A. F. J. Baur. of Baur & Steinkamp. Wholesale Florists and noted 

 Carnation Breeders, well known to KEVIEW readers, Indianapolis, writes: 



"Please auote us on BERTREX and EVELYN KIRTLAND in various 

 Quantities. EVELYN KIRTLAND turned out to be what the writer 

 thought. It is the FINEST PINK in EXISTENCE. Bh-RTREX is an 

 unusually good white. Both should become leaders." 



James F. Rychlik, Florist and Grower. Painesville. Ohio, writes:

to twenty-six blossoms."

French markets will reopen to them, 

 and probably the Eussian. If these 

 countries do not call for a quantity of 

 bulbs comparable with the years before 

 1914, which, indeed, it would be impos- 

 sible to supply, they will take enough 

 to strengthen the market. There will 

 be, in addition, a home demand to com- 

 pete with the export demand. In Hol- 

 land before the war there were many 

 hundreds of small growers who sold 

 their crops to exporters. Numbers of 

 these farmers sold out of bulbs in 1916 

 and 1917. Now they are buying stock 

 to get back into the bulb business, and 

 by next year will be in the market for 

 quantities of planting stock which will 

 represent an appreciable percentage of 

 the available supply. Consequently the 

 exporters expect rising rather than fall- 

 ing prices, and it is figured there will 

 be not more than twenty or possibly 

 thirty travelers sent to the United States 

 this winter, where there were about 125 

 in the first part of the years up to 

 1916.
