BACK TO THE STONE AGE. 



A rumor comes from Washington 

 that the War Board is to put an em- 

 bargo on the buying or selling of flow- 

 ers. We don't believe it. This idea 

 is sillier than the "crazy hysterics" 

 which resulted in the digging up of ex- 

 pensive lawns and pleasure grounds for 

 potato patches. Why not as well put 

 an embargo on barbers? We could all 

 shave at home and save money. And 

 so on ad. fin ! we could get along with- 

 out collars and cuffs and neckties and 

 use nails for buttons. And newspapers 

 are an expense and mostly a waste o£ 

 time. So are the clergy, and the pro- 

 fessors, and the congressmen. Let us 

 embargo everything — and go bacK lo 

 the stone age! 



The glass men. the iron men, the 

 builders and all the multitude of sub- 

 sidiary interest would of course be 

 ruined by such a stoppage of a staple 

 industry and there would be a crop of 

 bust-ups in the horticultural world 

 such as never before has been known. 

 When you ruin a basic proposition like 

 Agriculture, Horticulture, Arboriculture 

 and all that flows from them you strike 

 the mortal blow to modern civilization.

CLEVELAND. 



Cleveland is becoming quite a center 

 for willow baskets since the supply 

 was cut off from Germany. W. Q. Pot- 

 ter Co., have begun their manufacture. 



A. C. Kendel, secretary treasurer of 

 the Seed Trade Association, while in 

 New York visited the docks at 

 Hoboken and saw something like 

 ten acres of warehouse space piled 

 high with bulbs and the shipping 

 facilities practically swamped. To add 

 to the situation traffic conditions be- 

 tween New York and Cleveland are 

 such that shipments are not expected 

 for several weeks after they are ship- 

 ped. 



Shipments of Christmas roping are 

 beginning to arrive. Since the trade 

 in this material has been cut off from 

 Germany, Japan has taken a leading
