much about seed potatoes, and papers 

 and pictures of vegetable growing in 

 France, Italy, England and Belgium by 

 members who were abroad in the 

 A. E. F. 



The headquarters were at the North- 

 western, a small but excellent hotel, 

 where most of the members stayed and 

 where the sessions were held. 



At the banquet pictures were shown 

 and talks given to bring the members 

 useful and valuable suggestions from 

 foreign gardeners. The banquet itself 

 was planned to show some ways of using 

 vegetables by cooks overseas. 



NEW YORKERS TO MEET. 



The annual meeting of the New York 

 State Vegetable Growers' Association 

 will be held at Syracuse January 7 and 

 8. The entertainment committee is mak- 

 ing preparations to care for about 200 

 visitors. A banquet will be given Jan- 

 uary 7 at the Onondaga. The program 

 for the second day will include a lunch- 

 eon at the College of Agriculture, Syra- 

 cuse University, at noon. Following 

 the luncheon the visitors will be taken 

 on an inspection tour of the various uni- 

 versity buildings. E. W. McClure is 

 chairman of the entertainment com- 

 mittee. 



PUT ON PREFERRED LIST. 



At their state convention in Des 

 Moines the Iowa vegetable growers re- 

 ceived a report from J. H. Rice, of Ash- 

 tabula, O., chairman of the fuel com- 

 mittee of the Vegetable Growers' Asso- 

 ciation of America, the chief item of 

 which was the success of the committee 

 in getting vegetable greenhouses placed 

 on the basis of an essential industry 

 in the matter of coal. 



In a set of resolutions, the Iowa men 

 thanked the national chairman for his 

 efficient service and stated their belief 

 that the greenhouse is essential to the 

 vegetable supply of our cities, not alone 

 in winter, but increasingly necessary, 

 because of the reduced supply of horse 

 manure for the growing of plants, and 

 essential, moreover, so the gardener 

 may hold together a force of workers 

 with whom to handle his outdoor work 

 in the summer. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



Christmas business was excellent and 

 all stock was cleaned up at good prices. 

 Carnations were scarce and brought $12 

 to $15 per hundred. There were a few 

 orchids to be had and they brought $2 

 to $2.50 each. Several growers have re- 

 ported losses of sweet peas and the sup- 

 ply has shown a decrease due to the 

 dark weather. Out-of-town business has 

 been good and shipments have been ar- 

 riving in good shape. Plants in large 

 variety have been coming in, but the 

 demand is greater than the supply. 

 Stevia arrived in quantity and cleaned 

 up well. The demand for narcissi was 

 good; they brought $6 per hundred. The 

 different varieties of Christmas novel- 

 ties were far in excess of other years. 

 There were few mums available and 

 these were cleaned right up. The market 

 has been well stocked with greens.
