YELLOW MABGUEBITES. 



Will you please tell me how to grow 

 yellow daisies? I am going to put in 

 one house of them next year. I have 

 ordered the cuttings, but I do not know 

 how to treat them. Do you grow them 

 in pots until you plant them in beds, or 

 do you plant them out in the field f 

 Anything you can tell me of their cul- 

 ture I shall be glad to know. C. A. 



You can either carry the marguerites 

 in pots over summer or plant them out. 

 I find a good plan is to sink the pots 

 overhead to permit of the plants mak- 

 ing roots above and below them, and 

 to keep them where in dry weather an 

 occasional watering can be given. If 

 kept in pots a good ball of roots is pos- 

 sible, while if planted out practically 

 no ball can be had. Some growers 

 carry the old plants over from year to 

 yeat in pots, standing these on beds 

 where they are allowed to root through, 

 and have good success. Others plant 

 in shallow benches or boxes and get a 

 good winter crop. Still others propa- 

 gate in late summer and plant in solid 

 beds. 



For midwinter flowering, plants must 

 have the roots restricted and pots or 

 narrow benches are best to use. If, 

 on the other hand, flowers are not 

 wanted until from late spring until the 

 end of June, set them in solid beds. 

 The more the roots are cramped, the 

 earlier they will flower; the greater the 

 amount of root room, the later they will 

 come into crop. C. W. 



TompklnsviUe, N. Y.— The flower busi- 

 ness of Charles Boehe, on the Rich- 

 niond turnpike, has been purchased by 

 August Kohlman, son of the former 

 park commissioner. John D. Kohlman. 

 The senior Mr. Kohlman has been able 

 to give his son much valuable aid in the 

 selection of stock for the business and 

 has also secured the contract, it is said, 

 for the laying out and planting of 

 Tompkinsville park. 



. BOSTON NOTES. 



[Concluded from page 3H.] 



sanguine expectations, being cleaned 

 out on practically everything salable. 



George W. Ayer, of Beading, had a 

 fine crop of both double and single vio- 

 lets last week. In carnations his Beacon 

 and White Wonder leave little to be 

 desired. 



It would be hard to find finer Beacon 

 carnations than A. P. Capers, of Welles- 

 ley, is sending in from plants two years 

 old. In addition to carnations, he has 

 a fine crop of myosotis. 



Thomas A. Cox, of Dorchester, and 

 W. T. Walke, of Salem, were heavy 

 shippers of well grown and flowered 

 ramblers to the Boston Cooperative 

 Market for Easter. All were in demand. 



William A. Eiggs, of Auburndale, 

 states that he had a splendid Easter 

 trade. Pot plants are his specialty and 

 include ramblers, azaleas, lilies, acacias 

 and hydrangeas. 



The Boston Plower Exchange, roomy 

 as it is, was none too large to accommo- 

 date the offerings of plants and flowers 

 for Easter. Pot plant growers can dis- 

 play their productions to much better 

 advantage at the new, as compared with 

 the old Park street market. 



W. Rosenthal, of the Boston Cut 

 Flower Co., says there is no reason to 

 complain of Easter trade. 



James Wheeler had a grand Easter 

 crop of carnations. His pink snap- 

 dragon was fine and he had several 

 thousand yellow marguerites. 



Local nurseries have been busy dig- 

 ging stock for some days, all frost hav- 

 ing been out of the ground since 

 MarchU7. 



W, H. Elliott had a heavy Easter cut 

 of roses. These sold at about normal 

 prices. Christie Miller, Ward, Hilling- 

 don and Richmond were extra good. 

 Some nice, yellow hybrid teas were 

 offered in pots. 



William Patterson, of Wollaston, had 

 a fine Easter trade in bulbous flowers. 

 I saw no finer Victoria narcissi or Mu- 

 rillo tulips than at his stand at the 

 Boston Flower Exchange. 



William Caraher, for the Sutermeister 

 Estate, sold 60,000 bulbous flowers 

 March 22, principally tulips and nar- 

 cissi. 



F. J. Dolansky had excellent Easter 

 sales of both gardenias and cattleyas. 



A. M. Davenport, of Watertown, sold 

 out clean on his well grown ramblers, 

 lilies and genistas. 



R. C. Bridgham reports that he had a 

 fine Easter trade, especially in such 

 plants as ramblers, lilies and azaleas, at 

 his store, 67 Beacon street. At Mr. 

 Bridgham 's Newtonville greenhouses a 

 first-class lot of Easter stock was grown 

 and the cut from his rose houses was 

 excellent. 



F. L. Wheeler, son of James Wheeler, 

 of Natick, and Samuel B. Crombie, late 

 salesman for Mr. Wheeler, who are 

 operating the City Flower Shop in 

 South Framingham, opening the same 

 last October, had an excellent Easter 

 trade and report general business as 

 good. 



James Lister, of Stoneham, sent in a 

 fine lot of ericas for Easter, selling the 

 same at the Boston Cooperative Market. 



Aubrey Pembroke, salesman for his 

 brother, A. A. Pembroke, at the Boston 

 Flower Exchange, is handling thou- 

 sands of superb carnations daily. His 

 Gloriosa, Rosette and Pink Delight are 

 superb. Mr. Pembroke will compete at 

 the coming New York show.

(Ball Bearing — Long Wearing) 



In buying a typewriter you want a 

 latisfactory answer to three questions: 



What Will it do for me? 

 Hob) Well Will it do it? 

 How long Will it do it? 



By answering these queries with the 

 needs of the typewriter owner and user 

 in mind, the L.C. Smith & Bros. Type- 

 writer Company has attained the front 

 rank in the typewriter field.

Andrew Christensen, of Stoneham, 

 still finds the old Queen a profitable 

 variety to grow. He secured $4 per 

 hundred for many of his flowers for 

 Easter, at which price they would net 

 more money than most other sorts at 

 double this price. W. N. Craig. 



Dasrton, 0. — W. P. Click, superintend- 

 ent of the greenhouses of the National 

 Cash Register Co., recently delivered a 

 practical, helpful address at the Rubi- 

 con Club in the N. C. R. extension 

 house, on the subject of gardening.
