The Florists' Review

The KENILWORTH Giant Pansy 



seeds are all grown by myself and are offered in the following mixtures and 

 separate colors: 



KENILWORTH STRAIN— The flowers are of perfect form and substance; 

 many of the immense flowers are from 3J^ to 4 inches; it is a striking 

 collection of beautiful colors and markings, rich with shades of red, 

 brown, bronze, mahogany and many others too numerous to mention. 

 Light, Medium or Dark Mixtures. 



KENILWORTH SHOW — An extra fine strain of large flowers; the 

 immense flowers are of circular form and great substance; a beautiful 

 collection of colors and markings. 



KENILWORTH CUT FLOWER MIXTURE — Is a distinct class by 

 itself, surpassing all other strains as a cut flower or for exhibition pur- 

 poses, for inside or outside growing; the large flowers are carried erect 

 above the foliage on heavy stems, 7 or 8 inches long, in the most grace- 

 ful manner, and stand the hot, dry weather wtll. 



MASTERPIECE — A remarkable type; the curled, wavy petals giving the 

 flower a double appearance, its large flowers of great substance, on 

 long, strong stem. 



ORCHID FLOWERED, Mixed— A dwarf free bloomer with a range of 

 delicate colors that do not exist in any other pansies, a remarkable com- 

 bination of light rose, shell pink, blush mauve, fawn, light brown, 

 orange and chamois.

The New Upright Pansy 



This strain is entirely distinct from all 

 others. It is absolutely compart, upright 

 growing, and extremely weather-proof, 

 enduring many storms Without damage to 

 its flower. The flowers are mostly blotched 

 and frilled like the Masterpiece, of good 

 form and heavy velvety texture, on heavy 

 stems carried well above the foliage. At- 

 tractive by the brilliancy of its colors.

 each had a representative present. The 

 meetings were conducted by the state 

 seed inspector. Half -day sessions were 

 held for a week and a splendid oppor- 

 tunity was given to discuss the Minne- 

 sota seed laws in every detail. The 

 seed inspector stated that the week's 

 work was most valuable to him and 

 that, after having an opportunity of 

 talking to so many of the seedsmen, he 

 realized some of the difficulties with 

 which the seed merchant had to contend. 



Law Changes This Tear. 



During the year new weight and 

 measure laws have been made eflfective 

 in various states. A bushel of peas in 

 Iowa now calls for sixty pounds, regard- 

 less of whether they are smooth or wrin- 

 kled peas. In Minnesota the law calls 

 for sixty pounds of smooth peas and 

 fifty-six pounds of wrinkled sorts. In 

 Pennsylvania all peas are classed at 

 sixty pounds per bushel. I only cite 

 this one commodity to show the difficul- 

 ties the seedsmen have to contend with. 

 A national weight and measure act 

 would be desirable, but better still, I 

 think that the seed trade as a body 

 should discontinue offering seeds by 

 measure and adopt the cental system. 



While the new parcel post rates are 

 not entirely agreeable to all, especially 

 those mailing large catalogues, on the 

 whole the seed trade is to be congratu- 

 lated in securing the rates now in ef- 

 fect. 



The seedsmen 's disclaimer or non- 

 warranty clause has again been upheld 

 by the courts. The latest decision was 

 handed down by the Supreme Court of 

 Wisconain. This court maintains that

the custom is universal among seeds- 

 men and establishes the fact that all 

 purchasers of seeds are bound to take 

 note of the conditions under which 

 those seeds are sold. The court further 

 states that if seed houses warranted 

 their seeds they would have to sell at 

 a much higher price than if no war- 

 ranty were given.

 That Curtis Nye Smith be em-

(2) That a press committee be ap- 

 pointed. The reason for this is because 

 of the many articles appearing in news- 

 papers, magazines and other publica-

 to our interests. With a committee to 

 censor these articles, much good could
