WAR HAS HURT AND
HELPED FLOWERS

BERLIN, Sept. 29.-The war has
brought great difficulties to the flower
growers of Germany-but also great
opportunities For years France and
Italy have been the chief markets for
cut flowers and even the duties i'm
posed by Germany have not protected
the native merchants.
At the recent annual meeting of the
various gardening associations
throughout the empire, it was resol7-
ed to ask the government to make
special efforts to keep out of Germany
during the coming winter any cuc
flowers that might otherwise find their
way in, via Switzerland, from either
France or Italy.
Belgium, however, also grows flow
ers in great quantities. The flower
growers therefore decided to urge on
the government a duty to protect the
against competition from this quarter
after agreeing that it was urgently
necessary.
The members of the association
represented agreed to undertake to
decorate the graves of callen soldiers
through volunteer decorations Of
flowers.
