. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. PARTIAL VIEW OF JOHN L. WYLAND S RANGES, DE HAVEN, PA. tion, a half bench of Liberty which look, in that phrase so familiar to growers, "on the ; Mr. Bloy has decided to cut this variety off the list as he finds it impossible to get satisfactory results from it. The American Beauty could not very well be in better condition. The crop for Christmas came in just on time and averaged between two and three long stemmed flowers to the plant. They are entirely free from black spot and "feathered" to the bottom. The Bride Bridesmaid are in equally good condition, especially the grafted stock which has averaged fifteen good blooms to the plant since the first of October. Meteor, of which two houses are grown, has pro- duced in the same period sixteen blooms to the plant. One house entirely filled with poinsettias was in grand shape. Another planted to sweet peas gave evi- dence of producing an abundance of blooms in the near future, the first lot of about 1,000 being cut for Christmas. Propagating is now under full swing and judging from the quality of stock being propagated the outlook for good mate- rial for next season is good. A new boiler of 1-tO horse power was installed last fall to assist in the heating. The whole place is a model of neatness and reflects a great deal of credit on the excel- lent management of Mr. Bloy. The four illustrations accompanying this are from photographs taken Decem- ber 30, 1903. The house of American Beauty roses was photographed after a cut of nearly 1500 blooms during the month. In the house of Lawson carna- tions, 525 blooms were picked the same day. The boy in the house of White Cloud is a coming gardener, and is a son of Mr. Bloy. The average height of the plants of grafted Bride and Bridesmaid roses is four feet. I. K. John L. Wyland, De Haven, Pa. No one ever visits the plant of John L.
