The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Febbuabt 16, 1011. 



one instance out of many which I could 

 give: 



"It is wonderful what even one 

 year's acclimation and selection will do, 

 as shown by experiments of the Ontario 

 Agricultural College in Guelph. In the 

 fall of 1906 they selected a few roots 

 of the Yellow Leviathan mangel and 

 brought same through the winter and 

 had a good crop of seeds. When these 

 were planted in 1908 they gave an enor- 

 mous yield of 53.55 tons per acre, 

 whereas the best imported seeds yielded 

 only 39.71 tons per acre."

COLUMBUS, O. 



Tbe Market. 



Trade for Valentine's day was heavy 

 in all lines. A good lot of pot plants 

 were moved, and at good prices. 

 Azaleas, cyclamens, primroses and a 

 nice lot of bulb stock, such as pans of 

 hyacinths, tulips, etc., found ready sale. 

 Among the cut stock violets were about 

 the best seller, and large quantities 

 were disposed of. 



Roses were rather scarce, but carna- 

 tions were much more in evidence than 

 for several weeks and moved as well 

 as usual. Valley, sweet peas, tulips, 

 daffs and narcissi came in for their 

 share of the call. On top of the val- 

 entine rush a big lot of funeral work 

 came in and put everybody on the rush.

The Columbus florists held a general 

 meeting February 7 at the Chittenden 

 hotel, seventy-five being present. It

 ganized by electing the following of- 

 ficers: H. M. Munk, president; J. 

 Underwood, secretary; F. C. Viereck, 

 corresponding secretary; Gus. Acker- 

 man, treasurer. Directors were elected 

 as follows: H. W. Kropp, Paul Hal- 

 brook, C. Roth, 0. Munk, Ormonde

 A guarantee fund was started and has
