Jolt 27, 1911. 



The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Is 



stationery on which the disclaimer ap- 

 pears just below where the typewriter 

 puts the words "Dear Sirs." 



President Page, in his annual ad- 

 dress to the Seed Trade Association at 

 the Marblehead convention, referred 

 to the importance of this point and 

 there was a general discussion of it, 

 with the result that a committee con- 

 sisting of Curtis Nye Smith, attorney 

 for the association; Kirby B. "White, 

 of D. M. Ferry & Co., and S. F. Leon- 

 ard, of Leonard Seed Co., was ap- 

 pointed to consider and report direct 

 to the members through Secretary Ken- 

 del on the need for the general adop- 

 tion of the new position for the dis- 

 claimer. 



That other trades are adopting the 

 conspicuous position for the disclaimer 

 and statement of business terms is 

 shown by the accompanying photo- 

 grapic reproduction of a coal dealers' 

 letter-head which reached The Review 

 "l*st week.

ESSEX SEED CBOFS. 



In Essex, that great seed growing 

 center in England, the crops hold out 

 fair promise for the harvest. There 

 was dry weather early in the season, 

 followed by unusual heat in July, but 

 sweet peas in particular appear to have 

 profited by the conditions, and the crop 

 will be the best for several years. The 

 acreage of cabbage, an important crop, 

 is less than it usually is, and the av- 

 erage yield per plant will be light. No 

 more than a light crop of beet is ex- 

 pected, with average crops of turnips. 

 Parsnips promise only a light crop and 

 the seed is in demand, consequent upon 

 a shortage in other sections. Parsley 

 and carrot also will be below require- 

 ments and are being held at stiff prices. 

 Of radish not more than three-fourths 

 of a full crop is expected. Peas ripened
