 

 enough. He recommended crude oil and 

 whiting as being the best material for 

 shading, as well as the cheapest. 



John J. Dervan asked Dr. Kitchen 

 what was the best thing to do to get rid 

 of the cattleya fly. He replied that he 

 had tried all the different kinds of in- 

 secticides, but found he got the best re- 

 sults from strong fumigation with to- 

 bacco stems when the plants were not in 

 flower. 



The monthly exhibit for points was 

 exceptionally fine and the competition 

 was keen. Those who lead in the various 

 classes at present are: Roses, A. B. Jen- 

 kins, Albert F. Larson gardener; carna- 

 tions, Chas. A. Hathaway, Max Schneider 

 gardener; vegetables, A. C. Von Gaas- 

 beck, John J. Dervan gardener; foliage 

 and flowering plants, S. M. & A. Colgate, 

 William Eeid gardener. 



The following are the awards of the 

 judges: Boses — Albert F. Larson, 90 

 points ; John J. Dervan, 90 ; Frank Drew, 

 85; William Eeid, 70. Carnations — Max 

 Schneider, 80 points; John J. Dervan, 

 75; William Eeid, 70. Flowering plants 

 — John J. Dervan, 85 points; William 

 Eeid, 75. Foliage plants — William Eeid, 

 90 points. Collection of vegetables, John 

 J. Dervan, 90 points. Lager & Hurrell, 

 cattleya Mossiae, 80 points. 



Certificates were awarded for the fol- 

 lowing exhibits, not in competition for 

 points: Max Schneider, cineraria. Vic- 

 tory carnation, rhubarb and lettuce, cul- 

 tural certificate; John J. Dervan, calceo- 

 larias, cultural certificate; Albert F. Lar- 

 son, roses,* cultural certificate. 



Fritz Berglund, gardener for the Es- 

 sex County Country Club, showed a nice 

 vase of Canterbury bells. Albert F. Lar- 

 son received a first-class certificate for a 

 scarlet seedling carnation. 



John J. Dervan will read an essay on 

 "Growing Eoses Under Glass," at the 

 next meeting.
