business was booming right then, with a 

 rush of high-class funeral work and 

 some good orders for social affairs. This 

 has been, thus far, one of the best sea- 

 sons in the experience of the E. Wien- 

 hoeber Co. 



Visitors to the H. N. Bruns valley 

 forcing establishment on the west side 

 note with interest the marked difference 

 between various lots of stock. The ex- 

 planation is that the best stock came 

 from his regular growers near Ham- 

 burg, but that the crop in 1919 was 

 insufficient for the needs of his trade 



and, to maintain his output, it was nec- 

 essary to force pips obtained from sev- 

 eral other sources, many of which, if 

 not blind, throw spikes which fail to 

 develop. The Bruns distribution of pips 

 extends from ocean to ocean, several 

 growers on the Pacific coast receiving 

 large weekly shipments. Mr. Bruns says 

 his brother at Hamburg took the crops 

 of his regular growers throughout the 

 war, although the pips could not be 

 shipped to America, and did well with 

 them in Germany, and, curiously enough, 

 found Bussia a specially profitable cus- 



tomer. Steamers with refrigeration 

 service recently resumed fortnightly 

 sailings from Hamburg to New York. 



The accession of over forty new re- 

 tailers to the membership list of the 

 Allied Florists' Association since au- 

 tumn activity commenced is looked upon 

 by the directors as evidence of the or- 

 ganization's recognized success in the 

 trade.
