The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 4, 1915. 



qoordiuate body, the House of Repre- 

 aentatives. Although in the last three 

 agricultural appropriation bills the 

 Senate committee has tried to cut out 

 this practice, the Senate has overruled 

 the committee and voted for the con- 

 tinuance of the distribution. That 

 faithful champion of the people, Sen- 

 ator James E. Martine, of New Jersey, 

 accomplished the downfall of the com- 

 nuttee this year. He moved to disa- 

 g^ree to the committee amendment 

 striking out the $252,000 appropriation 

 for the distribution, which was adopted 

 by a vote of 36 to 21, the appropria- 

 tion thus remaining in the bill as 

 adopted by the House.

IN THE VALLEY OF THE RHINE. 



Conrad Appel, whose establishment 

 in the valley of the Rhine has dealt 

 in grass, clover and tree seeds since 

 1789, sent the following under date of 

 January 25: 



"On account of the cruel war in Eu- 

 rQpg, the harvesting of all sorts of seeds 

 was heavily delayed and diminished, 

 ijspecially the deciduous tree seeds, 

 which are usually collected in August, 

 are in short supply, while the new crop 

 of cones of the various home-grown 

 evergreen tree seeds is at present 

 brought in under difficult conditions, as 

 part of my trusted gatherers are with 

 the army. We have, therefore, to reck- 

 on with only small quantities of all 

 species and the stocks may soon be dis- 

 posed of. 



"As the direct cable communication 

 between the States and Germany is in- 

 terrupted, I will thank you to address 

 all telegrams to my agents, who will 

 promptly forward them to me with- 

 out delay through the intervention of 

 a Rotterdam dealer. I wish to point 

 .out particularly, that I am able to make 

 prompt shipment via neutral ports and 

 that the war does not interfere in any 

 way with my export business. All my 

 grass seed consignments during the last 

 few months reached the port of New 

 York safely and with the usual prompt- 

 ness.
