The Weekly Florists^ Review*

SEEDSMEN , 



I want everyone that's in the market for Can- 

 taloupe seed to have a sample of my BURBBJLL 

 OEM. It's one of the best shippfng sorts. 35c 

 per lb. 



My SHBEP HEAD Cantaloupe is new and 

 will become famous when its delicate flavor and 

 good shipping qualities are known. Has not 

 rusted so far. Try some. $1.00 per lb.

The California growers are reported to 

 be holding stiff for the same prices which 

 they quoted last year. 



Onion seed values are thought to be 

 in line with last year's. The Globe sorts, 

 if anything, will be lower. 



CucuMBEB seed of the pickling varie- 

 ties looks as though it will go as high in 

 price as it did several years ago. The 

 crop is small and the demand is likely to 

 be large. 



The Barteldes concerns at Lawrence 

 and Denver have issued independent and 

 distinct catalogues this year, each an 

 improvement on anything the firm has 

 heretofore sent out. 



The holly market has stiffened up a 

 bit this week. While most holly is good 

 this year and prices have been moderate, 

 there still is considerable stock not worth 

 what is expected for it by the southern 

 consignee. 



Some varieties of the newer musk- 

 melon, usuaUy high in price, seem to be 

 overplentiful and reports have it that 

 they must come down to the level of the 

 standard sorts. Some of the standard 

 varieties are quite scarce and an advance 

 on them is looked for. 



It appears that certain seedsmen feel 

 it is permissible to pronounce the trade 

 a unit when one and the same opinion is 

 held by the Seed Trade Association, the 

 Wholesale Seedsmen's League and D. M. 

 Perry & Co. Now, that's no small com- 

 pliment to Brother Bowen.

The 1908 bean crop is far short of 

 normal, but in certain quarters it is 

 asserted that some beans have been car- 

 ried over and that a plentiful supply is 

 in sight. This may be so in some in- 

 stances, but if the year 1909 develops an 

 average demand for beans there is likely 

 to be full realization of the shortage 

 before the season is over.

The general 1909 retail catalogue of 

 C. C. Morse & Co., San Francisco, is a 

 distinct advance over its predecessors. 

 It is only a couple of years since this 

 vpell known firm of seed growers took up 

 the retail mail order business in the 

 Pacific coast territory, and their devel- 

 opment of this branch has been watched 

 with interest. The 1909 book contains 

 128 pages, within colored covers, and a 

 quite complete line now is listed, includ- 

 ing florists' plants and nursery stock as
