The Florists^ Review 



Fdbbdabt 5, 1920 



this season notable in this respect, but 

 ■we have a few new things that will re- 

 ceive enthusiastic welcome, and doubt- 

 less 1920 will find our plant breeders 

 busy with intent to provide some sensa- 

 tions for next year's distribution." 



MOTT-LY OLEANINas. 



Daniel Carmichael, of J. M. McCul- 

 lough's Sons Co., Cincinnati, O., observed 

 that since the formation of the Holland 

 Bulb Growers' Association, methods 

 were being pursued that are quite arbi- 

 trary. He believes the seed trade and, 

 in fact, all who handle Holland-grown 

 stock will be compelled to counter-or- 

 ganize. Demand locally is opening up 

 well in response to the catalogue. Stocks 

 are fairly plentiful. 



Manthey's Seed Store, Cincinnati, is 

 getting more crowded each year. "If 

 this season beats last in volume, we 

 must expand," observed Mr. Manthey, 

 who, by the way, is fighting the flu. 



The J. W. Wilder Seed Co., of Cin- 

 cinnati, has installed on the second floor 

 of the store an incubator capable of 

 hatching 6,000 chicks and mentions the 

 fact that annual sales run as high as 

 30,000. This gives an impetus to the 

 sale of chick food and a profitable form 

 of publicity. 



Clem Kimmel & Son, of Dayton, O., 

 predict a greater scarcity of flower seed, 

 owing to the prevailing high price and 

 the fact that less is being sown each 

 year. The outlook, as seen by the seeds- 

 men, is becoming serious. W. M. 



STOCKS OF CLOVES SEEDS. 



From a table compiled by the bureau 

 of markets of the Department of Agri- 

 culture from schedules mailed to ap- 

 proximately 3,500 shippers of red, alsike 

 and sweet clover, alfalfa and timothy 

 seed, a good comparison is obtained of 

 stocks in shippers' hands December 13, 

 1919, and December 14, 1918, and of 

 shipments and prices for the 1918 and 

 1919 crops. 



The stocks of each of these seeds in 

 the hands of shippers were somewhat 

 larger December 13, 1919, than they 

 were a year ago. The differences, how- 

 ever, were rather small. The estimated 

 shipments of 1919 crop seed were found 

 to be larger in the case of alsike and 

 sweet clover and timothy, and to be 

 smaller in the case of red clover and al- 

 falfa. The difference in alfalfa ship- 

 ments was most marked, the shipments 

 of 1919 crop seed being only about 

 seventy-five per cent of those for the 

 1918 crop, and in a few of the largest 

 producing sections the shipments were 

 less than twenty per cent of the 1918 

 shipments. Bed clover shipments of 

 the 1919 crop were indicated to be ten 

 per cent less than those of the 1918 crop, 

 whereas those for the 1919 crop of tim- 

 othy were shown to be eighteen per cent 

 more than 1918 crop shipments. 



Growers received about $10.75 more 

 per hundred pounds for red clover, 

 $15.25 more for alsike clover, $6.25 more 

 for sweet clover, $13.50 more for alfalfa 

 and $1.90 more for timothy of the 1919 

 crop than for seed of the 1918 crop.
