LONG ISLAND'S OUTLOOK. 



A tour among tlie growers on Long 

 Island found all in the position of 

 Henry Weston, of Hempstead, N. Y., up 

 to their eyes in work and working with 

 a will, encouraged by the good season, 

 despite all the setbacks. It was found, 

 as assumed by Mr. Weston, that the 

 florists, like himself, have been kept 

 closer at home, finding that ]iersonal 

 service counts more than ever. Patrons 

 are n'oro critical and, at the same time, 

 more appreciative. The grower who 

 specializes in cut flowers is busy plant- 

 ing out, the soil being in fine shape 

 and the weather cool, enabling the 

 plants to take root. The wholesale plant 

 growers and those who also retail their 

 ])roduct were never in better shape for 

 either (|uantity or (jiiality, and the ma- 

 jority are on the (|iii \ive to boost the 

 tr.'ide locally to the fullest degree, real- 

 izing that the individual undoubtedly 

 can Jiccomplish more than hitherto 

 thouglit of or attempted. Prices are 

 firm, although it is expected they will 

 average lower than last year, but it 

 is generally accepted that the many re- 

 ductions in various materials will 

 largely, if not completely, ofl'set this 

 and the employees are in sympathy, 

 gi\ing of their best for the gooil of the 

 service. 



While it proirii.'^es to be one of the 

 busiest summers on the island t'or sev 

 eral seasons, what with ' ' fixiiig u|i ' " ;ind 

 new liuiMiiig beyond the av(>rage, there 

 is .'ilrc'tnly t;ilk of attending the con- 

 \-eiitioii of the S. A. F. at Wastiingtou 

 in .Vuoiist, owing (diiedy to tlie fact 

 that the ma.jority, if not all, own and 

 operate automobiles .-ind will no doubt 

 be seen, in more family ]iarties than 

 tn'cr before. 



Commenting upon the seed situation 

 on the isl.'ind, ,r. N. Hewlett, of Free- 

 port, who is a veteran in the seeil trade 

 ;ind who caters largely to market gar- 

 deners, expresses tiie belief that much 

 conservatism is being shown in buying 

 anil that planting is on the short side.
