Mr. Herr has given us in a recent issue, what I consider a very comprehensive review of the behavior of a good list of varieties, agreeing with my experience in essential points and rendering any elab- oration on my part superfluous. Bench culture and lightest possible houses would have brought out, in some varieties, meritorious points which are suppressed by culture on solid beds and deficient light during darkest months in houses running north and south. Dis- connected houses running east and west allow of a more liberal application of fertilizers and the season is more com- pletely covered with a succession of bloom, especially by varieties inclined to stand still in dark weather. A slightly higher temperature is also permissible in houses having a maximum of exposure to the sun. The past season has been a precarious one, but bank balances compare favor- ably with former years, in many cases even exceeding all former records. The uncertain coal supply and high e.\press charges have not tended to reduce the anxiety of the grower, but the high state of prosperity enjoyed, at least by those who are considered the mainstay of the florists' patronage, has resulted in a general satisfaction on the part of carna- tion men. May the coming season be as prosperous and carry fewer anxieties with it. J. Chicago. STOCK MORE THAN rLENTIFUI,.—PRICES DECLINING. — SHIPPING TRADE STILL GOOD.—RETAIL NEWS.—GENERAL NOTES. —VISITORS.
