Qub Meeting. 



THe monthly meeting of ^le Florists' 



Club was held May 3. Antoine Wintzer, 



of jVest Grove, was the speaker of the 



evening. His address appears elsewhere 



|-4n this issue. 



Exhibits came from Eobert Scott & 

 Son, who showfd Duke of Wellington; 

 from Charles E. Meehan, who staged 

 Niphetos and Perle; from H. W. Collins, 

 of Doylestown, who brought Sunrise; 

 from Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, 

 who showed three climbing roses, Amer- 

 ican Pillar being prominent. 



The Cocos at Riverton. 



Interest in hardy perennials is so keen 

 just now that it requires courage to talk 

 about anything else; yet there is at least 

 one tropical plant of such world-wide 

 fame that it vies with the hardy peren- 

 nials, even at this, the height of their 

 season. 



No, it is not the kentia, for kentias 

 are as numerous in Europe as in America. 

 It is Cocos Weddelliana. • 



Ever since the bright, horticultural 

 minds of the Henry A. Dreer corporation, 

 at Riverton, became past-mastCrs in. the 

 art of growing Cocos Weddelliana, the 

 fame of their stock has become world- 

 wide. It was a hard, uphill fight. First 

 came the trouble with seed turning yel- 

 low after transplanting from the flats 

 into pots. That difficulty was passed 

 long ago, when each geed was given a 

 little pot of its own, deep and narrow, 

 so that the roots remained unbroken 

 when shifted. Then came that critical 

 time when the seedlings (perhaps they 

 were in the plant stage) turned yellow. 

 They were apt to do this from different 

 causes; sometimes they grew too fast; 

 sometimes they got "cold feet;" some- 

 times they were starved or badly potted 

 or the soil did not suit. Then came a 

 trick in potting that the Dreers learned; 

 a simple, common-sense method, but a 

 trifle at variance with the- books — that 

 was all. After that came what might be 

 called the danger of prosperity. The 

 plants became so popular that they were 

 exhausted in the smaller sizes as soon as 

 finished and sometimes sooner. A little 

 courage, a little self-denial, and this dan- 

 ger, too, was passed by the^ simple ex- 

 pedient of signs reserving' blocks of
