A beautiful showy McCray bnllt-to-order of quartered 



oak with beveled mirror and {galvanized Iron 



drawers beneath for mosses, etc. 



A Successful Florist 



whose stock is always fresh, fragrant and attractive, always uses a 

 McCray Refrigerator. McCray Refrigerators have the proper system 

 of cold air circulation, which is so strong and steady that there can be 

 no stagnant air or dampness in a McCray Refrigerator. Less ice is 

 used than in any other kind of refrigerator, and this results in a 

 saving which pays for the McCray itself.

 most beautiful manner, and are lined with white enamel, opal glass, 

 tile, mirrors or white marble, as you desire.

 are made in regular sizes for immediate shipment, or are built to 

 order for any requirement.

BEDDING PLANTS. 



How may one best obtain stock for 

 gradually working up a wholesale trade 

 in rooted cuttings, principally of bed- 

 ding plants t What is the best method 

 of getting a mucky soil, now very wet 

 and sour, into suitable condition for 



greenhouse workf

 A. B. B. 



Secure rooted cuttings of varieties you 

 can sell the best. The present is a suit- 

 able time to order these from some of 

 the many specialists in this line who use 

 the Review's advertising columns. Pot 

 off and grow along such plants as you 

 may purpose specializing in. Gradually 

 harden oflf and plant out in nursery rows 

 when danger from frost has gone. In 

 the case of geraniums, which are always 

 in strong demand, if you will devote a 

 bench or portion of a bench to your 

 •tock plants, planting them out, you will 

 get a constant crop of cuttings. The 

 bulk of the regular bedding plants will 

 give plenty of cuttings if a number of 

 old plants are lifted each fall for stock, 

 or flats of cuttings are taken in good 

 season, the more tender sorts, such as 

 coleus, achyranthes and altemanthera, 

 being put in first. Plant out your cannas 

 in rich ground and they will make big 

 clumps, which will give you quantities of 

 eyes for cuttings. 



A muck soil and a leaf soil are not 

 identical. As your land is sour and wet, 

 it will probably be most improved by tile 

 draining. Apply agricultural lime in 

 the fall, at the rate of 1,000 pounds per 

 acre. This tends to take acidity out of 

 the soil. Do not use lime with your ma- 

 nure, as this lets loose too much nitro-
