not as yet appeared in the United States. 



It is spread by using affected potatoes 

 for seed, and, as this country imports 

 considerable quantities of potatoes ev- 

 ery year, there is danger that it may be 

 introduced. 



The United States Department of Ag- 

 riculture has recently issued a circular 

 for free distribution giving a brief ac- 

 count of this disease.

The Market. 



Easter of 1910 can go on record as 

 having been a green one, for the summer- 

 like weather which prevailed the whole 

 week previous transformed the lawns into 

 a beautiful green carpet; more than that, 

 it rushed in stock, both cut flowers and 

 pot plants, in great quantities; and when 

 we consider that practically all stock 

 was sold by Easter noon it can be re- 

 ported that business was fine. In cut 

 flowers, next to lilies the greatest demand 

 was for the always more popular carna- 

 tion. The good grades in this line found 

 a ready sale, while the pickled stock and 

 poorer grades were sold for what was 

 oft'cred, or landed on the dump. It 

 might be mentioned here that the ex- 

 treme heat of the middle of the week 

 showed its effect most distinctly on En- 

 chantress, turning the outer petals pale. 

 Koses were in good supply and cleaned 

 up, but did not enjoy the popularity of 

 former years. More violets and lily of 

 the valley could have been disposed of at 

 good prices. The long-stemmed sweet 

 peas moved more quickly than the 

 shorter-stemmed ones. Long Beauties 

 were none too plentiful, as was the case 

 with cut and pot Easter lilies. 



The demand for pot plants was brisk 

 and all good stock was quickly dis- 

 posed of. 



The only article which was scarce, and 

 which has been so ever since St. Pat- 

 rick's day, was white carnations; good 

 ones brought $5 per hundred straight 

 through. Last year it was just the re- 

 verse. Bulbous stock, with the excep- 

 tion of light colored tulips, was also 

 cleaned up. 



While the warm weather was some- 

 what previous from the growers ' point 

 of view, it proved to be ideal for the 

 retail sales and for deliveries for the 

 Easter trade. 



Various Notes. 



Robert Zepnick says that he is well 

 satisfied with Easter trade. Several good
