The Florists^ Review 



Febuuauv 1, 1917. 



Sixty kinds of beans and peas are 

 grown in China, but few of these find a 

 place in tlio oxjiort trade. 



The stocks of America gladiolus are 

 believed to lie principally in two hands 

 this season, and prices (pioted earlier in 

 the season have been advanced twenty- 

 five per cent. 



Among those who will have booths at 

 the National Canners' Convention at 

 Cleveland February 5, is the Leonard Seed 

 Co., Chicago, whose exhibit will be in 

 charge of .lohn C. Leonard. 



The seed trade's advortisiiig this sea- 

 Bon will be light, because of the belief 

 that demand wi.l exceed suitp.y, and 

 practically confined to class publica- 

 tions, because of the belief that the use 

 of general publications does not pay as 

 well. 



DETROIT NEXT JUNE. 



The executive committee of the Amer- 

 ican Seed Trade Association has desig- 

 nated Detroit as the place for the thir- 

 ty-fifth annual convention, to be held 

 next June. 



The committee held its annual mid- 

 winter meeting at New York, January 

 30. Those present were President Kir- 

 by B. White, Detroit; Secretary C. E. 

 Kendel, Cleveland; J. M. Lupton, Mat- 

 tituck, L. I.; Leonard H. Vaughan, Chi- 

 cago; Howard M. Earl, Philadelphia; 

 W. G. Scarlett, Baltimore; J. L. Hunt, 

 Cambridge, N. Y., which is the full com- 

 mittee with the exception of the vice- 

 presidents. By invitation there also 

 were present W. S. Woodruff, M. H. 

 Durvoa and Charles D. Boyles. 



AUSTRALIAN SEED CROPS. 



In Australia seasonal conditions are 

 the reverse of our own and 1916-1917 

 seed crops there are approaching the 

 harvest time. With reference to the 

 crop prospect, F. H. Brunning, Ltd., by 

 Leslie H. Brunning, secretary, says 

 under date of December 19: 



"We have had heavy rains during 

 1916, tlie fall to date being thirty-eight 

 inches. The average for the last forty 

 years is twenty-five inches, and last 

 year's total for the same period was 

 twentv and one-half inches. As the 

 bulk of the rain has fallen since Sep- 

 tember and has been accompanied by 

 heavy hail from time to time, you will 

 understand the crops have suffered se- 

 verely. In the Portarlington district, 

 what has not been washed out will bear 

 well, but even so we cannot look for 

 more than a fifty per cent return. The 

 carrot and parsnip crops we are afraid 

 will be almost total failures, owing to 

 the fact that, on top of the floods, the 

 Rutherglen fly has made its appearance. 



"At time "of writing, it is hard to 

 give an opinion on the onion crop, but 

 it seems to us that it will not be a 

 heavy one.'^^ 



ACTION FOR SHORT DELIVERY. 



The California Lima Bean Growers' 

 Association is likely to be brought into 

 court in the near future to ascertain 

 whether or not it can be compelled to 

 make good its obligations to deliver fu- 

 ture goods. S. Pfeifer, a New Orleans 

 jobber, has sued the organization and 

 has rather got the start of the bean men 

 by tying up money due them, now in 

 the Louisiana jurisdiction. It appears 

 that Pfeifer got a portion of the beans 

 for which he contracted and January 

 20 paid a draft for $4,683.10. Then
