The Florists' Review 



Afbil 15, 1915. 



year's 1915 European harvest. Here, 

 too, the values should rise at once on 

 many seeds. - 



"A man who does not understand 

 seed growing conditions might say: 

 'Why! bless my soul! America can 

 produce anything in the seed line that 

 the rest of the world can raise, and it 

 can produce ten times as much as has 

 been raised in the past.' To this we 

 would say: 'Quite so, but it takes time 

 for the farmer to get a move on, it 

 takes time for him to get select seed 

 to plant, it takes time for him to ac- 

 quire information so that his seed prod- 

 uct when it is raised will carry with it 

 sufficient confidence to make it worth 

 a cent a pound; it takes time for him 

 to assemble tools and other appliances 

 and requisites to do the business. Un- 

 doubtedly it can be done, but it will 

 take two or three years to get into 

 operation. It cannot be done in one 

 year. Don't let enthusiastic persons 

 deceive you. 



"The California men, and they know 

 something of the seed business, have 

 been trying to raise carrot seed for 

 several years, but it is still so bad that 

 no one wants it the second ti^e. It is 

 bad, bad, bad, and just the sjune with 

 radish seed. Last year the largest 

 grower of radish seed on the California 

 coast told us, in a letter which we have 

 before us, that if we wanted to get 

 dependable radish seed, not to get it 

 from California. Yet California seed 

 will be largely used to fill shortages; 

 shortages both of radish and of carrot. 

 But what of other things which the 

 -Calif ornians do not growf Really, it 

 looks as if a great many seeds before 

 long will be worth two prices, and next 

 winter and the year after possibly some 

 of them will not be obtainable at any 

 price."
