from Holland and we had an exceptional
year. In other years florists ordered a
great many bulbs direct from Holland
through the representatives of Dutch
houses, but on account of the peculiar
conditions this last season the Dutch
growers transacted business only through
well-established representative houses,
and the florists were compelled to buy
through such concerns as ours. That
gave us a larger business than usual.
More recently we had difficulty in get

More than 30 per cent. of the hosiery
worn in this country is seamless said
A. NJ. Burd. of the Burd Knitting Mills
Company. 500 Chestnut street, today. lie
explained that the machines which manu-
facture the hosiery with seams are Ger
man machines, while those used in the
manufacture of seamless hose are Ameri-
can made. He acknowledged that the
most expensive hose is made by the Ger
man process, but he attributed that to
the fad for imported goods. AS all inn
ported hose has seams. he claimed that
people thought hosiery made in this coun-
try with seams was, If not as good as
the imported. at least better than seam
less hosiery. 1--WE are trying to educate
the public" he said, "and the fact that
90 per cent. of the hose made here is
seamless shows we are making headway'
Mr.. Burd said that several small hosiery
mills in the South are closed down on
account of the dye conditions. These
mills are located in North and South Car
olina, Tennessee and Georgia.
Philadelphia, he said, Is the largest
hosiery manufacturing centre in the
United States, and Reading, Pa, ranks
next.
MIR. Burd does a large business in the
Western States, and exports much to
south Africa, Australia. and since the
war commenced, to Great Britain.
