The .Review's information has always been so helpful to me that I can't re- sist the impulse to "butt in" when I feel that an unsatisfactory answer has been given to a question. I refer to a letter from E. H. in The Review of November 26, asking what to plant on an acre of land in order to have cut flowers for funeral work and the market when greenhouse stock is short.
