The Florists^ Review 



rt"^: 



July 8, 1916. 



is reported to have previously settled out 

 of court more than twenty cases growing 

 out of the fire and falling wall. 



The Everett B. Clark Seed Co., Green 

 Bay, Wis., recently acquired a S-passen- 

 ger touring car for business use. 



Palm seeds to the value of $8,159 were 

 among the imports passing through the 

 New York custom house last week. 



The new U. S. Department of Agri- 

 culture Farmers' Bulletin No. 676, 

 "Hard Clover Seed and Its Treatment 

 in Hulling," tells of the difference be- 

 tween commercial clover seed and that 

 gathered, hulled and cleaned by hand and 

 also the relation of certain other factors 

 to the character and size of the clover 

 seed crop. It will be of interest to all 

 studious dealers in grass seeds. 



BODDINGTON'S TO INOORPOEATE. 



At a meeting of the creditors of 

 Arthur T. Boddington, held July 1, it 

 was unanimously resolved to incorpo- 

 rate. The statement of the business 

 transacted during the last four months 

 was sufficiently favorable to warrant 

 these gentlemen in making the Arthur 

 T. Boddington Co., Inc., a permanency 

 under this new title. This incorpora- 

 tion will be without prejudice to the 

 claims of the creditors; in fact, it was 

 adopted for the purpose of safeguard- 

 ing their interest,

CHINESE SACBED LILY BULBS. 



Consul Maynard, at Amoy, China, 

 has sent to the Department of Com- 

 merce the following report on the nar- 

 cissus bulb trade: 



"The only article of export from this 

 district to the mainland of the United 

 States is the narcissus bulb. For many 

 years large shipments were made dur- 

 ing the summer months. As Amoy is 

 the only source of supply of this par- 

 ticular variety of bulb, and the de- 

 mand has been increasing, the planters 

 have enjoyed great prosperity. There 

 has been a sharp advance in prices 

 each year, until in 1914 the growers 

 held out for a price beyond a point 

 that could be met by the buyers, and 

 a complete deadlock resulted. Because 

 both sides remained firm, the shipments 

 in 1914 considerably decreased, and the 

 bulk of the harvest was thrown away. 

 A similar situation exists at present 

 and there is little prospect of an agree- 

 ment being reached. It is anticipated 

 that there will be practically no ship- 

 ments in 1915. Much smaller areas 

 were planted, and it is doubtful if the 

 shipments would be normal even if an 

 agreement could be reached between 

 the growers and buyers. The situation 

 is unfortunate, since the planters are 

 apparently ruining a business of great 

 promise. The cost of growing the 

 bulbs has not increased and there 

 would still be a good profit at the 

 price that ruled three or four years 

 ago. The present prices are more than 

 double that amount, and it is there- 

 fore difficult to understand the point 

 of view of the farmers." E. H. P.
