The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



XOVBSfBEB 16, I'.ni. 



nursery stock began in the latter part 

 of October. Not so much planting will 

 be (lone this year as there has been 

 in some years in the past, but there 

 will be a great deal. Record of each 

 shipment must be sent to the state of- 

 fice in Tacoma, as well as to the office 

 of the local inspector into whose ter- 

 ritory the shipment is made. 



New interest in horticulture is being 

 aroused west of the mountains, a meet- 

 ing being planned to be held in Cen- 

 tralia, to encourage the development 

 of that section in the same manner in 

 which the Puyallup valley has been 

 developed. Mr. Huntley and others in- 

 teirested in horticulture will speak at 

 this meeting. 



Bichmond, Cal. — Adolph Winters has 

 closed his establishment at Fourth street 

 and McDonald avenue and has organ- 

 ized a flower and nursery business in 

 West Richmond, under the name of the 

 Adolph Winters Co. He reports a good 

 trade. 



Los Angeles, Cal. — It is reported that 

 Frank M. Smith, formerly of the Smith 

 & Fetters Co., Cleveland, 0., has stated 

 that he is making plans to open a first-' 

 class flower store here. Mr. Smith has 

 resided here for some time. He is now 

 on an eastern trip. He is one of the 

 most skillful flower artists in the coun- 

 try. 



Seattle, Wash. — The city park board 

 liHs accepted the plans prepared by 

 Hitchings & Co., of New York city, for 

 :i conservatory to be erected in Volun- 

 teer park, and has also accepted that 

 firm's bid of $9,920 for furnishing the 

 materials, including the heating ap- 

 paratus and the interior fittings. The 

 conservatory will be 23 x 200, with 

 42-foot wings on each end. The total 

 cost of both materials and erection is 

 estimated at $24,500. 



Santa Cruz, Cal. — Clarence Goodwin, 

 a youth who was formerly employed by 

 the Leedham Bulb Co., of this city, 

 has formed a partnership with C. E. 

 Berg, another young man, and they 

 have begun business in a modest way 

 as growers of outside stock. They will 

 plant a line of bulbs, such as narcissi, 

 irises and gladioli, as well as several 

 varieties of Spencer sweet peas. They 

 are also planning to grow asters and 

 snapdragons. A local shipper, they say, 

 has agreed to handle their output next 

 spring. They intend later to build a 

 greenhouse and grow carnations and 

 other stock. 



POINSETTIA LEAVES DEOPPING. 



Can you tell me why my poinsettias 

 drop their leaves so badly? Writers in 

 The Review say to give them a tem- 

 perature of 50 to 55 degrees at night 

 till they begin to set their bracts, when 

 they should have a somewhat higher 

 temperature. Also it is stated that 

 want of feed, too much dryness at the 

 roots or too low a temperature will 

 cau.se the trouble. In my case it seems 

 likely that the temperature is to blame, 

 for when I had them in a rose house, 

 running it at 58 to 60 degrees, they 

 did not drop their leaves. What do you 

 think? S. 21. 



Poinsettias kept at 50 to 55 degrees 

 at night should not lose their leaves 

 unless they are too much potbound and 

 starved at the root or have been al- 

 lowed to become too wet or dry. The

THAT TREE STUMP AGAIN. 



A recent issue of The Review con- 

 tained an inquiry as to how a tree 

 stump might be removed without grub- 

 bing or blasting. Here is a good, re- 

 liable and safe method: Bore the 

 stump full of 1-inch' holes, making the 

 holes deep enough to penetrate well 

 into the heart of the stump; fill the 

 holes with kerosene and let it soak in 

 for a few days. Then set the stump 

 afire and it will burn out slowly but 

 surely. W. G. H.
