The Weekly Florists' Review* 



May 17, 1906. 



for export at £3 per bushel. Six years 

 ago the price was six shillings per 

 bushel. 



The Australian International Nursery- 

 man comments upon the subject as fol- 

 lows: Fresh matter has come to hand, 

 and we learn that a contract has been 

 arranged by Mr. Farnell, the visiting 

 magistrate for Lord Howe Island, with 

 Messrs. Sander & Sons, of Belgium, to 

 the amount of £2,000 per annum as a 

 minimum; this provides for a monopoly. 



The New South Wales Nurserymen's 

 Association is on the vim about this, but 

 we believe the action comes too late. A 

 deputation waited on Mr. Farnell, but 

 we hear it was too late to make any 

 effect. Mr. Farnell practically accepted 

 the offer on behalf of the seed collectors, 

 without consulting the Australian trade 

 whatever. Lord Howe Island is a por- 

 tion of Australia and the trade here 

 should have been well informed on such 

 a vital Australian matter. 



It means now that all future palm 

 seed for Australia must be purchased 

 from Sander & Sons, Belgium, at more 

 than double prices. 



We would suggest that if the contract 

 has only been made by the year that 

 the matter be thrashed out at the next 

 federal conference of nurserymen and 

 seedsmen, to be held in Sydney in No- 

 vember, 1906, and that the ways and 

 means be found to control this from 

 Australia, and by the Australian trade. 

 We would like all those affected to ex- 

 press their views to the whole trade 

 through this medium ; it is the only 

 means of private trade publicity. 



We put it down first that every true 

 nurseryman and seedsman desires to 

 assist his fellow tradesmen, and that 

 truly at heart they do not desire to know 

 state boundaries and trivial petty jeal- 

 ousies which have only been bred by 

 imputation. 



If trade action is now too late it can 

 be remedied for the future. Lord Howe 

 Island should be a real live asset to the 

 Australian nursery and seed trade; it 

 simply wanted a little capital and a 

 large amount of vigorous Yankee pub- 

 licity. — Horticultural Trade Journal.
