BICHMOND, IND. 



Everything is looking well at the 

 establishment of the E. G. Hill Co. In 

 roses approximately 50,000 plants are 

 grown, but the most notable variety 

 here at present is the Pink Kichmond, 

 which has been named Rose Queen. This 

 variety is a seedling and has been 

 grown by the company for the last four 

 years. The color is a pleasing pink. 

 It has a good stem and is said to be a 

 remarkable producer and an excellent 

 keeper. The flowers now being cut are 

 superior to anything else grown at this 

 establishment. Aaron Ward, a yellow, 

 is also showing up well. 



The company is working with a view 

 to propagating 1,000,000 young plants 

 of all the leading varieties, for next 

 spring. In five of the houses several 

 thousand young plants are grown and 

 some 40,000 cuttings are taken every 

 week. In the summer all the cuttings 

 are propagated in frames outdoors, and 

 when one batch is ready to be potted 

 oflp there is another batch ready to be 

 propagated. In this way several men, 

 boys and girls are kept busy all the 

 time in this department. 



Five houses have been built this sum- 

 mer — three for young rose stock, one for 

 propagating and one for grafting and 

 budding. Two large houses are now 

 filled with young plants and they will 

 be kept dormant during the winter and 

 sent out in the early spring. Several 

 thousand ramblers are also grown in 

 the field. 



The E. T. Grave place, which kas 

 been leased by the Hill Co., contains 

 about 50,000 square feet of glass and is 

 being devoted to carnations in a large 

 list of varieties. Several seedlings are 

 also being grown and the most notable 

 variety at present is Beckwith, a large 

 red. It will be sent out this season. 

 No. Ill is another good red which will 

 be sent out sometime in the future. 



The firm is growing this season some 

 50,000 chrysanthemums of about 200 

 varieties, including all the standard 

 sorts, besides several seedlings and 

 novelties of the last few seasons. The 

 mums here always rank with the best 

 at the numerous shows all over this 

 country. The single and pompon vari- 

 eties are also largely grown, and they 

 are, as usual, a picture of health. 



Cannas, coleus, geraniums, ferns, 

 fuchsias, heliotropes, lantanas and soft- 

 wooded bedding stock are grown by the 

 thousands and the propagating season is 

 now on. Thousands of peonies are also 

 being dug and shipped. The new 

 Hydrangea arborescens grandiflora alba 

 is in great demand. 



Besides adding five houses during the 

 summer, as already stated, the firm has 

 installed a large new boiler, 



Joe Hill is the manager and about 

 sixty-five men, boys and girls are em- 

 ployed the year around. 



DISEASED OABDENIA FOLIAGE. 



You will find enclosed a few gardenia 

 leaves, which I have sent for your in- 

 spection. Can you give me any informa- 

 tion as to how I can get rid of the dis- 

 eased foliage on some of the gardenia 

 plants, which are grown in benches in a 

 temperature of about 81 degrees at 

 night? No heat is used at present; 

 there is sufiicient natural heat. 



M, L. 



It is not uncommon to find, at the 

 bottoms of the shoots, a few leaves simi- 

 lar to those forwarded, especially if the 

 plants are being grown close together 

 or are heavily foliaged. If you have 

 not tied up the plants at all,, use ono 

 stout stake to the center of each and 

 tie up any shoots which are sprawly. 

 This will let the sun strike the soil and 

 dry it out better. It will also permit 

 more thorough spraying of the plants. 

 Avoid overwatering. The beds should 

 dry out well between waterings. Keep 

 the surface scratched over. If your 

 minimum temperature is as high as 81 

 degrees, j'ou certainly have all the heat 

 tbe gardenias need; 65 degrees is a 

 good winter minimum. Leave some air 

 on all night when the temperature is 75 

 degrees or over. C. \V. 



Peoria, 111. — Jas. C. Murray, the Ful- 

 ton street florist, has recently been vis- 

 ited by his brother, Rev. John Murray, 

 who has had a long experience as a 

 missionary in China and was one of the 

 refugees in the Boxer uprising. While 

 here. Rev. Murray delivered, at the 

 First Presbyterian church, a most inter- 

 esting lecture on "Educational and 

 Political Life in China." 



Oloversvllle, N. Y, — Richard E. Loo- 

 ben, the North Main street florist, fur- 

 nished the decorations for the Murray- 

 Schrum wedding, at the bride's home 

 on Broad street. Besides cut flowers, 

 autumn foliage and palms were largely 

 used.
