The KENILWORTH Giant Pansy Seed 



KENILWOBTH GIANT PRIZE. I have Improved this strain by selecting and 

 saving seed from the best shaped flowers of the most gorgeous color for many 

 years. It is of the blocked Masterpiece type. The plants distinguish them- 

 selves by their robust growth and healthy-looking foliage; they are deep 

 rooted and stand the hot, dry weather better than most other varieties. The 

 large flowers on long, thick stems are carried well above the foliage in the 

 most graceful manner, are of enormous size and of good substance The 

 petals are exceedingly broad and cover each other in such a manner as ta 

 make the flowers appear almost double. The border of each petal being 

 conspicuously undulated and curled, the gorgeous and varied colored blos- 

 soms of velvety texture, perfect form and giant size, frequently measuring 

 dV4 inches in diameter; the ground color such as yellow, white, deep orange, 

 mahogany brown, bronze blue, and endless variations. Most petals are beau- 

 tifully marked with a large blotch, a few are self-colored. They are spe- 

 cially fine for planting under glass or outside for cut flowers at all season.s

 isfaction as the improved Trimardoau for all general purposes. 1000 seeds

Ultra 



fhat the Americans most insistent on 

 low prices are those who have sold at 

 'lofinite fixed prices. Such an assertion, 

 ^vhatever the fact, amounts to saying 

 the florists are able and would not be 

 "iiwilling to pay the higher prices, al- 

 '^hough the dealers have said the insist- 

 ence on the syndicate prices will curtail 

 'he consumption by three-fourths. 



That things are not quiet in the bulb 

 'district is shown by the volume of in- 

 formation coming over, "dope," as one 

 dealer calls it. One of the most trust- 

 worthy informants reports that, where- 



as two Holland-French concerns began 

 buying at the high prices, they quickly 

 desisted. The same authority states 

 that America has bought no bulbs, that 

 Holland has ceased to buy, and that 

 England has canceled the orders al- 

 ready given, so that most of the export 

 dealers are practically without definite 

 orders. At the same time the leaders of 

 the growers' syndicate are urging the 

 members to sit tight, even going so far 

 as to publish advertisements in the local 

 newspapers asserting that the high 

 prices are to be had by standing fast 



and pointing out that in a similar situa- 

 tion in 1899 the buyers finally paid the 

 prices asked after holding off until July 

 15. In the meantime offers are begin- 

 ning to trickle across by cable from per- 

 sons who say they can furnish certain 

 quantities, but not enough to cover ag- 

 gregate American needs, at prices of 

 from 100 to 110 francs. The cooperating 

 American dealers have stated their 

 limit to be 100 francs, but they are not 

 yet buying. 



One development has been the organ- 

 ization of an export dealers ' association
