FRENCH BULBS. 



riie syndicate for the Defense of Agii- 

 liiliural Interests held a meeting July 7 

 last at which were present many grow- 

 I'ls of bulbs. We give below a transUtion 

 iif part of the published report: 



"The general crop of flower bulbs is 

 bad. Hyacinths have increased but little 

 and grown but little. Tlie disease is 

 worse at various places, and more se- 

 vere than last year. Even narcissi, gen- 

 erally so robust and prolific, remain with- 

 nut enlargement and without increase. 

 The minimum prices fixed by the syndi- 

 cate have been observed everywhere. In 

 view of the poor crop even h'igher prices 

 are obtained, and some of the members 

 regret not having fixed the price of nar- 

 i-issi at 15 francs, which has been reached 

 at certain points. 



"Complaints have been made against 

 niany merchants who have established ar- 

 bitrary measurements for the size of free- 

 sias and it was decided that next year 

 the standard .shall be sharply exact in 

 nrder to avoid all discussion. 



"The next syndicate meeting will take 

 I)lace in August, at the end of the har- 

 vest, and then a list of prices will be 

 elaborated for next year and important 

 reforms made as to the mode of payment 

 and the suppression of strikes. The 

 meeting adjourned after having decided 

 to maintain still more energetically than 

 iver the prices fixed upon." 



Fkemont, Neb.— C. H. Green reports 

 I hat business lias held up fairly well all 

 -lunmer. His roses are extra good and 

 he has commenced cutting from the early 

 planted ones. Carnation planting is fin- 

 ished and his stock is fine, being of good 

 size and of close, firm growth. The 

 weather has been hot and dry until the 

 last two weeks, but with constant culti- 

 vation, stock has been kept growing in 

 good shape. There was a fine rain on 

 July 21. just enough to make the soil 

 fall away, like meal, from carnations 

 when lifting. Mums are extra fine, and 

 wo all look for a good season. 



Ft. Dodge, Ia. — P. L. Larson has just 

 lompleted a new house 16x12.5 and has 

 planted it in roses.
