I note that it has been said of Lutzi that it is a great bloomer, and that the blooms add greatly to its beauty. Hatcheri as I grow it is a free bloomer, but the flow- ers, being small and frail, add no value to it whatever. I grow asparagus for the trade, and I find that Hatcheri takes well, but not because of its blooms. Hatcheri is a great producer, does not require the heat that plumosus does (this is also claimed of Lutzi), and because of its fluffiness and denser appearance, hides flower stems and wires better than does plumosus. Flo- rists like it. I should like to hear from others about the similarity of Hatcheri and Lutzi. Have not the Germans put one over on us by renaming our plant? S. C. Templin. ABUSE OF FUNEBAIi FLOWEBS. May I use your valuable paper to offer a protest as to the handling of funeral flowers by undertakers, and, I regret to say, by some florists, when they are taken from house or church after a funeral service? The usual practice is to throw them promiscuously into a vehicle, helter-skelter, as quickly as possible, so that they will occupy as small a space as possible. The feeling seems to be that the show is over, the florist has done his work, and the un- dertaker is in a hurry to complete his part. Does the florist ever stop to consider the feelings of the mourners who have sent the flowers? Some of them fre- quently see the way their offerings are treated. Does the florist ever take a moment to consider the effect it is likely to have upon people who have sent, or would send, floral tributes to the dead when, they see costly flowers treated like so much rubbish the moment they have served their purpose? Is it good business to show so
