the new growth bends over near the

will have taken root; the new plants
can then be severed from the parent
canes and moved wherever desired.

WAR OPENS WAY FOR
ENAMEL WARE MAKERS

For the first time in the history of
their business American and Canadian
manufacturers of enameled kitchen
uleasiis nave an opportunity for the
profitable expectation of their goods.
Recently urgent inquiries have come
10 several American makers of enameled
ware from such widely separated points
as England. Australia. Cuba, South
America. Africa and China. Heretofore
the markets In these countries have
been dominated by the Germans ana
Swedish manufactures who. owing TO
lower labor costs, have been able to
undersell the American makers. Tho
war has changed the situation. Sons
German ware is still being sent out
through Holland. but the volume of
both German and Swedish exports in
these goods has been so greatly re-
duced that a number of commission
dealers in the countries named have
turned to the American manufacturers
for their supplies. Negotiations are
now under way for large shipments.
Enameled ware is made by fusing a
mixture of quartz. feldspar and sew
eral other harmless mineral ingredients
into pressed steel forms. Hand labor
enters largely into the process Of manu-
facture.
Some % manufacturers located in
many points in the United States and
Canada produce Zach year in normal
times enameled ware to the value of
about $4,000, 900. Imports Of these
goods into America usually mount TO
about 81, 200, 900 annually.
