The Rorists' Review 



OCTOBUU 12, 1916.> 



prohibited by quarantine, on account 

 of the presence in those countries and 

 islands of a serious plant disease known 

 as potato wart or black scab. The fol- 

 lowing countries, in which this disease 

 is not known to occur and which have 

 <;omplied with the regulations of the 

 United States requiring examination 

 and certification prior to shipment, 

 have the privilege of exporting pota- 

 toes to this country, namely, Denmark, 

 Belgium, Holland, Bermuda, Cuba and 

 the Dominion of Canada. 



Potatoes can' be imported only under 

 permit issued by the Federal Horticul- 

 tural Board, U. S. Department of Agri- 

 culture, Washington, D. C. Permits are 

 issued to the importers in the United 

 States, and not to the foreign shippers. 



MOTT-LY GLEANINaS. 



Jacob J. Sluis, of the Sluis Seed 

 Store, of Chicago, recently returned 

 from an extended visit to Holland and 

 Denmark. He was much impressed 

 with the great prosperity being enjoyed 

 in these countries. A reduction in 

 acreage will result in much less flower 

 and vegetable seeds, it being found 

 more profitable to grow cereals af this 

 time. "The cheaper varieties of bulbs 

 will be dearer and the higher-priced 

 kinds scarcer," said Mr. Sluis, who is 

 much pleased with the volume of busi- 

 ness done during his absence. 



James Currie, of the Currie Bros. Co., 

 of Milwaukee, says that the banquet 

 speech of the newly elected president 

 of the Vegetable Growers' Association 

 of America was a banner one, particu- 

 larly the advocacy of a vegetarian din- 

 ner at the next annual gathering at 

 Springfield, Mass., where, at this early 

 stage, plans are being formed. 



The G. H. Hunkel Co., of Milwaukee, 

 has no fault to find with business. 

 •"Seed time and harvest will not fail," 

 observed George Hunkel, stopping in 

 the act of counting some plump seed 

 of cyclamen, "and it will make us 

 more self-dependent. ' * 



0. Machholz, of Milwaukee, says that 

 if business continues to increase as it 

 has been doin^ his building, will not 

 stand the straiii and a new one will 

 have to' take its place. 



W. E. Dallwig, of Milwaukee, has the 

 business running smoothly, loUowing 

 the . departure of its worthy founder, 

 and looks for & continuance of pros- 

 perity. 



Melzer's Seed Store, of Watertown, 

 Wis., is receiving a choice grade of 

 native-grown clover seed. 



Manager Norman B. Buckley, of thg 

 L. li. Olds Seed Co., of Madison, Wis., 

 expressed himself as being highly in- 

 terested in The Review's exploitations 

 of florists' store windows. "Do you 

 know," exclaimed Mr. Buckley, "that 

 one of the most attractive windows can 

 be made in seeds or bulbs f Witness the 

 result of our efforts for 'special 

 week.' " It was an arrangement by 

 ^which every popular kind of garden 

 and field seed is displayed, each labeled, 

 with the product flanking the sides and 

 background. Business is reported as 

 being tiptop. 



The John A. Salzer Seed Co., La 

 Orosse, Wis., expects soon to open a 

 retail store in the center of town to 

 keep in touch with the onward march 

 of focal trade. Mail order business is 

 reported as being fully up to usual, 

 with a fine harvest of seed and cereals 

 through this region. W. M.
