SOUTHERNERS GET IN THE GAME 



The Southern Floral Co., of Houston, 

 Tex., is making arrangements with 

 northern ^vllolesah' luuises t'or the dis- 

 tribution of its large crop of cut gla 

 dioli, the stock to be handled by onl_\ 

 one house in ea(di of several of the 

 l.arger tlower centers of the north. Tlu 

 company, .'iside from its rangx' of green 

 houses, hiis farms in several localities 

 in keejiing with the \;irious crops it 

 wishes to jiroduce. The gladiolus crop 

 this year will consist of ;ibout 750,000 

 spikes.

A SHORTAGE OF PARIS GREEN. 



.\ ]irob;ible shortage of l';iris greeii 

 this ve;ir, depending largel.v uj^on the 

 extent of the ravages of jiotato bugs, is 

 forecast by manufacturers and dealers. 

 The price of I'aris green adv;inced 

 sh.'irply recently to from 40 cents to 45 

 cents a jioiind in kegs, standing at from 

 ;'i cents to 'i cents a ]>ouud above the 

 ipiot.-itioii ;it the beginning of the 

 month, and representing an advance of 

 ;iliout lo cents a jiouiid over the price 

 a year ago. This condition is ascribed 

 to the difliculties in obtaining white 

 •arsenic, the jirinidpal material used in 

 iiiakini;' l'ai'i< green, which is scarce and 

 high at present. 



The opinion is generally exjiressed in 

 the tr.'ide that there would be about 

 eiiiiiigh I'.aris greeii to .accommodate the 

 normal leipiiremeiits, but in \iew of tin 

 plans for extensively increasing the cul 

 tiv.ation of the jiotato to ]irevcnt a food 

 shortage it is feared that the supjily wib 

 not b(> ample to fill the demand. Tin 

 representative of one of the largest 

 houses manuf.'ict iiriiig the poison said 

 that its entire sujijily had been sold out 

 some time .ago and that all inquirie- 

 v\ere being turned a\va_\'. 



The bulk of I'.'iris green is mai.ufac- 

 tiii-ed duriiiL;' the -winter months, as it^ 

 |iriidiict idii is highly dangerous, requir 

 ing th;it the workers be closely confined 

 ;inil w;irni weather- would make the risk 

 to workers too high. Moreover, the lack 

 of white arsenic will prevent any larg- 

 increase in the output. If there is a 

 scourge of potato bugs, such as come.- 

 ill some seasons, the jdants will ]»roba 

 biy suffer, ]iarticularly if the cotton 

 croji demands a large jiart of the sup 

 jily for the extinction of cotton pests.
