A Successful Florist 



whoso 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. 



TVCcOay l^rigerators 



give your shop a look of elegance. They are made and finished in the 

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

 tile, mirrors or white marble, as you desire. 



McCray Refrigerators are guaranteed to give satisfaction, and 

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

 oi'der for any requirement.

BEDDING PLANTS. 



How may one best obtain stock for 

 gradually Morkiug up a uholosale trade 

 in rooted cuttings, principally of bed- 

 ding plants? What is the best method 

 of getting a mucky soil, now very wet 

 and sour, into suitable condition for 

 greenhouse work? Are leaf-mold and 

 muck identical? A. B. R. 



Secure rooted cuttings of varieties you. 

 can sell the }>est. The present is a suit- 

 able time to oriler thesf I'toiii some of 

 the many specialists in this line who use 

 the Eeview's advertising columns. Pot 

 off ami grow tilong such ]ilants as you 

 may purj^ose specializing iit. (uadually 

 harden oil' and plant out in nursery rows 

 when danger from frost has gone. In 

 the case of geraniums, which are always 

 in strong ilemand, if you will devote a 

 bench or portion of a lionch to your 

 stock plants, planting tliei7i out. you will 

 get a constant crop of cuttings. The 

 bulk of the rogidar Ijcdding jdants will 

 give plenty of cuttings if a inimber of 

 old plants are lifted each fall for stock, 

 or fiats of cuttings are taken in good 

 season, the more tendc^r sorts, such as 

 coleus, aehyranthes and allernanthera, 

 being put in first. Phint out your cannas 

 in rich ground and they will make big 

 clumps, which will give you quantities of 

 eyes for cnttini:?. 



A muck >oil and a leaf soil are not 

 identical. As your land is sour and wet, 

 it will proli.-ilily lio niosr im[iro\oil by tile 

 draining. Apply agricultural lime in 

 the fall, at the rate of 1.000 ponnds per 

 acre. This tends to take acidity out of 

 the soil. J)o iiol u^e lime \\ith your ma- 

 nure, as this Jets loose too much nitro-
