is one of the 

 most satisfactory 

 flowers grown, 

 because it blooms 

 continuou sly 

 when it is cut 

 put in water, just as well as 



when in the ground.

 family cannot enjoy this grand flower, 

 for the simple reason that it is as 

 easy to grow as the potato.

 July to frost, if you plant a few bulbs 

 each month from April to July.

can hope to obtain and retain such markets. 

 It it were only local markets that we had to 

 rely upon, differences of opinion between 

 shippers and consignees, Mr. Baxter stated, 

 could be easily adjusted; but If we would 

 grow and occupy any place commercially 

 among the nations of the world we must 

 look farther afleld. To this end the stan- 

 dardization of our products and proper in- 

 spection service have proved, he stated, to 

 be essential. Such regulations should be 

 national rather than provincial, as is indi- 

 cated by the experience of our neighbors to 

 the south, who have different grading laws 

 In different states, which sometimes conflict 

 one with another. These laws are also 

 liable to fresuent change, causing endless 

 confusion. One difficulty we have to over- 

 come is the wide expanse of our producing 

 area, the difference in climatic conditions, 

 and in the nature of our products. However, 

 it has been demonstrated that minimum 

 standards can be established which, while 

 working no hardship on the producer, 

 stimulate him to improve the quality of his 

 product, from which should follow better 

 and more assured returns. 



To Boost Grape Trade 



AT a conference held at Buffalo, on 

 March 28, under the auspices of the 

 New York State Farm Bureau, Fredera- 

 tlon, R. J. Montgomery, manager of the 

 Niagara District Grape Growers, Ltd., jvas 

 chosen as chairman of a committee to in- 

 vestigate the advisability of establishing a 

 central selling agency and a co-operative 

 advertising campaign for the Concord Grape 

 Belt, including New York, Pennsylvania, 

 Ohio, Michigan and Ontario. 



A realization that the establishment of a 

 central association is the necessary founda- 

 tion to the stimulation of grape consump- 

 tion, through the medium of advertising 

 campaigns and centralized selling agencies, 

 resulted in the unanimous adoption of a 

 resolution that a central association be 

 created. A committee of seven was ap- 

 pointed with power to act in perfecting 

 plans for the formation of the organization. 

 Because of the multiplicity of details it is 

 expected that it will take a few months be- 

 fore the organization is completed. 



The committee includes R. J. Montgomery, 

 St. Catharines, chairman; PYank T. Cupp, 

 Saint Joseph, Mich.; Fred Johnson, West-
