The Florists' Review 



OCTOBEB 12, 1916. 



the Iowa Seed Dealers' Association 

 and found they had no association or> 

 ganized in South Dakota, and they are 

 interested. Some of them are coming 

 to our next meeting to see how it is 

 done. Minnesota has already copied 

 our constitution and by-laws, and some 

 of them will visit us next year. 



"Everywhere I see evidence of suc- 

 cessful work, intelligent work, special 

 work, and if it does not spell greater 

 success in the future and much larger 

 ' profits, I shall be much disappointed. 

 There is still good timothy in the hands 

 of the growers. If you want it and 

 do not get it, it 's your own fault. Pres- 

 ent timothy prices are like corn at 25 

 cents a bushel. Potatoes are scarce and 

 high, but people must have them. 



"Heavy sales of wheat are reported 

 by some, but don't carry it over. Eus- 

 sia has two crops on hand, bottled. 

 When they get an opportunity to 

 cut loose, prices on wheat will decline. 

 The south is hit hard on corn. Most 

 of Iowa is all right. Alfalfa is easier 

 and the quality is better than usual. 

 New crop is available now. I could 

 tell you where you could buy below 14 

 cents if you want to know. It may be 

 cheaper, but we never can tell. 



"Clover is unsettled. There are 

 some mighty good fields between here 

 and Des Moines, but not enough to cut 

 much figure on the market. Looks like 

 we could not figure far ahead on that. 



"My address is the same as it was 

 when you last wrote me. I have missed 

 you. How's everythingt Write, even 

 if you don't say anything important. 

 Be neighborly. I'll appreciate it." 



ARE YOU IMPORTINa POTATOES'? 



Seedsmen who contemplate importing 

 potatoes from foreign countries are no- 

 tified by the United States Department 

 of Agriculture that they should give 

 consideration to the regulations regard- 

 ing entry of potatoes to prevent the 

 introduction and establishment of in- 

 jurious diseases and insect pests. The 

 importation of potatoes from Great 

 Britain, including England, Scotland, 

 Ireland and Wales; Germany; Austria- 

 Hungary; Newfoundland, and the 

 islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, is
