DUTCH FLOWEBS IN LONDON. 



Holland blooms are now being placed 

 on the English markets and in the 

 Dutch shops simultaneously, according 

 to information received by the De- 

 partment of Commerce, Washington, 

 I). C, from Trade Commissioner Howard 

 W. Adams, at The Hague. The Dutch 

 florists have adopted the expedient of 

 sending their flowers daily to the Lon- 

 don market by aerojilane. The flowers 

 are cut at night, packed early the next 

 morning and sent by automobile from 

 the Boskoop flower growing district to 

 the Waalhaven aerodrome, near Rotter- 

 dam. The flowers arrive at Croydon, 

 England, at 1:30 p. m., and from there 

 they are dispatched by automobile to 

 the London florists. About 100 kilo- 

 grams (220.46 pounds) of flowers per 

 day are to be transported in this way,

 pillar was left alive." 



INTEBESTINO IF TBUE! 



A British daily paper recently de- 

 voted considerable space to a report of 

 iin experiment in spraying. It appears 

 that the crop on fifty acres of fruit trees 

 was in danger of destruction owing to 

 the ravages of caterpillars, when the 

 owner hit upon the idea of having the 

 trees sprayed with a dry powder in- 

 secticide by means of an aeroplane. Ar- 

 rangements were made in due course 

 and the aeroplane, flying from ten to 

 twelve yards above the fruit trees, dis- 

 tributed about half a ton of insecticide. 

 Said the report: "The operation was 

 so successful that, after the whole fifty 



FILMS TO SELL TOMATOES. 



Though the land across the water is 

 spoken of as the "old country," it is 

 not so behind the times as is sometimes 

 implied. Indeed, it appears that, hor- 

 ticulturally, the folks there are, in some 

 instances, in the van. One instance is 

 that of the British Glasshouse Market- 

 ing Association, the organization of 

 which was related in these columns 

 some time since. ' The association, whose 

 object is to advertise British-grown to- 

 matoes, has prepared a film which is to 

 be a feature of its publicity campaign. 

 Description of it is thus given in the 

 Horticultural Trade- Journal: 



"The British Glasshouse Marketing 

 Association, Ltd., last week gave a pri- 

 vate press view of a film which they 

 will show in conjunction with their pub- 

 licity campaign at popular seaside re- 

 sorts and exhibitions. Viewing the film 

 and penning a review depends on the 

 individual writing it; he may approach 

 it from a humorous standpoint or other- 

 wise. To our mind the proper wav to 

 deal with 'The Love Apple' film is from 

 a standpoint of pull and cumulative 

 effect in furthering the cause of co- 

 operative publicity as applied to glass- 

 house crops. The value of this film lies 

 in the fact that it is an interesting 

 story for the ordinary film goer; it is 

 dressed in a manner that appeals to the 

 popular taste. Starting with a conven- 

 tional scene of 'hubby' off to business
