BELGIAN SHIPMENTS IMPROB- 

 ABLE. 



Our Washington representative in- 

 forms us that there seems little likli- 

 hood of American florists being able 

 to get any Belgian horticultural prod- 

 uts because of the stand taken by 

 the British and the German Govern- 

 ments, the latter declaring that it will 

 not permit exportation unless the 

 money therefore is paid into their 

 hands, while the former will not agree 

 to the release of the goods because of 

 the fact that the money may come 

 into German hands and thus be used 

 against the Allies in hostilities. Wil- 

 liam F. Gude and C. B. Knickman, on 

 Monday last, visited the State Depart- 

 ment, as well as the British and Ger- 

 men Embassies in an effort to secure 

 some relief, but they feel that their 

 visit was of little or no avail. 



On the other hand, a leading New 

 York importing house informs us that 

 their latest news from Holland — date 

 up to August 23 — gives hopes that 

 the efforts of the Chambre Syndicale 

 des Horticulteurs at Ghent will be 

 successful in obtaining the export
