The Rbrists^ Review 



April 6. 1922 



lug held in St. Louis, when, at the re- 

 quest of the United States Department 

 of Agriculture, it agreed to withdraw 

 wild cucumber seed from the trade. 



In addition, the investigations show 

 that the rapidity and severity of the 

 development of cucumber mosaic are re- 

 lated to soil and air temperatures. A 

 temperature of 86 degrees favors infec- 

 tion and the rapid development of the 

 disease, while temperatures below 68 de- 

 grees retard or entirely prevent its ap- 

 pearance. 



Cucumber mosaic is serious and wide- 

 spread in the large pickle-growing areas 

 of the middle west, as well as other lo- 

 calities, and the discovery of methods 

 for reducing losses from it is therefore 

 a distinct contribution to the progress 

 of the industry. The department plans 

 to test the eradication methods further 

 before making general recommenda- 

 tions.

TORONTO, ONT. 



Business was good last week. Suffi- 

 cient good stock has been available to 

 fill all orders, but there has been no over- 

 supply; in fact, in the lower grades there 

 may be said to be a shortage. 



Some fine sweet peas are being deliv- 

 ered at the present time. These have 

 beautiful, large flowers and the stems 

 on some reach twenty-four inches. 

 Many of the florists are taking advan- 

 tage of the opportunity by displaying 

 the sweet peas in their windows. 



Last week there ocorred the death of 

 a nationally loved man, Sir John C. 

 Eaton. The florists had received orders 

 from various organizations and persons 

 for beautiful designs, but an order from 

 flie family was issued to the effect that- 

 flowers were to be omitted. This led to 

 the cancellation of orders, and stocks 

 of expensive flowers were left on the 

 hands of some of the florists. This was 

 offset in some cases by taking orders for 

 delivery to the church and to the local 

 hospitals, while the cards were sent to 

 the house. Sir John Eaton was one of 

 the greate.st flower lovers and leaders in 

 the country. His greenhouses were beau- 

 tiful and he held displays at different 

 times of the year, when all the florists' 

 organizations were invited. At such 

 times his greenhouses and gardens were 

 crowded with flower lovers. He was a 

 supporter of the flower shows and was 

 always among the leaders in the dis- 

 plays. 



The cooperative advertising is being 

 continued, with good results. In addi- 

 tion, there is considerable individual ad- 

 vertising and the results are quite satis- 

 factory. J- J- H. 



Mishawaka, Ind. — A new flower store
