The Florists^ Review 



Fbbeuari 4, 1915. 



the first good crop in several years and 

 practically full deliveries were made. 

 The result was that nearly all canners 

 received more peas than they need for 

 1915; some half again as many; some 

 ■enough also for 1916. And therein lies 

 the discouragement for the seedsmen; 

 there surely will come a change some 

 day, but it probably will take either a 

 short crop or some little time for the 

 l)usiness in canners' peas to get back 

 •on its previous basis. 



MORE HOLLAND BULBS. 



On the steamer Eyndam, from Rotter- 

 dam, which reached New York January 

 27, were several consignments of Dutch 

 bulbs, all of but few cases, and on the 

 following day the Sommelsdyk, from 

 the same port, brought another small 

 ■consignment. At a date when, in pre- 

 vious years, all shipments of Holland 

 bulbs were at an end, they are this 

 :season dribbling along and, though but 

 3, few each week, are making a total 

 far above all previous seasons. The 

 •consignments on the above steamers 

 were as follows:

SWEET PEA SOCIETY DAY. 



Lester L. Morse, president of the 

 American Sweet Pea Society, has been 

 advised by James A. Barr, director of 

 •congresses at the Panama-Pacific in- 

 ternational exposition, that June 4, 

 1915, the date of the society's Pacific 

 •coast exhibition, at the exposition 

 grounds, has been officially designated 

 as American Sweet Pea Society day by 

 the department of special events of the 

 exposition. 



THE FIGHT AGAINST FREE SEEDS. 



Eepresentative Young, of North 

 Dakota, led the annual futile attack 

 ■on the congressional free seed distri- 

 bution appropriation in the agricultural 

 appropriation bill. During the general 

 debate on the bill Mr. Young made a 

 speech advocating the abolition of the 

 ■distribution on the ground that it was 

 tiseless, as the farmers could buy the 

 same kind of seeds at the country store. 

 He advocated instead the distribution 

 of new and rare valuable seeds. Mr. 

 Young pointed out that it cost $252,- 

 ■000 yearly to send out the free seeds. 

 He referred to reports of recent secre- 

 taries of agriculture for a number of 

 yeara recommending its discontinuance, 

 but noted that he did not find the rec- 

 ommendation in the report of the secre- 

 tary this year. "That may be," said 

 Young, "that he has ceased to have 

 any hope or faith that Congress will 

 ■ever discontinue the distribution of 

 garden and flower seeds." 



"Do I understand you to say that 

 this money is thrown away?" asked 

 Eep. La Follette, of "Washington. * ' Does 

 not the gentleman think it brings the 

 government a little closer to thousands 

 of people who otherwise would not real- 

 ize that the government is doing any- 

 thing for them? Thousands of school 

 children are furnished seeds by mem-
