The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 13, 1906. 



onion sets here will be a little larger 

 than last year. We have had a great 

 deal of rain here lately and little dig- 

 ging has been done as yet, but on the 

 whole the crop will be good quality, 

 and we are anticipating low prices on 

 the start, though sets may advance con- 

 siderably later. 



The market garden crops such as cab- 

 bage, potatoes, onions, etc., have sold 

 at very low prices this year and, gar- 

 deners being in need of money, will be 

 inclined to sell sets earlier on this ac- 

 count, and those who put them away 

 for storinpj will hold them for good stiff 

 prices. Hence sets we think will be 

 sold at very much lower prices early 

 than later in the season. 



Orchard grass crop from all reports 

 is about fifty per cent of last year 's crop 

 and growers are anticipating better 

 prices. (.. omparatively little seed has 

 been threshed as yet, owing to rain. The 

 quality will be good, though it may be 

 a little discolored. 



A combination has been effected 

 among a few men in Kentucky to con- 

 trol the price of blue grass seed this 

 season, and present asking prices are 

 very high. The new crop of this seed 

 turned out not more than half what 

 last year'H crop was, but we are not 

 expecting that the present high prices 

 asked will be maintained during the 

 season. 



Winter turf oats have turned out 

 fairly well, and we will have a good 

 many cars to ship from this market. 

 As the acreage was limited, however, 

 there will not be near so many as in 

 previous years. 



Wheat and oats generally have made 

 good crops, but threshing has been de- 

 layed. Corn is growing finely. 



Philadelphia, Pa.— J. Stern, of J. 

 Stern & Co., is now in Europe, bujdng a
