The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JULY 14, 1910. 



Winterson's XomMoation ' 

 Pansy Mixtore 



has a reputation of 16 years' standing. A 

 trial will convince you that it is a **QOOD'* 

 Mixture in every sense of the word. To 

 those who ** KNOW PANSIES" Combination 

 Mixture is especially recommended.

expense of cultivation is estimated at 

 20 francs per hectare (or 100 ares= 

 2.471 acres), which leaves a profit of 

 40 francs ($7.72) per are, or 4,000 

 francs ($772) per hectare (2.471 acres). 

 This represents the profit ofthe grower 

 who sells on the spot to the dealer and 

 shipper, the latter assuming all further 

 expenses of marketing, but who de- 

 mand fifty additional -bnlbs per 

 thousand purchased for contingent 

 shrinkage. 



Methods of Irrigation. 



The bulb gardens an(J- flower planta- 

 tions of the Department of the Var are 

 all, as are the plantations devoted to 

 the growing of early vegetables, depend- 

 ent upon artificial irrigation. Soil and 

 climate, favorable as they are here- 

 abouts, must be supplemented by an 

 adequate system of irrigation of some 

 sort, or the crops fall off considerably. 

 A means of frequent watering is in- 

 dispensable. The rainfall is not abun 

 dant, but in the spring and autumn it 

 often comes in a suflBcient quantity to 

 be of great benefit, though-even at these 

 times the plantations may suffer greatly 

 for lack of moisture. For exploita- 

 tion on a more or less extended scale 

 little attempt is made to supplant na- 

 ture's water supply, but the flower and 

 bulb and seed growers and the truck 

 gardens are dependent at all times on 

 artificial means of raising and distrib- 

 uting irrigating water. 



All is open-air culture here, the only 

 artificial protection given against the 

 chills of night and possible though in- 

 frequent frosts being in few instances 

 by glazed sashes, or more frequently 

 by straw mattings suspended over the 

 growing vegetables, fruits, and flowers, 

 but open at the sides. In addition, 

 where even this protection is not 

 thought necessary, there may be a wind- 

 break of cypress or a lean-to of a sort 

 of heavy matting of reeds. 



The distribution of the water supply 

 is sometimes by flumes or sluices of 

 wood or concrete, more often by mere 

 ditches cut around through the beds, 

 seldom by drains or gutters of tile or 

 pipe laid on the surface or below it. 

 A great loss continually goes on with
