The Weekly Florists' Review.

The regular meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society was held 

 on the evening of May 29. 



Hugh Dickson, accompanied by W. 

 Atlee Burpee, of Philadelphia, was in 

 town last week. They expected to visit 

 the seed growing districts within a few 

 days. G. 



ADIANTUM FOR OUTTINa. 



[Ooncladed from pace 12.1 



In a week or two after germination 

 the tiny fronds appear and, with ordi- 

 nary care, the young plants are now 

 safe. It is a remarkable fact in con- 

 nection with raising seedling ferns, 

 that in almost every instance other 

 species than that sown are sure to crop 

 up in larger or smaller quantities. A 

 frequent "rogue" in batches of seed- 

 lings is the well known Pteris tremula, 

 and there are several gymnogrammes 

 that almost always turn up. But it is 

 impossible to detect them in the earli- 

 est stages, so the adiantum grower pots 

 all up, and later, when the species can 

 be determined, he throws away the 

 rogues or uses them for other purposes. 

 The small stock should be lifted in 

 patches about as big as a quarter, and 

 either potted separately or pricked off 

 into other flats, to be potted later. 



Keep up a shady, moist atmosphere 

 and avoid overwatering the soil — that 

 is the best rule to follow in growing 

 the young stock on. 



Bepotting or Benching. 



When the 2-inch sized pot has been 

 reached and is well filled with roots, the 

 plants are fit to be potted into 5-inch 

 for pot culture, or to be planted in 

 benches. A good rule is never to repot 

 or plant out a maidenhair fern while it 

 is at rest. If stock has been selected 

 for either purpose, let the young fronds 

 push up a couple of inches. Then the 

 roots will also be active and the plants 

 will not be checked, but will come 

 away freely from the start. 



Where the demand for the cut fronds 

 is more or less constant, the usual cus- 

 tom is to go over the plants and re- 

 move the best fronds as they mature, 

 but where it can be arranged it is a 

 better plan, culturally, to cut over a 

 plant entirely and select the fronds, 

 grading them into the various sizes or 

 qualities. Always cut one day for ship- 

 ping the next day, and wrap the fronds 

 in wet paper, standing the stems in 

 water in a cool cellar or cut flower 

 room. 



NAME OF FERN. 



We are enclosing samples of a pecu- 

 liar fern, of which we should like to 

 know the name. It is found in only 

 one place in this section of Oregon. It 

 grows about six feet high. The pieces 

 enclosed are numbered 1, 2 and 3. No. 

 1 is the tip; No. 2 grows on the side, 

 halfway down, and No. 3 near the bot- 

 tom of the main stalk. M. & F. 



The fern in question is a woodwardia, 

 probably the form of Woodwardia rad- 

 icans that is found in parts of Cali- 

 fornia and Mexico. W. H. T.

Nashua, N. H.— Geo. W. Coburn & 

 Son note a steady increase in their 

 plant trade, the present season having 

 been especially good.
