CALLAS, FREE8IAS, PAPER WHITES 



Owinu to the scarcity of Forcing Plants and the great increase in price of all 

 decorative plants for Easter sales, it will pay the "foresighted florist" to lay in a 

 large stoc^k of the abo\e. People will buy flowers; they'll have the money.

double what it was la.st year, in most 

 cases considerably more than had been 

 estimated would be the case. One man 

 figured it out that tulips which cost him 

 $9 per thousand in Holland cost $13.06 

 on his floor. 



THE SEED GROWERS' SITUATION. 



' ' Conditions in the seed trade have 

 been such," says John L. Hunt, of the 

 Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., "that for 

 many months we have had to refuse all 

 business except such as comes from our 

 regular customer of years' standing 

 and, indeed, are not able to supply them 

 with anything like the quantities they 

 require. With potatoes, wheat, beans 

 and every farm crop :it the present 

 high level of prices, it is quite impos- 

 sible to interest the farmer in growing 

 anything like normal quantities of 

 seeds and the result is that we are 

 spending more time in telling people 

 that we cannot offer than we are in 

 booking orders. ' ' 



OHIO SEED CORN DAMAGED. 



C. S. Clark & Son, seed corn special- 

 ists at Wakeman, O., report that one 

 half their crop of seed corn, growing in 

 northern Ohio, is late and uncertain for 

 seed purposes. What is left, that was 

 not frosted, does not dry. The weather 

 has been so cold and wet tliat the topped 

 <^'orn is standing still. A hard freeze 

 within the next two or three weeks 

 would just about ruin this crop for seed 

 purposes. "Not in our forty years of 

 experience, ' ' say Clark & Son, ' ' have we 

 seen the crop in such critical condition. 

 October 22 usually finds sixty per cent 

 of our crops dry, but today not five per 

 cent of this crop has started to dry."
