48 The Florists*^ Review- julv24. ms 



it is the enthusiasm after new varieties 

 that helps to keep up the popular demand 

 for sweet peas and the chances are our 

 sweet pea shows would lack much of their 

 enthusiasm if we did not have something 

 new to show. "

THE MINNESOTA SEED LAW. 



The last legislature passed a law for 

 the regulation of the sale or exposure 

 for sale of agricultural seeds in Min- 

 nesota. It became effective July 1 and 

 provides for the labeling of agricul- 

 tural seeds in such a way as to indicate 

 the germinating power, the locality in 

 which they were grown and the dan- 

 gerous weed seeds or other impurities 

 present. 



The execution of this law is largely 

 entrusted to the University Farm Ex- 

 periment Station, where it has been 

 placed in the hands of E. M. Freeman, 

 plant pathologist, and W. L. Oswald, in 

 charge of the seed laboratory. Dr. Free- 

 man and Mr. Oswald have just prepared 

 extension bulletin 39, which states the 

 new law in full, explains its provisions, 

 makes a number of suggestions valuable 

 for seed buyers, and gives directions to 

 those who wish to have free tests made 

 by them at the university farm. 



The bulletin has just been mailed to 

 over 40,000 farmers and should be in 

 the hands of all who buy or sell agri- 

 cultural seeds in Minnesota. 



ST. LOUIS. 



Tbe Southwestern Market. 



The demand, or the lack of it, at the 

 wholesale markets shows plainly that 

 the cut flower business is down to the 

 summer level. The wholesalers say that 

 the demand last week was largely for 

 flowers for funeral work and this seems 

 to be well distributed over all parts of 

 the city. This kind of work, with a 

 little transient business, is about all the 

 trade can rely upon until the fall season 

 opens. 



The market has been short on first- 

 class roses for some time, as the hot 

 weather has made a decided difference 

 in the quality of the stock. Short stems 

 prevail on all varieties. Beauties are 

 among the best of the roses. Carna- 

 tions are in large demand, but the qual- 

 ity of the stock is poor and the supply 

 has been short all the week. Enchant- 

 ress carnations seem to be the best. 

 The great bulk of cut stock now con- 

 sists of gladioli and a glut is looked for 

 in these at the end of the week, as all 

 the local growers are sending in big 

 cuts daily. America, King and Augusta 

 are fine in quality and the price of 

 these holds up pretty well, but all other 

 varieties are down in value; the price, 

 July 21. of the three varieties named 

 was $6»^MhhiMMiM^ while others aeld •#■
