The Florists' Review 



October 7, 1915. 



MOTT-LT QLEANINOS. 



The Farmer Seed & Nursery Co., of 

 Faribault, Minn., reports great success 

 with the' new white, Danish oats and 

 the Golden Jewel and Silver Jewel Dent 

 corn. These have passed the experi- 

 mental stage and should prove valuable 

 to eastern farmers. 



A member of the Thompson Bros. Co., 

 of Muscatine, la., who recently made a 

 tour of the company's farm and neigh- 

 boring farms, reports that the corn sit- 

 uation is a serious one. There has been 

 too much rain. Timothy is running 

 short in this section. 



Charles Stewart, of Stewart's Seed 

 Store, Omaha, Neb., says the local de- 

 mand for seeds has increased so great- 

 ly that he has decided to give more 

 attention to that branch of the busi- 

 ness and drop decorative stock, han- 

 dling cut flowers only. In remodeling 

 the store, greater depth and frontage 

 will greatly facilitate matters. The 

 nursery will be retained, as orders for 

 fall planting are beyond all expecta- 

 tions. This is attributed to the wet 

 summer, which has given joy to owners 

 of gardens, for such an abundance of 

 flowers has not been seen for many 

 years. Billy Sunday was here, pouring 

 hot shot into what he terms the mil- 

 dewed portion of humanity. Mr. Stew- 

 art commented that a certain insecti- 

 cide accomplishes big results on fung- 

 cussed vegetation. 



H. G. Windheim, manager of the Ne- 

 braska Seed Co., Omaha, says the 

 prospect for an average yield of seed 

 corn looks brighter because of the ab- 

 sence of frost. There may be a consid- 

 erable percentage of small kernels. 

 Trade has been good. 



The Younkerman Seed Co., of Coun- 

 cil Bluffs, la., predicts an extraordi- 

 nary demand for both seed and poultry 

 supplies next season, owing to the short- 

 age of certain stocks and close buying 

 for some time past. 



Manager Chambers, of the Griswold 

 Seed Co., Lincoln, Neb., is of the 

 opinion that, following the war, there 

 will be inquiries by European houses 

 for many of the American varieties of 

 grain, to replace the exhausted home 

 stocks. 



The Gunn Seed Co., Lincoln, is the 

 latest addition to the list of seed 

 houses. E. S. Gunn, proprietor, was for 

 many years connected with the Gris- 

 wold Seed Co. and is well known locally. 

 Mr. Gunn is much encouraged by re- 

 sults so far. 



The Chesmore-Eastlake Co., of St. 

 Joseph, Mo., has had an excellent seed 

 season. Mr. Chesmore is anxiously 

 awaiting his bulb importations. M. 



A BBITISH VIEW. 



The Holland bulb growers seem to 

 have learned a lesson last season, as 

 there appears to be an effort to protect 

 the American market, instead of cut- 

 ting it out from under the feet of those 

 who had placed advance orders, as was 

 done by cheap offers last autumn. 

 There is, of course, the disposition to 

 sell the jobber, then the jobber's cus- 

 tomers and, finally, the planter, but 

 this is so large a country that even 

 the efforts of something over 100 trav- 

 elers from Holland and the appoint>- 

 ment of numerous resident representa- 

 tives has not served to seriously em- 

 barrass the large buyers; they still can 

 sell.
