The Weekly Florists' Review. 



MARCH 28, 1912. 



SOOROHED FOLIAGE. 



Enclosed you will find a sweet pea 

 leaf. Can you tell us what is the 

 trouble? It has affected the snapdrag- 

 on and geranium leaves, and, in fact, 

 nearly all plants in the greenhouse. 

 We are new at the business. We had 

 grown a crop of lettuce and were told 

 that the ground was all right for our 

 next crop, but it was a failure. We 

 planted it October 12 and some of it 

 is not quite ready now. We have put 

 sulphur on the pipes and watered with 

 nitrate of soda. The sweet peas all 

 seem to be getting affected. F. W, 



Your foliage was badly scorched and 

 this has undoubtedly been caused by 

 the sulphur on the pipes, which has 

 been too strong. Watering with nitrate 

 of soda is likely to be more injurious 

 than beneficial in winter, unless applied 

 in moderate doses and only when the 

 plants really need it. Liquid cow or 

 sheep manure would be much safer to 

 apply, and is better than nitrate of 

 soda for both the peas and snapdragons. 

 Your house should be kept at 48 to 50 

 degrees at night, and if sweet peas and 

 snapdragons are in solid beds they will 

 give better results than when in raised 

 benches. C. W. 



Benton Harbor, Mich. — A. J. Youngs, 

 formerly in business here as a florist 

 and undertaker, has sold the entire 

 establishment to F. H. Martinie. 



New Eochelle, N. Y.— W. S. Hitch- 

 cock, Inc., has sold the greenhouses on 

 Drake avenue, but will retain the store 

 on Main street, purchasing all the 

 needed stock.

Canton-Hutfhes Pump. 



This is the fourth article of a series describing 

 machines used in our factory, which are neces- 

 sary to the production of all high grade pottery. 



The one shown here is known as a Duplex Hy- 

 draulic Pump. It exerts a varying pressure of 

 about 140 lbs. and by its action the semi- liquid 

 clay, as before described, is lifted and carried 

 from a cistern, through a tube to its next place 

 of treatment, which will be described later on 

 these pages. 



A fine illustrated description of the whole 

 scheme will be sent you on request. 



Write for it now. We make Florists' Standard 

 Red Pots. All kinds, all sizes.

 is a thin pot. Our pots are 

 much thinner and tougher 

 than others. It's the quality
