I read with much interest your criti- cism of our St. Valentine's day adver- tisement, which was reproduced in The Review of February 24, and I must say that your point is well taken, but we had the same point in mind before the advertisement was inserted. If the ad- vertisement appeared in the large cities of the country, such as New "iork, Chicago and Philadelphia, we would need the word ' * flowers'' in the ad, but in a city of 125,000, Albany, I am of the opinion that in this case it was un- necessary. Moreover, we could not put the word in without spoiling the ap- pearance of the entire ad.

I am pleased that you criticised our ad rather than praised it, because in future advertising we can guard against any- thing of this kind if we think it neces- sary. William Gloeckner. HOW HAYS GEOWS CANNAS. Last year I purchased my cauna bulbs divided, but this year I bought them in clumps and intend to divide them at the end of March or April 1. When dividing canna clumps, if any of the roots are turning brown on the inside, it is a sure sign that they will rot. It is best to have not less than two eyes to each root, for these will produce stronger plants. Under my top bench I make another bench, using 4- inch boards for the sides and ends. I fill the bench with dry sand and set the cannas in it. I do not water them for several days, and if some of the roots are too wet or damp, the sand will dry them, thus avoiding decay. The cannas have sufficient light under the top bench and do not dry out as they would if exposed to the sun's rays. It is wonderful how rapidly they grow in the sand, making fine stalks and leaves, the latter frequently meas-
