. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 56 The American Florist, Aug. 6, irunn'USf iuuuIhts ami may bi- t-i'on in all sizes from small ones just planted out on benches to thicken out a little iind make good stock lor potting later to immense specimens in large pots just ready for sale for decorative and simi- lar work. Besides the Bostons there are numbers of Whitmani and other forms of nephrolepis and thousands of seedling ferns of the usual market kinds. Pteris AVimsetti and Aspleni- ums are largely grown, the stock jiumbering hundreds of thousands. Asparagus plumosus in small pots is also a leading feature. Although, of course, not making any great show at this time of year cycla- mens are one of Mr. Oechslin's special- ties and it would be difllcult to find a more promising lot of plants anywhere. The foliage is clean and good, stock sown in September being now in -i-inch pots and, apparently, about ready for a shift into the flowering size. Owing to the great heat and continued drought there has been considerable trouble In keeping the outdoor stock growing and many of the geraniums though looking healthy and clean are only now commencing to grow. But they will come rapidly now and as a big stock was planted out there is every prospect of a fine lot of cuttings. A fine batch of Celosia pyramidalis was noted, the plants strong and tine in color. These will be potted at once and they will make elegant stock for store decoration during a slack time for flowering plants. In a span roofed house on the south side of the plant where they get every ray of sunshine possible are fine lots of Pandanus Veitchii and various crotons. There are large and small plants in plenty and all have the same fine color in the foliage and excellent health. The house suits them admir- ably and they are certainly finely grown. In the smaller dracoenas we noted elegant little stock of T>. San- deriana and D. Godseffiana, just right for furnishing
