porter of azaleas, camellias and rhodo- 

 dendrons, Mr. Horlacher finds that this 

 season the sale of cyclamens and primu- 

 las has more than compensated for the 

 loss of other lines. He has flowers of 

 Primula obconica that covered a silver 

 dollar and of firm texture. Careful se- 

 lection of strains is responsible to a 

 large extent for the better prices. At- 

 tention was called to Fischer's lavender 

 freesia, which will be much in demand 

 when the price is within reach of the 

 large f rower. Buddleia Farquhari is giv- 

 ing much satisfaction; having a notable 

 pink tint and large truss of blooms, 

 easy-growing and flowering when most 

 needed, it will be seen on the bench of 

 every retail grower. 



Joseph H. Cunningham's store is 

 known in Delaware, 0., as the "House 

 of Quality." At the greenhouses, Mr. 

 Cunningham was engaged on a floral 

 design and, sticking in a bunch of 

 forget-me-nots, observed that, with 

 pricking off seedlings, they were busily 

 engaged with the two extremes of na- 

 ture. It was well said that the retail 

 grower should be the best judge of 

 quality and consequently was more open 

 to criticism if the standard is not high. 

 '^When dad began years ago," con- 

 tinued Mr. Cunningham, "to advertise 

 a little surplus stock through the Classi- 

 fied ad columns of The Review, we little 

 knew what a steady, reliable business 

 could be worked up, even if only in a 

 few special lines. These, when once 

 known, draw every succeeding year 

 mere orders, which we are careful shall 

 not swamp us nor cause us to hold up 

 our customers unreasonably. This year 

 we hope to come out on top again."

THROUGH FOREIGN EYES. 



The situation resulting in Holland 

 from the United States quarantine pro- 

 hibiting the importation of plants is 

 portrayed in a letter from the Royal 

 Tottenham Nurseries, at Dedemsvaart, 

 Holland, one of the largest growers of 

 herbaceous perennials in the world, to 

 McHutchison & Co., New York. It 

 reads in part as follows: 



"We hope that your nurserymen's 

 and florists' organizations will take 

 strong action with Congress in order to 

 get modifications of the present quaran- 

 tine. We fear, however, that unless 

 these modifications come soon, they will
