INDOOB BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 



Can Brussels sprouts be successfully 

 grown in a greenhouse with a day tem- 

 perature of 60 to 70 degrees and a night 

 temperature of 40 to 50 degrees? How 

 long should the crop take to mature? 

 My plants are making a vigorous 

 growth, but have shown no signs of 

 sprouts. They are fifteen or eighteen 

 inches high, strong, healthy^ and have 

 large leaves. I am located m southern 

 Wisconsin! J. R. M. 



I have never had any experience with 

 Brussels sprouts in the greenhouse. I 

 am sure, however, that vour tempera- 

 ture is about right, as they belong to 

 the cabbage family and like a lettuce 

 temperature. I think the reason that 

 they have not shown any signs of 

 sprouts is that they are not old enough. 

 Outside they are not an early vegetable, 

 by any means, and you will no doubt 

 get a crop later, but I fear they will 

 not be a paying crop, on account of 

 the southern outdoor-grown article be- 

 ing on the market by that time.

NEW YORK GROWERS ORQANIZE. 



The vegetable growers of New York 

 state convened at the College of Agri- 

 culture, at Ithaca, February 22, and de- 

 cided to organize a state association. 

 A committee was appointed on that 

 day to formulate a constitution and 

 by-laws, and report the following day. 

 This program was carried out and 

 the constitution and by-laws were 

 adopted, officers were elected, commit- 

 tees appointed, and the association is 

 now a full-fledged organization of the 

 state, ready to do business. The object 

 of the association is stated as follows: 



Article II. The object of this association shall 

 be to organize and federate the Interests of those 

 engaged in vegetable growing, to the end that 

 larger crops of constantly improving quality may 

 be grown and marketed with Increased profit. 



The constitution provides for the fol- 

 lowing committees: 



Article V. The executive committee shall con- 

 sist of the president, the secretary, and three 

 members elected at large who shall represent as 

 far as possible the different phases of the vege- 

 table industry of the state. 



Article VI. The standing committees shall be 

 as follows: Marketing, transportation, legisla- 

 tion, investigation, federation. They shall con- 

 sist of three members each, appointed by the 

 president. In appointing these committees for 

 the first time, the president shall designate one 

 member of each committee for one year, one 

 member for two years, and one member for three 

 years. Thereafter the Incoming president shall 

 appoint one member of each committee to hold 

 office for three years, or until his successor is 

 appointed. 



Special committees may be appointed by the 

 president from time to time as occasion may 

 arise. 



It is the aim of the association to in- 

 terest local organizations. To this end 

 Article VIII has been incorporated: 



ANNOONCEMENT 



- . Findlay, O., February 27, 1911. 



TO THE TRADE: 



I am getting things In shape for one of the biggest stocks of vegetable 

 plants that I have ever grown for the wholesale trade. Last season I was fully 

 300,000 short, but my greenhouses for this year are under new management, 

 Mr. Arthur Marshall, of Columbus Grove, having full charge of them. Eighty 

 bushels of sweet potatoes will be put down for plants, which will be ready to 

 ship first week in May. My tomato seed was saved from the very choicest 

 stock and I know the plants will give entire satisfaction. We shall grow a 

 large stock of peppers, eggplant, celery, cauliflower, cabbage, tomato plants 

 and asters. A full list will be published in the Florists' Review for the month 

 of April. Don't fail to read it. Mr. Marshall will book your ovMtt, large or 

 small, for anything in the plant line and ship when wanted. (3?^. '

STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



mm-) 





I.. J. 



Fruit in Fall of first year and in Spring; and Fall of second year. Better than 

 a Klondike Gold Mine. From 500 plants set in Spring of 1910 we picked, from 

 Aug. 30th to Nov. i2tb, nearly 400 quarts, which sold at 40c to 50c a quart, 

 netting us over J200 to the acre. We have the largest stock in the world of 

 "Francis." "Amencus," "Productive," and"Superb," the four best varie- 

 ties; also "Autumn" and "Pan-American." Now is the time to order these 

 plants before everybody begins to grow them. Do not invest in seeds or 

 plants of French or other worthless varieties. We are also headquarters for 

 plants of "Norwood" and "Early Ozark" Strawberries; "Plum Farmer," 

 "Idaho" and "Royal Purple" Raspberries, and all other valuable varieties of 

 Berry Plants, Grapes, Currants, Gooseberries, Asparagus, Roses, "Hastings" 

 Potatoes, etc. 38 years of experience. Catalogue free.
