The Florists' Review 





March 18, 1815. 



Easy to Grow 



and Produce Easy Money 



Plant right between your carnation plants 

 and watch the surprising results of $1.00 

 per plant. "BEST YET" is also a 

 wonderful tomato for garden culture. 

 You will be sure of good results by using 

 plants for indoor forcing and seed for out- 

 door culture. 



Trade packet seed. $1.00 postpaid. 

 Transplanted plants, ready now, $1.(0 per 

 doz.; $6.00 per 10(; $60.00 per 1000, pre- 

 paid. 

 Cultural circulars go with each order.

TOMATOES (Bonny Best) TOMATOES 



Most prolific for forcing or outside crop. Size and color are right. Will produce double the fruit of any other tomato in existence. 

 No trick in growing tomatoes; just plant them, tie and run them to single or two stems; keep side shoots out; no hand fertilizing 

 needed. That isn't all— try this in your carnation benches. They will make you money. No higher temperature needed.

 Russian rubles (1 ruble equals $0,515) 

 and weights be given in Russian poods

THE APPROPRIATIONS FOR 1916. 



As finally passed by Congress and 

 made a law by the signature of the 

 President, the agricultural appropria- 

 tion bill carries an item of $252,540 for 

 the congressional free seed distribution; 

 $28,700 for studying and testing com- 

 mercial seeds; $70,400 for investiga- 

 tions in foreign seed and plant intro- 

 duction; $119,920 for test and distribu- 

 tion of new and rare seeds and $50,000 

 for the enforcement of the plant quar- 

 antine act. P. 



WARNS POTATO PLANTERS. 



Truck growers who annually plant a 

 considerable acreage of potatoes are 

 warned by the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture that there was, January 1, 

 1915, a much larger supply of northern- 

 grown potatoes in the hands of growers 

 and dealers than was the case January 

 1, 1914. Experience has demonstrated 

 that a large holdover crop of northern- 

 grown potatoes which is in good condi- 

 tion and selling at a reasonable price 

 when the early truck crop potatoes 

 reach the market means low" prices, 

 sometimes so low that the shipment of 

 such crops nets a loss to the grower. 



With 43,000,000 more bushels of po- 

 tatoes in sight January 1, 1915, than 

 were available at the same time last 

 year, and with a 1915 price of 43 cents 

 as compared with 66 cents a year ago, 

 there is little hope that the conditions 

 will be better this year. The price now 

 is just about one-third less than it was 

 a year ago. The distribution of the 

 crop is much better than last season, 

 so there is little likelihood that tlie 

 price of holdover stock will reach last 

 year's mark, even by the end of the 

 storage period.

STEAWBEEEY FOR FORCING. 



I would like to know what variety 

 of strawberry is best to grow under 

 glass through the winter. We are 

 growing Dunlap this winter, but the 

 first lot did not get on well; the fruit 

 stems rotted off at the crown. Will 

 plants taken from the nursery this 

 spring and grown in pots through the 

 summer and fall do just as well as pot- 

 layered runners in July?
