The Weekly Florists' Review. 



OCTOBBB 26, 1911. 



19, 20 and 21, in Norman hall. Hotel 

 Fairmount, San Francisco. 



A. M. Eaton, the Woodland, Cal.,. 

 nurseryman, is in town for a few days. 



Domoto Bros, are building an exhibi- 

 tion plant house, 33x236 feet, at their 

 Elmhurst establishment. 



All reports point to a heavy crop of 

 outside grown poinsettias for the com- 

 ing winter trade. 



The regular meeting of the California 

 Betail Florists' Association was held 

 in Eagles' hall, Wednesday evening, 

 October 18. 



The Pacific Coast Horticultural So- 

 ciety is planning an outdoor meeting at 

 the grounds of the MacBorie-McLaren 

 Co. next month.

CUCUMBEBS AND TOMATOES. 



We have one greenhouse, 28x160, 

 which is planted to mums, and after 

 they are gone we will run the house to 

 radishes until late spring, when we ex- 

 pect to plant it to cucumbers, which 

 will be started in 5-inch or 6-inch pots. 

 We also have two houses, one of them 

 28x160 and the other 40x160, which will 

 be used for lettuce during the winter, 

 after which they will be planted to 

 tomatoes for an early summer crop. 

 Will you please give me a little in- 

 formation as to what variety of cu- 

 cumbers will be best suited for such 

 forcing? Please state, also, when the 

 seed should be planted so as to have 

 good, strong plants in 5-inch or 6-inch 

 pots at setting-out time, which will be 

 about April 1. 



I also intend to build a house, 45x100, 

 for growing roses, but will use it for 

 tomatoes or cucumbers this winter, and 

 I had thought of growing them on the 

 ground instead of on raised benches, 

 which will not be built until next 

 spring. I have had a little experience 

 with forcing tomatoes, but none with 

 cucumbers, so I wish to know the easi- 

 est variety of the latter to manage. 

 Any information will be greatly appre- 

 ciated. My location is northern Wyo- 

 ming. L. M. B. 



The Davis Perfect forcing cucumber 

 is giving satisfaction with a great many 

 cucumber growers. It is a long variety, 

 prolific, and easy to grow. The best 

 strains of Improved White Spine are, 

 however, more prolific, although harder 

 to grow; that is, they require careful 

 attention on the part of the grower. 

 All seedsmen have their special name 

 for their best strain of Improved White 

 Spine forcing cucumber. The Boston 

 type of Improved Arlington White 

 Spine forcing -is grown more than all 

 others, and is probably the best money- 

 maker. 



In the spring you will find solid beds 

 as good as raised beds, or better, for 

 vegetables. Spade in a good coat of 

 manure and plant your cuke seed five 

 weeks before your plants are wanted, 

 ^ ready to bench from 5-inch and 6-inch 

 pots. H. G.
