AKEBIOAN SEED TBADE ASSOOIATIOV. 

 President, Klrby B. "White, Detroit, Mich.; 

 Becret ary-TreftBurer, 0. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. 



Carx, Brandt, of Sabin, N. D., for 

 eight years has been in the business of 

 growing and shipping Eed Eiver Valley 

 seed potatoes. 



On the Bermudian, which arrived at 

 New York July 13, from Hamilton, there 

 were only eight cases of bulbs, where a 

 considerable shipment had been expected. 



Howard M. Earl, commenting on 

 early closing during the summer months, 

 says: "It might be of interest to you 

 to know that W. Atlee Burpee & Co. are 

 following the plan of last year and at 

 our Philadelphia oflBce we will be closed 

 all day Saturday during July and Au- 

 gust. ' ' 



It seems apparent that, while the 

 shortage of French bulbs may be exag- 

 gerated, as such things usually are, many 

 orders will not be filled. The man who 

 placed his requirements at low prices with 

 some Holland house that thus secured his 

 order for Dutch bulbs is lucky if he gets 

 his French order filled even in part. He 

 will get his Dutch stock all right; there's 

 plenty of that. 



A LETTER FROM OLLIOULES. 



In The Review I have always fol- 

 lowed your reports from France and it 

 might be of interest to know the situa- 

 tion here, as we are now able to see 

 it after the bulbs are lifted. 



The crop is bad, on account of the 

 dry weather, and it is quite, certain 

 that a large percentage of the orders 

 will not be filled. Several exporters 

 have notified their customers that they 

 are forced to reduce the orders by at 

 least twenty-five per cent and, in order 

 to obtain even a reduced quantity, bulbs 

 are purchased from twelve centimeters 

 and up, which is below the size pur- 

 chased other years. Prices have gone 

 up considerably and many who have 

 postponed ordering will be unable to 

 obtain the bulbs. 



Especially the crop of Roman hy- 

 acinths is bad and other bulbs, such 

 as Grand Soleil d'Or, Trumpet Major, 

 etc., are not to be had any more. 



There is a shortage of labor and many 

 bulbs which were not lifted last season 

 are unfit for sale, which most likely 

 will make the situation for 1917 even 

 more grave than at present.

"EUREKA" CLOVER. 



Under the name "Eureka" clover 

 there is being advertised a forage plant 

 for which enormous yields of green fod- 

 der are asserted. According to the U. 

 S. Department of Agriculture, the plant 

 in question is sachaline (Polygonum 

 sachalinense), introduced into the United 

 States in 1883 and much exploited in 

 1893 and for a few years thereafter.
