 and the retailer. 



Various Notes. 



The Spokane Greenhouses, Inc., re- 

 port that while Mothers' day caught 

 their carnations just a little off crop, 

 Memorial day will just hit them right. 

 This concern ranks among the best 

 growers of cyclamen in this section; 

 J. F. Austin says that several of their 

 shipments of seedlings have brought 

 large repeat orders. 



Donart & Louis are sending in some 

 fine pink gladioli from their Coeur 

 d'Alene greenhouses. They are busy 

 these days with a crop of cucumbers, 

 which they dispose of through Spokane 

 commission houses. White Spine and 

 the English varieties are grown. 



Olsson & Bernson have been busy fill- 

 ing plant boxes for department stores. 

 They also have a contract for thirty- 

 six hanging baskets for the Davenport 

 hotel. 



John Lindbloom has left A. J. Burt 

 and gone to Portland. Louis Halle, for- 

 merly with Henry Reimers, now has 

 charge of the Burt greenhouses.

BELGIAN GRAPES. 



According to United States Consul 

 Charles Roy Nesmith, of Brussels, Bel- 

 gian grape growers of experience and 

 responsibility are seriously considering 

 the establishment of American green- 

 houses and the introduction of Belgian 

 methods here, rather than shipping their 

 home-grown product across the water 

 as they do now. "Belgian growers of 

 greenhouse grapes who have visited the 

 United States," he says, "consider the 

 methods used in Belgium for growing 

 grapes, and especially the construction 

 of the buildings and the system of heat- 

 ing, far superior to the American w&y. 



"At present transportation facilities 

 between Belgium and the United States 

 are entirely insufficient on the steam- 

 ers sailing from Antwerp, about thirty 

 miles away. All the available refrig- 

 erator space has been taken by a few 

 growers, and other exporters of green- 

 house grapes are compelled to ship by 

 way of Rotterdam or by steamer from 

 Antwerp to Southampton, and. then by 

 steamer to New York. One grower 

 gave it as his opinion that ten times 

 the quantity of grapes now sold in the 

 United States could easily be disposed 

 of if they could be delivered, and all 

 the shippers agree that there is no dif- 

 ficulty in finding a market for their 

 grapes. 



"This industry first started at Hoey- 

 laert, Belgium, fifty years ago and has 

 developed steadily. Now there are 

 15,000 houses in which grapes are 

 grown, and the total annual produc- 

 tion is 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 kilos (8,- 

 818,500 to 11,023,100 pounds). New 

 houses are being constructed each year 

 and the industry is becoming more and 

 more important. 



"The Belgian statistics show exports 

 of these grapes to the different coun- 

 tries in 1912 as follows, in pounds: To 

 ..England, 1,043,227; Germany, 317,466; 

 United States, 211,203; Netherlands, 

 100,090; France, 3,968; other coimtries, 

 40,786; total,. 1,716,740 pounds. The 

 consular records show that in 1912 the 

 exports of grapes invoiced at the Brus- 

 sels consulate general for shipment to 

 the United States aggregated $64,977. 

 In 1913 the declared exports of grap«fl 

 from this district to the United States
