The Florists' Review 



OCTOBBB 16, 1919. 



creasing calls for wheat, rye, timothy 

 and clovers, showing the tendency to 

 raise diversified crops, apart from cot- 

 ton. 



The Williams Seed Co., of Norfolk, 

 Va., has opened a branch at Plant City, 

 Fla. Lyon H. Williams, the proprietor, 

 entertained the gleaner at the weekly 

 luncheon of the Kiwanus Club, where 

 the leading topic discussed was "Bugs 

 and How to Combat Them." 



Manager Moreland, of Geo. Tait & 

 Sons, Inc., Norfolk, believes that with- 

 in the next decade all market garden 

 land within easy reach of the city will 

 be built upon to accommodate the rapid 

 growth of the population. As there is 

 an abundance of land suitable for the 

 growing of vegetables, the outside mar- 

 kets will not suffer. The recent death 

 of George Tait came as a shock in its 

 suddenness, since his age was less than 

 threescore years. W. M.
