Bulb Forcers Prepare Contract. 



Dissatisfaction with the prices they 

 paid for bulbs last year and with- the 

 results obtained from forcing them this 

 spring has caused the members of the 

 Chicago Bulb Forcers' Association to 

 determine to purcl^ase only on their own 

 terms this year. A good many have 

 signified their intention of markedly 

 reducing their plantings. Those which 

 they do order will be bought only if 

 the seller will sign a contract which 

 Chairman Peter Pearson and his at- 

 torney have dra\vn up. By this 

 "memorandum of agreement" the 

 seller and the purchaser bind them- 

 selves to agree to the following condi- 

 tions: 



1. Those stipulations, terms and conditions 

 shall be and at once become bindiii;; upon the 

 parties hereto, irrespective of any and all terms 

 and conditions submitted by the seller which are 

 in conflict herewith. 



2. All goods are purchased t. o. b. shipboard. 

 Rotterdam or Amsterdam, Holland, plus actual 

 coHt of containers and marine insurance on ship- 

 ment. 



3. All bulbs are purchased for tlo purpose of 

 forcing in flower earlier than at their natural 

 time for blooming, when not forced. It is there- 

 fore understood and agreed between the parties 

 hereto that all bulbs are sold for the flower 

 they produce, and further, that the purchaser 

 will not be required to pay for any tulip or 

 narcissus bulbs that fail to produce standard 

 flowers under normal forcing conditions. 



4. The seller hereby agrees that all goods 

 shipped in excess of this order, or goods of the 

 same variety, but smaller in size than ordered, 

 are not necessarily a part hereof, but may be 

 rejected by the recipient at his option. In 

 event such goods are tentatively accepted and 

 are planted, the question of fixing the price on 

 such goo<ls sliall be left entirely to recipient, 

 and such goods shall not be subject to list price 

 as quoted. 



5. Purchaser must notify shipper In writing 

 within reasonable time of any known defects in 

 goods received. 



6. All bulbs used to fill this order are guaran- 

 teed to be free from disease and decay. 



7. This order not valid unless signed by both 

 parties or their representatives. 



Growers Hold Sweet Pea Night. 



Sweet peas were the feature of the 

 exhibition at the Hotel Randolph 

 Thursday evening, March 17, at the 

 meeting of the Commercial Flower 

 Growers of Chicago. They were ex- 

 ceedingly good stock, all of them, as 

 were also the vases of other flowers of 

 miscellaneous kinds that were shown. 

 George J. Ball's array of vases looked 

 especially fine, and included the new 

 variety Annette, a splendid cerise that 

 is particularly brilliant under artificial 

 light, where other pink varieties appear 

 to less advantage. This received a cer- 

 tificate of merit. Hans Jepsen 's vases 

 included one of 100 sprays of Zvol- 

 anek 's Rose, on remarkably stiff, 

 straight stems averaging fourteen 

 inches in length. One would have to 

 go far to find better grown stock, if, 

 indeed, one could. He also exhibited 

 some exceedingly fine General Pershing 

 freesias. Henry Wehrman, who read a 

 short paper on sweet peas, printed on 

 another page of this issue, gave evi- 

 dence of splendid results from the 

 methods he advocated by several vases 

 of various varieties. G. Swenson 

 showed four fine vases. A. E. Hunt & Co. 

 displayed excellent annual lupinus and 

 yellow and white daisies of Mr. Hunt's 

 own strain, as well as a vase of an 

 attractive blue daisy. 



The judges, George J. Ball, A. Hunt 

 and William Duntemann, rendered the 

 following report: 



Exceptionally well grown vase of Zvolanek's 

 Horn sweet peas, exceptionally well grown 

 General Terghing freesias, and Sweet Peas Ulue 

 Jacket, Melody and Bluebird, by Hans Jepsen, 

 Maywood.
