 carnations are not doing so vpell as 

 formerly. 



I submitted a sample of the water 

 for analysis and received the following 

 report: Acidity, four one-hundredths 

 per cent; total solids, 970 parts per 

 million or 56 grains per gallon; organic 

 matter, 30 parts per million or 1.74 

 grains per gallon; lime and magnesia 

 carbonates, 155 parts per million or 8.99 

 grains per gallon; lime and magnesia 

 sulphates, 246 parts per million or 14.27 

 grains per gallon; sodium chloride, .56 

 parts per million or 3.25 grains per gal- 

 lon; iron carbonate, 124 parts per mil- 

 lion or 7.19 grains per gallon; nitrates, 

 none; dissolved oxygen, .65 parts per 

 million; free and half bound carbon 

 dioxide in fresh sample, 150 parts per 

 million; total carbon dioxide in fresh 

 water, 168 parts per million; free and 

 half bound carbon dioxide after stand- 

 ing and precipitation, 48 parts per mil- 

 lion j' total carbon dioxide after stand- 

 ing and precipitation, 141 parts per 

 million; sediment consists almost en- 

 tirely of iron oxide; scum contains 

 trace of crude oil. 



The sample of water was taken from 

 a well 200 feet deep. We had nO rea- 

 son to suspect the water until last No- 

 vember. Please give me your opinion 

 as to whether this water, according to 

 the analysis, would be detrimental to 

 vegetation. W. W. T. 



There is nothing in the conditions 

 mentioned which would readily account 

 for the difficulty in growing the plants. 

 It is quite possible, however, that the 

 trouble is to be found in the water, 

 although the analysis as given does not 

 show any impurities likely to cause 

 serious results. The two ingredients 

 most likely to prove injurious are the 

 sodium chloride, or common salt, and 

 the crud*'. oil spoken of as a " trace. ' ' 

 The sodium chloride is stated as .56 

 parts in a million parts, but, judging 

 from the number of grains found in a 

 gallon, it should have been stated as 56 

 parts in a million. However, even this 

 amount is not likely to cause much 

 trouble. While the crude oil is re- 

 ported as only a trace, it is possible, as 

 the oil quickly rises to the surface, that 

 care was not taken to get a fair sam- 

 ple and I would expect to find this to 

 be the cause of the trouble. 



Manhattan, Kan. — Mrs. Carrie Col- 

 lins, proprietor of Collins' Greenhouse, 

 reports business good and increasing 

 steadily. Prices here are low and the 

 problem is how to get stock enough to 

 turn at a small profit. A meeting of 

 three of the florists resulted in a deci- 

 sion to try to gradually establish such 

 prices as would make it profitable to 

 ship in flowers. 



Cobleskill, N. Y.— Alfred Goldring is 

 of the opinion that the calla is the 

 most profitable lily to grow, as it seems 

 to have outgrown the disease from 

 which the Japanese as well as the Ber- 

 muda stock now suffers. Spirseas car- 

 ried over and planted out are forcing 

 better than newly imported stock. Mr. 

 Goldring has a hobby for raising seed- 

 lings and is growing a fine stock of 

 an orange scarlet single geranium that 

 is quite popular with his patrons. A 

 double flowering cyclamen is another 

 acquisition.

To 



Pacific Coast 



Florists : 



What stock have you 



for sale to the trade? 

 Is it moving as it should? 

 No? 



Then tell the trade aboni 

 it by using the Pacific Coast 

 Pages of The Review. 



Pacific Coast advertisers al- 

 most invariably report good 

 results. Like this: 



Say I That ad's a humdinger for getting th» 

 business.— Everett Floral Co.. Everett, 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 CamatioD 

 cuttings for next season, as I know The Review 

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

 geles. Cal. 



Please cut out of our advertisement in The Re- 

 view the cyclamen seedlings. We sold all oor 

 surplus cyclamen seedlings as a direct result of 

 our advertisement in your paper.— Spidnne 

 Greenhouses (Inc.), Spokane, Wash. 



We want to say that our last advertisement in 

 The Review brought us orders from both the At- 

 lantic and Pacific coasts. We had, strangely 

 enough, on following days, orders from Salem, 

 Ore., and from Salem, Mms.— 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 refnsed 

 many orders. The Review surely gives results.
