The Florists' Review 



Fbbbuabx 10, 1916. 



chased the interests of his brothers and 

 since has been sole owner. 



The recently organized Idaho Seed 

 Growers' Association convened in annual 

 session at Caldwell, Idaho, January 26 to 

 28. Interesting papers and discussions 

 on seed production, grains and farming 

 were given by specialists in these lines. 



The trade is experiencing great diffi- 

 culty in getting European flower seeds 

 and herbs. This is causing no end of 

 delay and inconvenience in getting out 

 orders, according to A. H. Smith, of the 

 Leonard Seed Co., Chicago. J. C. Leon- 

 ard left February 4 to arrange the com- 

 pany's exhibit at the convention of the 

 National Canners' Association at Louis- 

 ville, Ky., February 7 to 11. S. F. Leon- 

 ard and others followed February 6. 



CUCUMBERS IN MICHIQAN. 



An inquiry relative to the acreage, 



yield and total production of cucumbers 



grown for pickling in Michigan haa 



just been completed. This is the first 



comprehensive survey of the cucumber 



acreage in Michigan since the census 



of 1909, when the total acreage under 



cucumbers for the United States was 



given at 32,310, and the acreage for the 



state at 7,061. A statement in detail 



follows : 



Acreage in Michigan in 1915 34,260 



Number of salting stations 306 



Average acreage per saltlne station 112 



Yield per acre in 1915, bushels 34.6 



Average yield per acre during last five years 68.2 



HOETICULTUBAL IMPORTS. 



With the bulk of the horticultural 

 imports from Europe coming via Eot- 

 terdam this year, it is a matter of im- 

 portance that the service between Rot- 

 terdam and New York is extremely 

 erratic. There are long stretches be- 

 tween arrivals. Two steamers, the Rot- 

 terdam and the Noordam, arrived Janu- 

 ary 31 with these trade consignments, 

 according to the manifests filed at the 

 New York customhouse:

 cases bulbs.

TRADE CONDITIONS IN HOLLAND. 



The following from a British trade 

 paper refers to the conditions in the 

 trade in Holland early in January: 



"In looking backward at the end of 

 this, what we may justly call the ter- 

 rible year of 191,5, it cannot be denied 

 that after all bulb growers have done 

 much better than was at first an- 

 ticipated. Of course prices have been 

 low, and are at present considerably be- 

 low the cost of production, but the de- 

 mand and consequent trade have been 

 far better than last year, and in the 

 face of the unusual circumstances which 

 have cut off all cut flower trade between 

 the central and northern countries, bulb- 

 ous flowers are in much better demand
