bulbs yearly will remain in the hands 

 of the growers with, as a result, lower 

 prices here. 



"A meeting of bulb growers was held 

 some time ago at Haarlem, at which an 

 anti-trust committee was chosen, to 

 which were elected Jan Eocs, Heem- 

 stede; P. Bakker, Enkhuizen; L. van 

 Staalduinens, Gravenzande; J. Valker- 

 ing, Limmen, and E. Nieuwenhuis, Lisse. 



"The committee had a conference 

 with the council of the D. B. E. A. and 

 tried to convince the council that it 

 would be in the interest of both parties 

 to repeal the boycott, but the council 

 seems of opinion that they have the 

 power, and consequently the right, to 

 dictate their will, i. e., their prices and 

 their conditions to the trade at home 

 and abroad. 



"Many of the largest growers and 

 other enterprising people are now going 

 to cpen an export trade for themselves, 

 while projects are being formed — if the 

 boycott is not repealed shortly — to ar- 

 range the large yearly auction sales in 

 the different places of the bulb district, 

 to be held on consecutive days in the 

 latter part of July and the beginning of 

 August, and by advertising in the prin- 

 cipal trade papers abroad, attract buy- 

 ers from different countries and make 

 special accommodations so that they 

 may be able to handle bulbs bought 

 there in the easiest and cheapest way." 



EOEHLER IN GERMANY. 



Finds Conditions Difficult. 



How the unsettled state of Germany 

 affects the seed trade there and here is 

 described in a letter from Albert 

 Koehler, of the American Bulb Co., 

 Chicago, who was marnonod there by 

 the revolution. When it broke out, he 

 had boarded a train from Wiesbaden to 

 Hamburg, which was a wook instead of 

 one night in getting to its destination. 



Mr. Koehler writes that at present it 

 is impossible to leave Germany on ac- 

 count of the revolution. He is trying 

 to get back to Holland and from there 

 he will go to France to investigate the 

 French biilb situation and then to Eng- 

 land to investigate Manctti stock and 

 English-grown cyclamen seed. 



Prices Exceedingly High. 



Conditions in Germany, Mr. Koehler 

 states, are far from settled and much 

 more terrible than he realized before 

 he left this country. He writes that 

 prices on all commodities are extremely 

 high, especially foodstuffs and clothing, 

 because of the exchange, which makes 

 it impossible for Germany to import 

 from America at the present American 

 prices. A suit of clothing that was
