The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mabch 17, 1910. 



80 far as Bermuda onion seed trade is 

 concerned. 



I have received letters from Messrs. 

 Wildpret BVos,, of Puerto-Cruz, and T. 

 M. Reid, who are old and practical grow- 

 ers, fully endorsing my preceding re- 

 marks. 



This is a timely advice that I give to 

 all American seedsmen who might have 

 been deluded by the ofifer of "choicest 

 seeds" at moderate prices, made by any 

 general commission house or general deal- 

 ers, to get all or part of their contracts 

 on onion seed for delivery next July or 

 August.

 last," or in Spanish we say, "Zapatcro 

 d tus zapatos. "

FERTILIZER MARKETS. 



The situation is becoming firmer, with 

 increased demand and large stocks of 

 fertilizer material now beginning to be 

 consumed by the southern growers. In 

 the ammoniates nitrate of soda and Sul- 

 phate of ammonia are higher. The former 

 is quoted at $2.15 for spot and $2.10 on 

 futures. On sulphate of ammonia quota- 

 tions have been advanced to $2.80 and 

 $2.85, as to grade, and these prices are 

 firm. The western abattoir markets are 

 strong at present prices for dried blood 

 and tankage. No hopes are held out for 

 any lower prices, as the kill of cattle is 

 becoming smaller and available material 

 consequently scarce. Fish scrap, both wet 

 and dry, are increasing in scarcity, and 

 advances are looked for. There is still a 

 shortage of the potash salts at southern 

 ports and prices are advancing. There is 

 no longer a schedule to go by and prices 

 are nominal and made to suit conditions. 

 Acid phosphate is showing increased ac- 

 tivity, bone likewise, and quotations are 

 very firm. The rock phosphates are still 

 in good supply, but prices are well main- 

 tained at the former range in all the de- 

 scriptions.
