that the bulbs are or have flowered; less 

 well than usual, but the weight of evi- 

 dence is against them. The Guernsey 

 correspondent of one of the British 

 trade papers throws some light on the 

 subject, as follows: 



' ' Forced bulbs have flowered poorly 

 and varieties in bloom in the fields 

 also are doing poorly. That, however, 

 is all the effect of weather conditions, 

 and has nothing whatever to do with 

 the quality of the bulbs, nor with the 

 cultivation. None of our bulbs had a 

 proper chanjee of getting the usual 

 ripening during 1913. Just the bare 

 reciord of last year's deficiency of sun- 

 shine will plainly show that. Guern- 

 sey's average number of hours of sun- 

 ■shine, during some forty years,- totals 

 out at 1,925 hours. We have iad over 

 2,100 hours in a year. Last year gave 

 us only 1,671 hours, or over 230 hours 

 less than the average. It was the 

 gloomiest and .least sunny year Guern- 

 sey has ever known since meteorological 

 records have been , kept. •. Xhat fact 

 alone accounts fully for the late flow- 

 ering of the loulb's this season," and for 

 their poor floriferousness. Some of the 

 buyers of our bulbs are complaining 

 against the sellers; but how, in the face 

 of such facts, can anyone expect differ- 

 ent results?" 



. — DON'T LIKE HATCHEEI. 



"With reference to Asparagus Hat- 

 ch^ri, '.' .says a British trade journal, 

 ' ' this American novelty has been in this 

 country for the last two years, and as 

 a market commodity it has failed to 

 catch on. Florists consider it too 

 heavy, while its color, sa far as I have 

 seen, is too dark. It is a vigorous 

 grower, and yields a big crop, but a 

 grower of my acquaintance who im- 

 ported a quantity when it first came 

 out, finds it unsuitable for the reasons 

 mentioned. ' ' 



EESTINO PERIOD OF CALLAS. 



We have a few callas growing in 

 solid beds, from bulbs planted last fall. 

 They have made a splendid growth, 

 standing fully four and one-half feet 

 high, and have bloomed for two months, 

 but we think they are nearly over. We 

 want to know how to handle the bulbs 

 when they are through blooming. As 

 we need the room, we can not well 

 leave them in the ground where they 

 now are. We also have an order of 

 4-inch Godfrey callas coming in and 

 wish to know whether they should be 

 potted or planted in the ground, and 

 whether we can expect any blooms this 

 year. C. D. O. 



Callas, if kept well fed and watered, 

 should bloom profitably for at least 

 five months. In pots they do not grow 

 so strongly as in benches, but bloom 

 more abundantly. As you need the 

 space where your callas are now grow- 

 ing, it would be necessary to lift and 

 store the plants in boxes for some 

 time. The natural resting time does 

 not come until the end of May. It 

 will not do to dry the plants off thus 

 early. 



Godfrey callas in 4-inch pots will not 

 flower this year. If you will take the 

 advice of one who has grown these 

 successfully, do not plant them out; 

 keep in pots all the time and they will 

 flower with wonderful profusion, out- 

 blooming the old Calla ^thiopica 

 about three to one. C. W.

Pacific Coast 

 Florists: 



What stock have you 



for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade about 

 it by nsing the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably rei)ort good 

 results. Like this: 



Say I Tbat ad's a humdinger for getting the 

 business.— Everett Floral Co., £verett. Wash. 



I sold all the Mum cuttings advertised, and you 

 will not hear from me again until I can get some 

 more stock ready. Shall root 100,000 Carnation 

 cuttings for next leaaon, as I know The Review 

 will sell them for me.— Frank Wilhelm, Los An- 

 geles, Gal. 



Please cat out of our advertisement in The Re- 

 view the cyclamen seedlings. We sold all oar 

 surplus cyclamen seedlings as a direct iMolt of 

 our advertisement in your paper.— Spokane 

 Oreenhooses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last adyertimnent in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At> 

 lantic and Padflc coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem. 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mass.— State Floral Co.. 

 North Yakima, Wash. 



We are well pleased with the results obtained 

 by advertising in the Pacific Coast Department of 

 The Review. We sold out clean and refused 

 many orders. The Review surely gives results. 

 —Van Slyke & Seamons, Tacoma, Wash. 



The transient rate for space 

 is $1 per inch per insertion. 

 Those who have stock to offer 

 all or a considerable part of 

 the year around should write
