The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



August 15, 1907.

in most districts, but in some, red tulips 

 are not as fine as was expected. The 

 same may be said of some varieties of 

 double tulips. This is mainly attributed 

 to the excessive heat at the beginning of 

 May, and the frost during the latter part 

 of that month. Damage from disease is 

 reported to hyacinths and narcissi, but 

 the conditions as regards hyacinths are 

 on the whole very good. In south Hol- 

 land the narcissi are universally good, 

 and in north Holland they are also satis- 

 factory, except in one or two districts 

 where they are only fairly good.

TRADERS VISIT DARMSTADT. 



On their annual continental tour about 

 twenty-five members of the British Hor- 

 ticultural Traders' Associatiou visited 

 Darmstadt, Germany, the well-known cen- 

 ter for grass and tree seeds, July 25, 

 under the management of J. S. Brunton, 

 editor of the English Horticultural Trade 

 Journal. 



Arriving at 11 a. m., the Englishmen 

 inspected the seed establishments of Con- 

 rad Appel, under the guidance of the 

 head of that firm, L. Heyn, councilor of 

 commerce, and paid special attention to 

 the desiccating establishments for the 

 production of evergreen tree seeds, to the 

 seed cleaning and dressing department 

 and to the well-fitted seed testing labora- 

 tory of Conrad Appel. 



The gentlemen then accepted an invi- 

 tation to lunch in the hospitable home 

 of Mr. Heyn, and in the afternoon took 

 a drive round the town in carriages, dec- 

 orated with flowers, which had been ar- 

 ranged by Mr. Heyn and the garden 

 architect, Mr, Henkel. Then they visited 

 the nurseries of Mr. Henkel and the seed 

 establishments of A. Le Coq & Co. and 

 started for Frankfort-on-the-Main at 

 6:30 p. m., to visit on the following day 

 its famous palm garden.
