The Florists' Review 



August 12, 192« 



eign firms for the 1921 crop is of no 

 interest, as it is expected that the 

 market prices in the autumn of 1921 

 will be higher than the present contract 

 prices. 



RETAIL SALE OF FIELD SEEDS. 



The retail sales of field seeds on the 

 whole this year compare favorably with 

 those of 1919, but are somewhat below 

 normal, according to reports received 

 by the bureau of markets of the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture from retail seed 

 dealers throughout the United States. 



Of the commercially more important 

 seeds, red and alsike clover sales show 

 the greatest reduction, while alfalfa 

 sales were practically equal to those of 

 1919, and in most of the large consuming 

 states the sales of timothy were greater 

 than in 1919 and nearly normal. 



An appreciable increase is noted in 

 the sales of sweet clover except in the 

 west central division. Little difference 

 is noted between sales this year and last 

 year of Kentucky bluegrass, orchard 

 grass and redtop. Sales of cowpeas 

 were uniformly smaller in every state, 

 doubtless because of the abnormally high 

 price and short supply, while soy bean 

 sales were from two to thirty per cent 

 larger in the eastern, southern and mid- 

 dle western states. A general increase 

 over 1919 tind normal is noted in the 

 quantity of millets, sorgos and rape seed 

 sold. 



Seed corn sales increased materially in 

 the southeastern, north central, west 

 central and north Pacific divisions and 

 are reported equal to 1919 and normal 

 in other sections. Outstanding among 

 the gfrains is the ten to fifteen per cent 

 reduction from 1919 and normal in the 

 sales of seed wheat. Seed of the other 

 grains seems to have met with a more 

 ready sale than in 1919, but less than 

 normal in most sections. 



Narron, Pa. — Edward A. M. Helen- 

 thai is erecting a greenhouse, which he 

 expects to have ready for use in the fall. 



Ames, la. — The F. J. Olson green- 

 houses, west of the college, are under- 

 going a general overhauling at the hands 

 of employees. The hotbeds are being 

 cleaned out and refilled with fresh soil. 

 Many noticeable improvements are 

 being made about the buildings and 

 grounds.
