The Florists^ Review 



January 8, 1020. 



deners. Spring, 1920," illustrated, thirty-two 

 large pages and cover. In connection with the 

 leading classes of vegetables the catalogue gives 

 suggestions on the Judicious selection of va- 

 rieties, and on this point the company remarks: 

 "We feel that the market gardener appreciates 

 quite as much being offered reasons for or 

 against specific varieties as he appreciates rea- 

 sons for buying one seedsman's seeds In prefer- 

 ence to those of another." 



Botteveel Bros., Sassenheim. Holland, but ad- 

 dressed at present in care of Maltus & Ware, 

 New York, N. Y. — Wholesale catalogue of Hol- 

 land bulbs, American edition; twenty-four pages, 

 In a tasteful and exceptionally durable, brown 

 cover. Valley pips and French bulbs also are 

 listed. 



H. Or, Hastings Co., Atlanta, Ga. — Catalogue 

 No. 59, consisting of ninety-six freely illustrated 

 pages, in a colored cover, and offering seeds, 

 bulbs, roots, plants and supplies. Cotton seed, 

 peanuts and other southern specialties are list- 

 ed. Cabbage plants and onion sets have promi- 

 nent mention. Drought-enduring forage crops 

 also are conspicuous. 



Aggeler & Musser Seed Co., Inc., Los Angeles, 

 Cal. — Twenty-seventh annual catalogue, illus- 

 trated; 112 pages, in a handsome and striking 

 colored cover, the back part of which appears 

 to uphold San Francisco's reputation, in a 

 mirage-like way, by Indicating that the sky 

 as well as the ground is covered with a lux- 

 uriant crop. General lines of seed are offered, 

 including tree and shrub seeds, but special prom- 

 inence is given to California products. 



Currie Bros. Co., Milwaukee, Wis. — "Currle's 

 Farm and Garden Annual," an illustrated 96- 

 page catalogue of seeds, bulbs, plants, nursery 

 stock, garden implements and requisites. 'Spe- 

 cial attention is given to grass seed mixtures 

 for various purposes. The cultural matter com- 

 prises brief directions on the construction and 

 use of hotbeds and coldframes. 



W. Atle« Burpee Co., Philadelphia, Pa. — 

 "Burpee's Annual for 1920," 164 pages, in the 

 tasteful, compact, carefully designed style for 

 which this company's publications are noted. 

 Among the illustrations are many colored plates, 

 showing "over 100 subjects in color." Two 

 pink sections, introducing the vegetable and 

 flower departments, contain detailed sugges- 

 tions as to the "best possible collections" of 

 varieties. In the arrangement of the vegetable 

 seeds the compilers of the book have followed 

 the same plan as last year, dividing the stock 

 "into four distinct classes — Root Crops, Edible 

 Seeds, Greens and Salads, and Vegetable Fruits." 

 The company states that "fourteen new va- 

 rieties of early-flowering Spencer sweet peas are 

 here offered for tbe first time." Bulbs and 

 plants, as well as seeds, are listed. 



INDIANAPOLIS, IND. 



Tbe Market 



The demand continued excellent last 

 week and the supply was inadequate to 

 meet it. All stock is making a top-notch 

 price. Carnations were short and made 

 from $8 to $12.50 per hundred. Roses 

 were in constant demand at $6 and up 

 per hundred and were hard to procure at 

 that. 



Calla lilies were in good demand for 

 funeral work and sold at $2.50 and $3 

 per dozen. Sweet peas, in no great 

 amount, were available at $1.50 to $2.50 

 per hundred. Narcissi, in small quanti- 

 ties, sold readily at $6 and $8 per hun- 

 dred. Other miscellaneous stock in- 

 cluded calendulas at $3 and $4, a few 

 violets, orchids and stevia. 



Potted plants were less numerous both 

 in variety and in quantity. Practically 

 the only available things in this line 

 were Primula obconica, cyclamens and 

 begonias. 



Various Notes. 



Hartje & Elder are still cutting some 

 chrysanthemums. 



This spring Baur & Steinkamp are go- 

 ing to build a new greenhouse, 42x365 

 feet. This house will be separate from 

 the other block of greenhouses. This 

 firm has been doing good business in 

 rooted carnation cuttings. 



Albert Ruble is cutting some good 

 sweet peas. 



Charles Pahud has recovered his auto- 

 mobile that was stolen more than a 

 week before; it was found in bad con- 

 dition. The old Pahud homestead is 

 being made over into a 4-apartment 

 building.
