The Florists' Review 



NOTXMBBR 6, 1918. 



Re-Orders 

 That 



^TT A great part of our business is coming on re-orders. Some of the largest 

 "I and shrewdest growers in the country have " come back " for their second 

 and third lot. Among them are Gude Bros. Co., Washington. D. C. the 

 leading florists of the Southland. In 1911 they ordered three pkts. of seed of my 

 famous 8ilv«r Pink Snapdragon. In 1912 they had three pkts. more, and 

 last week came an order for 1000 plants and three pkts. of seed. What is good 

 for the large grower is better for the smaller grower. Sow seed at once for 

 blossoms from spring until July* which includes Memorial Day. 



Price of seed, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 pkts., $2.60; 7 pkts., $5.00, by mail for cash.

their products last season. Many of 

 them believe that they can obtain bet- 

 ter prices by individual marketing, or 

 in selling their products to the repre- 

 sentatives of commission men on the 

 ground. The conditions are such that 

 no increased demand for seeds can be 

 expected for the planting season now 

 close at hand. The business of seeds- 

 men in the section has increased enor- 

 mously of late. 



INTEEVIBW WITH ME. BUBFEE. 



When W. Atlee Burpee was in Lon- 

 don last June he was interviewed by 

 a representative of the Gardeners' 

 Chronicle, which publication printed the 

 interview with Mr. Burpte 's portrait in 

 its issue of October 11. Only a part of 

 the talk was on seed trade subjects, 

 but among other things Mr. Burpee is 

 quoted as saying: 



"Mr. Burpee remarked that many of 

 the main differences between horticul- 

 ture here and in America are caused 

 by differences of climate, while cus- 

 tom also accounts for some. The sea- 

 sons in America are much quicker. Of 

 peas, for instance, weekly sowings are 

 made in all large establishments, on 

 account of the crops being over so soon. 

 In the case of beet roots, a favorite 

 garden vegetable in America, sowings 

 are made every two or three weeks, 

 the roots being pulled when little over 

 an inch in diameter. All salad veg- 

 etables have to be treated in the same 

 way. 'Your English tomatoes,' contin- 

 ued Mr. Burpee, 'are too small and 

 seedy. In America large fruits are de- 

 manded, almost seedless, and with 

 solid flesh, to cut up in thick slices. 

 On the whole, the three most popular 

 vegetables are sweet corn, Lima beans 

 and eggplant fruits.' These latter are 

 almost unknown in England; sliced and 

 fried, they are delicious. 'Here, 

 again,' added Mr. Burpee, 'the ques- 

 tion is largely one of climate. On 

 your side I can give you an examplo 

 the other way. Your early cabbages 

 and green gooseberries appeal to me 

 strongly, but we cannot get them in 

 America. The flavor of your early 

 green cabbages is superb.' 



' ' There is now in the states a larger 

 and growing demand for the finer 

 ^^^rains of flower and vegetable seeds. 

 Thfevm^Aet gardeners' seed is selected 

 for prolific, sure-cropping qualities, 

 whereas the private grower, who is 

 prepared to take more pains with his 

 crops, is beginning to demand a higher 

 grade and finer quality in his produce. 

 The large seed houses eocourag* th^ 

 demand, and are doing all they can 

 ,to induoe private pe«ple to grow theii 

 own vegetables. This is all the easier, 

 on account of the marked superiority
