The Florists^ Review

shine that is beyond we shall reap to the 

 full the fruit of tiie opportunity that will 

 be open to us. ' ' 



Spring business is beginning to shape 

 itself with the Sti Louis Seed Co., St. 

 Louis, Mo., and the firm's staff of em- 

 . ployees is busyfillinfj the seed bins for the 

 rush. The company 's handsome catalogue 

 has been sent out. August Hummert, 

 vice-president, looks for a big increase in 

 business this spring. 



Owing to the conservative planting of 

 crops in 11)21, H. A. Johns, of the Sioux 

 City Seed Co., Sioux City, la., believes 

 the supply of seeds to be carried over 

 from 1922 will be the lowest for many 

 years. The trade, consequently, will be in 

 a healthier condition. Mr. Johns, while 

 not looking for a great advance this sea- 

 son, is of the opinion the low point has 

 been passed and tluit the trend is upward 

 for seedsmen. 



KERN SEES HOPEFUL OUTLOOK. 



"Since the first of the year business 

 has taken on a decidedly different 

 tone," states J. R. Kern, of the Bar- 

 teldes Seed Co., Denver, Colo., "and we 

 are much busier than we have been for 

 some time. We are looking forward to 

 a good season; in fact, in talking with 

 a great many people who travel through 

 Denver, we are informed that Denver is 

 in quite good shape, taking into consid- 

 eration conditions in other cities 

 throughout the United States. Denver, 

 of course, did not have any of the war 

 activities that other cities had, and thus 

 did not have them to lose. The last six 

 months with us have been much better 

 than the same six months a year ago. 



"Those seedsnion who have weathered 

 the storm of financial distress are now 

 starting to recover, and in the next six 

 months this state and city, particularly 

 in the agricultural line, will be in better 

 shape than for the last two years."

Windmill Talks 

 on Bulbs 



The black soil in which we rotate our growing 

 of Bulbs, over on our own ground in Holland, 

 is as black as your hat. 

 It is as rich as it is black. 



The light, loamy soil is as light as it is loamy; 

 so light, in fact, that we have to fasten it down 

 to keep it from blowing away. This we do by 

 scattering manure-water over it, which forms 

 a crusting and holds it. 



Some bulb growers don't bother to do this; 

 that's why sometimes along comes the wind and 

 blows their top soil right into the canals. 

 Of course, that means either a complete loss of 

 crop or some bulbs good, and many bulbs poor. 

 We take no chances. That's why you take 

 none with our Bulbs. Always, you get both 

 bulbs and satisfaction. 



It is why so many buy Tegelaar Bulbs early 

 to make sure of getting them.
