The demand for bedding stock is 

 extremely good though the usual diffi- 

 culty of getting geraniums into bloom 

 for Memorial Day is being experi- 

 enced. This is largely due to the fact 

 that houses were kept so cold to con- 

 serve coal in the winter and spring 

 that the stock was retarded. It has 

 also reduced the supply, for some 

 growers closed up a part of their 

 range. A special shortage is noted 

 in Beaute Poitevine, the salmon pink. 

 S. A. Nutt, the favorite dark red, 

 seems in good supply but much of it 

 is not in bloom. Other bedding stock 

 as salvias, verbenas, petunias, etc., ap- 

 pears to be equal to any normal de- 

 mand. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Brooklaiid Flower Show has 

 been called off. Weather condition'* 

 make it impossible to produce roses 

 worthy of show purposes. 



Retail florists are to be invited lo 

 join the recently formed Advertising 

 Club of Washington. The object of 

 the club is to promote friendliness be- 

 tween buyers and sellers of advertis- 

 ing space, study and analysis of ad- 

 vertising, truth and accuracy, ap well 

 as economy in publicity methods and 

 mediums. 



Two more of our boys are off to pa"- 

 ticipate in the game "Hunting and

 the Marines and goes to Paris Island, 

 S. C, for ten weeks of training with 



an opportunity of getting into the 

 ofBcers' training camp at Quantico, 

 Va., opening August 15. R. Clyde 

 Sauer of Shaffer's has gone to Camp 

 Dix, N. J., for army service. 



The War Trade Board announces 

 that American exporters of shrubs 

 and flower seeds, except seeds of oil 

 bearing plants, may ship their prod- 

 ucts to Denmark proper, the Board 

 deciding to consider applications for 

 export under conditions similar to 

 those incident to a like trade with 

 Sweden and European Holland. Be- 

 fore shipment can be made, however, 

 it is necessary for the importer in 

 Denmark to secure an import certifi- 

 cate from the Danish Merchants' 

 Guild. Licenses will be valid for ship- 

 ment only on vessels flying the Danish 

 flag.
