the corner of Eighth, gives a long glass 

 exposure there. Keproduced herewith 

 is one of the newspaper advertisements 

 Mr. Chopin has used to call attention 

 to his having branched out, and this 

 is backed up by the distribution of a 

 booklet bearing on the cover the words, 

 "A Few Reasons Why We Should Be 

 Your Family Florists." The booklet 

 contains a few pages of the "reasons" 

 in type and many other pages of hand- 

 some halftones, showing the stores and 

 the things for sale in them. 



MANDA QETS DAMAGES. 



Judge Vail, sitting in the Supreme 

 Court of New Jersey, has directed a 

 verdict for $710 with interest in favor 

 of W. A. Manda, of South Orange, 

 who brought suit against the United 

 States Express Co. for damages to a 

 carload of plants and ferns, shipped 

 nearly two years ago. Evidence in the 

 case showed that March 1, 1911, Mr. 

 Manda shipped a carload of plants by 

 United States express to Boston, where 

 they were to be displayed at the Na- 

 tional Flower Show. It was shown that 

 upon arrival there the plants and ferns, 

 and particularly a large number of 

 orchids, were partly chilled because of 

 delay in delivery. Manda, through his 

 attorneys, Vredenburgh, Wall & Carey, 

 asked $710 damages, and this was what 

 the court awarded him. 



you have not pruned back your plant 

 at all, this would be a suitable time 

 to do so. Cut back last season's shoots 

 to one or two eyes. The strong lat- 

 erals, however, which you may want 

 to cover the building, should be left 

 longer. Continue this pruning each 

 year and it may cause an earlier pro- 

 duction of flower buds — always pro- 

 vided that your variety is not a flow- 

 erless one. C. W. 



WISTARIA NOT FLOWERING. 



Please tell me just why my wistaria 

 vine does not blossom. It is seven 

 years old and has grown nicely each 

 year. It is at the west end of a build- 

 ing and covers about fifteen feet of 

 space. Any information as to why it 

 does not bloom will be thankfully re- 

 ceived. G. P. B. 



There appears to be a flowerless va- 



ANOTHEB CARNATION DEAL. 



A deal was consummated last week 

 whereby the new pink carnation of 

 Thomas Browne, Greenfield, Mich., has 

 been purchased by S. S. Skidelsky & 

 Co., of Philadelphia; the Breitmeyer 

 Floral Co., of Mt. Clemens, Mich.; 

 Philip Breitiheyer and Robert M. Ea- 

 haley, of Detroit. It will be remem- 

 bered that this carnation was exhibited 

 at the rose and carnation show at De- 

 troit last January and was generally 

 commended for its beautiful soft pink 

 color, good stem and general appearance 

 and form of flower. At that time sev- 

 eral prominent eastern growers went 

 out to Mr. Browne's to see it and were 

 impressed by its vigorous growth. Mr. 

 Browne asserted that, besides color and 

 size of bloom, it is remarkably produc- 

 tive and not a cropper. 



It is rumored around Detroit that 

 quite a sum was paid for the variety, 

 a sum running nearly to five figures. 

 It has been decided to name the car- 

 nation after Mr. Skidelsky 's home 

 town, Philadelphia. It will be exhib- 

 ited at all next season's flower shows 

 and disseminated in 1914. 



CULTURE FOR EARLY TULIPS. 



Please state how I should handle 

 tulips after bringing them in from out- 

 doors. The variety is La Eeine and

For the greater convenieuce of many of 

 my customers, I have established another 

 Flower Store, at St. Charles Ave , Corner

The same high standard in floral work 

 and decorations that have won my establish- 

 ment liberal patronage in the past, will be 

 maintained at the new store

riety of wistaria. At any rate, I have 

 seen plants, set out in suitable loca- 

 tions, well treated and properly pruned, 

 which have been growing many years 

 and have never shown a flower. If 



they are in flats and pots. They seem 

 to always stay too short. C. F. B. 



The tulips early in the season, when 

 placed in heat, should not be placed 



directly in the light or the stems are 

 sure to be short. Place them in a case 

 on the bench, or below it, where they 

 can be kept quite dark in order to draw 

 the stems up well. Gradually admit 

 light as the flowers show. Such a case 

 as is used for growing lily of the valley 

 is just the thing for these early tulips.
