The Weekly Florists' Review. 



December 15, 1910. 



Red Turnip is moved up to 90 cents 

 from 75 cents last year; Crimson Globe 

 from 65 cents to 75 cents, Extra Early 

 Eclipse from 60 to 65 cents, and others 

 in proportion. Southport White and 

 Yellow Globe onions remain unchanged, 

 at $3.25 and $1.75 per pound, respec- 

 tively. While Red Globe is cut down to 

 $1.50. Wethersfield is reduced to $1.65. 

 Cauliflowers are unchanged. The early 

 pointed-headed cabbages are unchanged, 

 but All Head Early is $2.50 per pound 

 as against $1.75 last year; Danish Ball 

 Head is $1 a quarter pound as against 

 85 cents last year; Surehead is $2, 

 against $1.75 in 1910, and Succession is 

 advanced from $2 to $2.50. Celeries 

 get a good lift, Golden Self-blanching, 

 French grown, to 75 cents an ounce, 

 and American grown to 50 cents. Rad- 

 ishes stand about as last year, but Scar- 

 let Turnip White- Tipped is 65' cents per 

 pound and Early Snowball also gets 10 

 cents advance. Champion Moss Curled 

 and Hamburg, or Turnip Rooted, pars- 

 ley are advanced 20 cents to 75 cents 

 per pound, while' Fine Double Curled 

 gets only 10 cents lift, to 65 cents. 

 Sweet corn remains at about last year 's 

 prices. There is a slight advance in 

 cucumbers, but cantaloupes stand at 

 last year's prices. The changes on 

 tomatoes are reductions. 



When the 1911 catalogues are all out 

 it seems likely the planters will be 

 found buying their seeds proportion- 

 ately a good deal cheaper than the 

 seedsmen bought them.
