The Florists^ Review 



NOTBMBEB 6, 1913. 



of home-grown vegetables over those 

 supplied by the market gardener, which 

 often have to travel long distances be- 

 fore they reach the consumer. 



"American growers and seedsmen 

 are all inclined to specialize in one par- 

 ticular line. Mr. Burpee remarked that 

 his own and many other large firms 

 handle annually from fifteen to thirty 

 tons of onion seed, and it is not un- 

 common to sell annually about two 

 tons of seed of one variety of melon, 

 or from 500 to 1,000 pounds of a pop- 

 ular strain of tomato. Sweet corn, of 

 which there are at least twenty va- 

 rieties, is reckoned by the bushel, and 

 a single house will sell from 400 to 

 1,000 bushels a year of a popular va- 

 riety. Much more seed of garden beets 

 is sold in America than in England, 

 but, on the other hand, much less is 

 handled of mangels or swedes."

Battle Creek, Mich. — The Flower 

 Shop, conducted by K. G. Kleckner at 

 179 West Main street, has been en- 

 larged and redecorated. The interior is 

 finished in white enamel, and the addi- 

 tion of mirrors, new furniture, etc., 

 greatly improves the store. Mr. Kleck- 

 ner began in this line only a year ago, 

 but the presence of the big sanitarium 

 two blocks away has brought him a big 

 trade. He gets stock daily from G. 

 Van Bochove & Bro., of Kalamazoo. 



Tuxedo Park, N. Y. — At the autumn 

 show of the Tuxedo Horticultural So- 

 ciety, William Brock, gardener for 

 Bichard Delafield, took the special prize 

 for the best dinner table decoration of 

 cut flowers and foliage, and Emil Barth, 

 gardener for Mrs. Samuel Spencer, for 

 the best basket of flowers arranged for 

 effect. A group consisting of flowering 

 Nerine undulata and Erica regerminans 

 ovata, shown by Knight & Struck, of 

 New York, attracted attention by its 

 high quality as well as by its novelty.
