The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Dbcdubeb 12, 1007. 



NOTICE 



To Whom it May Concern: 



Certain parties are traveling through 

 the country purchasing Sweet Corn from 

 farmers with whom the Western Seed & 

 Irrigation Co. holds contracts for the 

 delivery of the said corn. This is to no- 

 tify all such parties - either buyer or sel- 

 ler—that the Company will prosecute to 

 the limit of the law, all parties guilty of 

 such an offense.

The Haskell Seed and Implement Co. 

 has opened at 21 South Market street, 

 Boston. 



The Texas Seed & Floral Co., Dallas, 

 do a large business in birds and gold- 

 fish, and supplies, both wholesale and 

 retail, and find a good margin of profit 

 in it. 



BoLGiANO & Son, Baltimore, are seek- 

 ing to extend their trade with southern 

 trucking sections by getting commission 

 merchants at the big markets to represent 

 them in securing orders on a commission 

 basis. 



Sales of Country Gentleman sweet 

 corn at $7 per bushel are reported and 

 $8 has been asked, but no record of a sale 

 at this price is on file. Evergreen is 

 probably worth as much as Country Gen- 

 tleman, but the holders of it have not 

 yet got their proper quota of nerve and 

 $5 for it is the maximum figure so far 

 asked. 



The flurry in canners' peas continues, 

 but, like the financial flurry, it is being 

 kept well in hand. There has been no 

 complaint that any canner has been un- 

 ablp to get what peas he has needed 

 where he was willing to pay the price, 

 and an odd car may yet be secured by 

 anyone who needs it badly. Aside from 

 the canners' favorite sorts, there will 

 probably be enough peas to go around, 

 but in all cases it is thought that prices 

 will be higher than those ruling last sea- 

 son. 



The sweet-corn growers seem to be 

 having their own troubles now. In addi- 

 tion to the bad drying weather, many 

 of the farmers with whom they have 

 contracts are selling the corn to out- 

 siders. This is unfortunate, of course, 

 but the sweet corn people are not the 

 only ones who have these things con- 

 fronting them. The pea and bean grow- 

 ers are making the same complaint, and 

 it seems to be a case of just taking the 

 medicine. 



Onion sets at tlie present time are not 

 giving anyone worry, except that the 

 whites in storage continue to fall away 

 owing to the dry rot. Yellows and reds 

 are keeping fairly well. "When the Jan- 

 uary shipments begin to go out, condi- 

 tions may change materially and by Feb- 

 ruary the situation will be known. The 

 January shipments are the ones that
