THE SALE OF FLOWERS.
FRUITERERS PROHIBITED. PROTEST FROM CANTERBURY. [BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CHRISTCHURCH, Monday. In connection with the Jaw that has been operating for some weeks prohibiting the sale of flowers, plants or seeds by fruiterers, the Canterbury Fruitgrowers' Association decided at its meeting to support a protest that is being made to the Government by the Christchurch Fruiterers' Association. A letter will be sent by the association to the Minister of Internal Affairs strongly objecting to the prohibition of the sale of flowers by fruiterers. The chairman, Mr. F. W. Sisso'n, said that now the sale of plants was in the hands of a few florists who could control the market as they pleased, prices would double as there would be no competition. The people most affected, however, were those who grew plants and flowers. There was a considerable number of growers making their living from plants and they would be deprived of their means of livelihood under the new regulations.
