The Florists' Review 



Septkmbkk 1, 1021 



the quality is inferior to that of last year 

 because of a greater percentage of light- 

 weight seed. 



The official roster of the lOverett B. 

 Clark Seed Co., Milford Conn., now is: 

 President, Arthur B. Clark; secretary and 

 treasurer, Frederick M. Clark. 



K. & J. Farquhar Co., Boston, reports 

 an excellent call for evergreens, her- 

 baceous perennials and strawberry plants 

 and a good demand for all early bulbs for 

 forcing. 



K. B. IIowK, of the W. W. Barnard Co., 

 Chicago, returned home this week. He 

 and Mrs. Howe attended the Washington 

 convention of the S. A. F. and after- 

 ward spent a few days in New York city, 

 Jersey City and in Massachusetts, where 

 some of Mrs. Howe's family reside. 



The Fottler, Fiske, Eawson Co. has had 

 some splendid window displays of dahlias 

 and gladioli at its Faneuil Hall square 

 store, at Boston, Mass. The company is 

 doing an increasing business in these. It 

 is also featuring some evergreens in va- 

 riety for fall planting. A good demand 

 exists for bulbs and strawberry plants. 



"The onion sets are about all in and 

 L never in my life saw sots of such good 

 quality," said Charles Hollenbach, of the 

 I'cter Hollenbach Seed Store, Chicago. 

 ' ' The sets are short, of good quality and 

 there will be firm prices holding on them 

 this year. The sets are small, hard and 

 dry, the quality being even better than 

 of those in 1916, which was the best year 

 ever for high-quality onion sets. ' ' 



Appkg.ximatki.y ninety-five i)er cent of 

 the 1921 crop of meadow fescue seed, esti- 

 mated at 1,000,000 pounds of clean seed 

 compared with 500,000 pounds produced 

 in 1920, was sold by growers prior to 

 August 20. The movement tliis .season 

 has been considerably al>ovc normal, much 

 of the seed having been bought before har- 

 vest. Prices offered to growers recently _ 

 ranged from 10 to 12 M; cents per hundred 

 pounds, basis clean seed. 



The movement of orchard grass seed in 

 Kentucky recently became active and by 

 August 20 about seventy-five per cent of 

 the crop had been sold by growers. A uni- 

 form price of $2 per bushel, basis clean 

 seed, was paid to the growers. During 

 the three weeks ending August 20 ap- 

 proximately 278,000 pounds of orchard 

 grass seed arrived at New York, all but 

 28,000 pounds coming from Denmark. 

 The exi)ortable surplus of this seed in 

 Denmark is considered to be smaller than 

 normal because of drought during the 

 spring. 



CALIFORNIA BULBS. 



The rejiort on the crop of bullis in 

 California, compiled by R. O. Tjincoln, 

 (if S:inta Cruz, gives the following data 

 on the condition of the crop of Cali- 

 fornia bulbs: 



"Yellow calla bull)s are making a 

 fine, vigorous growth and every indica- 

 tion is for a fine crop of exceptionally 

 good bullis. 



"The local growers o))er;iting iimbr 

 liermits from the Federal Horticultural 

 Board were rewarded with a good cro]) 

 of baby gladioli the first year and m.'ikc 

 good offers for the second year croji, 

 with which the stock can be released. 

 However, it is noted that the stock does 

 not make the large sizes it does in Eu- 

 rope.
