The Rorists' Review 



NOVEMBEK 30, 1916. 



Bonville, is preparing its new catalogue 

 for the market gardening trade with 

 extra care. 



C. T. Mcintosh & Son, of Charleston, 

 S. C, report the largest seed season in 

 their experience — ' ' and the greatest 

 difficulty to hold our trade," said Mr. 

 Mcintosh, "for, owing to the uncer- 

 tainty of supplies, we could not guaran- 

 tee a large quantity to a single grower, 

 but had to give it to. him as it was 

 handed to us. Ofttimes he was hard to 

 convince." A new pest has appeared 

 this season in the form of a creature 

 that works somewhat like a mole and 

 causes much damage. It is given the 

 local name of ground puppy. 



The Mixson Seed Co., of Charleston, 

 believes that next year will see the 

 largest acreage under cultivation ever 

 known in "the island," on account of 

 the firm and continuous market. The 

 company also handles large quantities 

 of garden produce and supplies.

A UNIQUE WINDOW DISPLAY. 



Benjamin DelValle, manager of the 

 foreign department of the Stumpp & Wal- 

 ter Co., New York, has arranged one of 

 the most interesting window exhibits ever 

 seen in a seed store in that city. The 

 display has been on a week and will 

 continue another one if the public con- 

 tinues to take the wonderful interest that 

 now prevails. Crowds constantly are in 

 front of the window. 



The principal feature of the exhibit 

 is Cuzco, the largest known variety of 

 corn. George G. Stumpp says this corn 

 will grow and yield enormously in high 

 and cold sections of this country, even 

 10,000 feet above the sea level. The 

 variety is said to have been grown by 

 the ancient Peruvians and Incas a thou- 

 sand years ago. Some of the kernels 

 measure an inch in diameter. 



The whole window is devoted to South 

 American products and not the least in- 

 teresting of the stage settings is a mum- 

 my 3,000 years old and valued at $3,000. 

 There also are valuable carpets, por- 

 tieres, rugs, furs, ancient vases from the 

 tombs of the Incas, hats, cotton, crude 

 rubber, maps of South America, Peru- 

 vian flags and many curiosities when seen 

 in seed store windows. The company 

 seems to have solved the problem of win- 

 dow decoration, as nothing more unique 

 and impelling has been seen in a New 

 York seedsman's windows in years. 



Stumpp & Walter Co. is offering this 

 Cuzco corn to its patrons and finds an 

 increasing demand for it in this country.

The Market. 

 The weather has become colder and 

 there has been a fair quantity of sun- 

 shine during the last week. Business 

 in general seems to have picked up to 

 some extent and Thanksgiving should 

 compare favorably with last year's, as 

 far as sales are concerned. Stock in 

 general is not plentiful, but rather vice 

 versa, at this writing, with the excep- 

 tion of chrysanthemums. These still 

 are too plentiful and are hard to clean 

 up. Chadwick and Bonnaffon are in 

 good supply and in fine condition. These 

 two late varieties are moving well, espe- 

 cially in out-of-town orders. They 

 probably stand shipping better than 

 any other variety of mums and are in 

 great demand by the shipping trade. 

 This week will probably see the end of
