possible for many countries which "were 

 the best customers in pre-war times to 

 buy anything. Around Boskoop, Ghent 

 and other plant-exporting centers are 

 found the same sad conditions. It is a 

 heavy moral responsibility which your 

 Federal Horticultural Board has lightly 

 taken up, and the world will lose much 

 if it will be impossible henceforth to get 

 many plants, which aid so much to make 

 the lives of people bright. 



"According to our opinion, your F. H. 

 B. ought also to prohibit people enter- 

 ing the United States, in order to pre- 

 vent diseases among men from spread- 

 ing. We fervently hope that the steps 

 your committees will take will meet 

 with the success they deserve and that 

 common sense will again rule with your 

 officials, who seem to at present have 

 the international horticultural trade by 

 the throat."

The Market. 



Because of the scarcity of flowers, 

 prices went up a little in the cut flower 

 market last week. Eoses were scarce 

 and many other flowers coming into the 

 market were in much smaller quantities 

 than normal. In part, the shortage is 

 laid to scarcity of help. The growers 

 report that it is difficult to get satisfac- 

 tory help and that what can be secured 

 is so high-priced that many growers get 

 along with fewer hands than when 

 labor was cheaper. This has meant 

 smaller production and consequently 

 higher prices. 



Various Notes. 



"W. H. Witheridge, 532 Broad street, 

 reports that funeral work has been the 

 mainstay of his business recently. 



The "Washington Florists, 577 Broad 

 street, state that business is fair, but 

 that the high prices have driven away 

 trade. E. B. M. 



POOBLY BLOOMING PRIMULAS. 



Please tell me what the trouble is 

 with my primroses. They open out well 

 and then in a day or less turn pale or 

 purplish at the edges and wither away, 

 so that only two or three perfect blooms 

 are in a bunch at one time. The trouble 

 affects both malacoides that I grew from 

 eeed and obconica that I bought two

months ago in 4-inch pots. Chinese 

 primroses just beginning to open are 

 not as yet affected, but it is too soon 

 to say they will not be. The malacoides 

 are growing vigorously, some in pots, 



some in a bench. Those in pots have 

 got rather dry and droopy, but are no 

 worse as to blooms than the much 

 larger ones in the bench which have 

 never suffered from drought. The
