NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y. 



The thousand or more florists who at- 

 tended the convention here in August will 

 be interested in knowing that the ice has 

 jammed in the gorge until the water in 

 the river is over forty feet higher than 

 it was at the time of the convention. The 

 Gorge Route electric railroad is piled 

 fifteen feet high with ice. The power 

 house of the Ontario Power Co., which 

 was inspected by the visiting florists, has 

 been put out of commission by the high 

 water, which backed up untU it flooded 

 the lower floor, where the big engines 

 are, stopping the machinery and cutting 

 off the power of a large number of street 

 railways and factories on the New York 

 side. 



COWSLIPS FOR EASTER. 



"When is the proper time to plant cow- 

 slips in coldframes for Easter? L. G. 



You do not state whether you mean 

 the so-called American cowslip or marsh 

 marigold, Caltha palustris, or the com- 

 mon English cowslip. Primula veris. If 

 the former is wanted, the roots should be 

 planted in the frame in late fall. If 

 kept well watered, they will flower in 

 time for Easter, provided it does not 

 fall any earlier than April 10. The Eng- 

 lish cowslip shpuld be raised from seed 

 sown in early spring, the seedlings 

 planted out in the field in May, kept well 

 cultivated, planted in frames in October, 

 covered with dry leaves when frozen and 

 uncovered the middle of March, when 

 they will flower for an ordinary Easter. 

 Of course, the date of Easter and climatic 

 conditions must be taken into considera- 

 tion, C. W. 



IN GOVERNMENT GREENHOUSES. 



In the range of houses at the govern- 

 ment's Arlington Experimental Farm at 

 Washington, in the last year, one house 

 has been devoted to a study of the mer- 

 its of blind versus flowering wood cut- 

 tings in rose growing; one house and 

 a half to fertilizer studies in carnation 

 growing; one-half house to a variety 

 study of forcing types of radishes, and 

 two houses to the study of greenhouse 

 physics, lettuce being used as the inter- 

 preting crop. Two more houses are now 

 under construction, which, when com- 

 pleted, will make eight of the ten houses
