The Florists^ Review 



Apbil 14, 1921 



Germany in 1919. The United States 

 haa been the best customer in miscel- 

 laneous garden seeds, with Germany a 

 fair second, the rest of the exports being 

 scattered over northern Europe. The 

 United States takes about sixty per 

 cent of the flower seeds and Great 

 Britain most of the remainder, while 

 the United States takes seventy-five 

 per cent of the beet seed and Italy most 

 of the remainder. 



OATALOGXTES RECEIVED. 



Alt F. Clark, Netcong, N. J.— "Abridged Dic- 

 tionary of the Dahlia for 1921," a clearly, accu- 

 rately printed 23'Page catalogue, in pocket form. 

 "Dahlia catalogues," says Mr. Clark, "as a 

 rule are more or less typographical puzzles," on 

 account of the difficulty in finding therein the 

 name of any desired variety. Therefore, instead 

 of dividing his stock into groups according to 

 type, he has nrrnnged the entire collection in 

 one continuous alphubeticui list, attaching an 

 abbreviation to the name of each variety to In- 

 dicate the class to which It belongs. A con- 

 densed wholesale list also is enclosed. 



Greenfield Tap & Die Corporation, Greenfield, 

 Mass. — "How I Fixed It," an interesting 108- 

 page booklet, illustrating and describing nu- 

 merous devices that are adapted for making 

 quick repairs. Many of the forms of apparatus 

 offered, though intended primarily for farmers, 

 would be equally serviceable to members of the 

 horticultural trades. "The farmer has learned," 

 says an Introductory paragraph, "that the little 

 jobs the blacksmith never did want to do any- 

 way, because there was no money in them for 

 him, can be done .lust as well and much more 

 quickly at home if suitable repair tools are 

 handy." In the booklet many farmers and 

 others tell about emergencies in which certain 

 of the devices were helpful. Hence the title, 

 "How I Fixed It." 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



Business is quiet following the Easter 

 rush. Those who sell seeds, plants or 

 bushes for outside planting are daily 

 increasing their sales. Prices of cut 

 flowers keep up fairly high, althougli 

 they are lower than they were at Easter. 

 The outlook, for the weeks before the 

 dull suiinnor .sciisou is for good business, 

 but without much real life to trade. 

 During a short period before Memorial 

 day, there will, of course, be consider- 

 able cemetery decoration and a large sale 

 of potted plants. 



Various Notes. 



The Washington Florists report that 

 since E.-ister business has been quiet, ex- 

 cept for cuusiderable funeral work.
