FLOWER INDUSTBY IN FRANCE. 



William D. Hunter, the United States 

 consul at Nice, France, sends to Wash- 

 ington the following on the flov^er in- 

 dustry in France: 



"The Syndicat des Horticulteurs 

 gives the production of flowers in the 

 Nice district in 1909 as 7,550 tons, 

 valued at $5,790,000, the industry em- 

 iJoyiBg 18,600 persons. Two special 

 trains trmsport «these flowers daily to | 



the north, especially to Paris, London, 

 Berlin and St. Petersburg, during the 

 season. The flowers are packed in light 

 willow baskets weighing either six and 

 one-half or eleven pounds, and are for- 

 warded to their destination by parcels 

 post. The flowers cultivated for export 

 are chiefly carnations, violets and anem- 

 ones, while orange blossoms, tube- 

 roses and jasmine are most extensively 

 used in the perfume factories at 

 Grasse. The production of flowers 

 being more remunerative than farming 

 is the principal reason for the large 

 imports of dairy and farm products 

 into Nice. 



"In the flower gardens a man earns 

 about 60 cents a day and a woman 40 

 cents, and in some cases less. A girl 

 flower picker in the district of Grasse 

 earns 20 to 25 cents a day. ' ' 



DEHYDRATED VEGETABLES. 



It is said that the dehydrating of 

 vegetables, or condensing and preserv- 

 ing them by extracting the water from 

 them, is rapidly becoming recognized 

 as a practical idea, though the business 

 is still in its infancy. As one evi- 

 dence of the progress of the industry, 

 the fact is cited that early in the sum- 

 mer the Mosba?k Greenhouse Co., of 

 Onarga, HI., shipped six carloads of 

 rhubarb to the American Dehydrating 

 Co., at Waukesha, Wis., to be manu- 

 factured into the dried product, which 

 is known as Dehydro. Miss Annabelle 

 Risser, of the Mosbffik Co., recently 

 received a consignment of the rhubarb 

 in its deby4T»ted state.

which does not rob the rhubarb of anv 

 of its flavor, color or valnable natural 

 constituents, all the water is eliminated 

 from it, reducing it almost to a powder. 

 By the addition of water it is ready 

 to cook. The Waukesha firm also puts 

 up spinach and other vegetables in the 

 same manner. Uncle Sam, we are told, 

 is possibly the heaviest user of the de- 

 hydrated products, as large quantities 

 are ordered for use in the navy. They 

 are also said to be more available for 

 Polar expeditions than most other forms 

 of canned goods.
