AMERICAN GROWN BULBS. 



The hyacinth, tulip, narcissus, cau- 

 ilidum and othe; bulbs from tht State 

 of Washington which created sucli a 

 sensation at the Omaha convention of 

 the S. A. F,. were forwarded, after the 

 close of the convention, to Washing- 

 ton, D, C, and President Gude took 

 early opportunity to show them to 

 Secretary Wilson and acquaint him 

 with their history. The secretary wai; 

 greatly interested and expressed his 

 willingness and desire to do anything 

 in his power to aid the society in tluMr 

 efforts to encourage the development 

 of bulb .;;rowing as a home indu-tiy. 

 By his advice, the consent of Jlr, 

 Gibhs, the grower of the bulbs, hav- 

 ing meanwhile been secured, the bulbs 

 were turned over to Mr. Wm. Saaa- 

 ders, the practical horticulturist of the 

 Department of Agriculture, to be 

 grown and flowered and a careful rec- 

 ord of results to be made. Mr. Saun- 

 ders' letter acknowledging receipt of 

 the bulbs, was as follows: 



••Wm. F. Gude. Esq.: 



•'My Dear Sir— The bulbs grown in the State 

 of Washington, which you left here for in- 

 spection of this Department, are pronounced 

 to be very good indeed, and if they can be 

 produced at a profit, it will introduce a new 

 industry into this country. 



••We will grow Iheee bulbs and you may 

 expect a further report upon them when they 

 flower. 



"Yours respectfully^ 

 (Signed)

HUNT'S REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO MAR- 

 KET. 



There has been no material change in the 

 market over preceding week. Carnations con- 

 tinue to come along in vast quantities and 

 sell very slowlv. The newer sorts clean up 

 pretty well, but Daybreak, Tidal Wave and 

 Scott suffer. 



The supply of roses has shortened up consid- 

 erably and some improvement is to be seen in 

 color. Beauties are in quite short supply, and 

 according to reports will be for some time to 



No killing frost yet and dahlias very much 

 in evidence, selling slowly at low figures. 

 Cosmos also drags, though of good quality. 

 Violets are coming more freely, but the double 

 are still below grade and lack odor, without 

 which a violet is of little value.
