The Florists' Review 



June 16, 1921 



situation, at which were present all of 

 the dealers without a single exception. 

 These dealers decided to make no pur- 

 chases as long as it is not possible to 

 buy at prices lower than those fixed 

 by the syndicate of producers. 



Their policy is now one of waiting. 

 They make no prediction as to the pos- 

 sibility of cabling American houses new 

 prices, and find it equally impossible to 

 predict whether it will be possible to 

 buy at all at prices lower than those 

 first quoted. 



The presence at Ollioules of certain 

 buyers who may not exercise the pa- 

 tience to follow the same policy as that 

 determined upon by the French export- 

 ers lends uncertainty to the situation. 

 So long as the former hold off their pur- 

 chases, the deadlock will continue, since 

 no one else will meet the growers' de- 

 mands. 



WHY CANNERS' SEEDS AEE DULL. 



The present financial condition of the 

 canner is even more serious than that 

 of the farmer, Harry P. Strasbaugh, 

 president of the National Canners' As- 

 sociation, told the National Eetail 

 Grocers' Association at a recent con- 

 vention. He said that the farmer at 

 least had his land intact, while idle 

 canneries were depreciating every 

 month. 



As a result of the continued depre- 

 ciation of canned goods values, Mr. 

 Strasbaugh asserted, the canner is not 

 encouraged to can and if the industry 

 does not thoroughly recuperate the pen- 

 dulum is sure to swing in the other di- 

 rection and scarcity of canned foods 

 and high prices will result. 



"The per capita consumption of 

 canned foods is ridiculously small — 

 about three cans per capita of canned 

 corn and tomatoes, with fruits and fish 

 in proportion," said Mr. Strasbaugh. 

 "With an effort on the part of the re- 

 tail grocer, the wholesale grocer and 

 the canner to double consumption of 

 canned foods, and incidentally double 

 the volume of business ixnd profit as 

 well, tliis present-day surjilus of canned 

 foods could be easilv absorbed."
