WATCH US GROW 



TO THE TRADE:-- - 



The American Bulb Co. take this opportunity, through 

 the Florists' Review, to thank their many friends for their 

 interest shown in the many letters wishing us success. 



Owing to the urgent work at hand, completing our 

 preparations, and the absence of two of our very important 

 members, Messrs. Sam Seligman and Robert Newcomb, who have 

 been in charge of our exhibit at the Houston Convention of 

 the S.A.F., we are unable to give the many letters received 

 our personal attention at this immediate time. 



Again we thank you most heartily, and further assure 

 you that the members' of the American Bulb Co. shall do all 

 in their power to prove worthy of your confidence. 



Very truly yours, 



AMERICAN BULB CO.,

realized a saving equal to their invest- 

 ment, with the price of paper advancing 

 almost daily. 



Visited Chicago: Frank H. Henry, of 

 Henry & Lee, lily bulb merchants, New 

 York. 



AccOEDiNQ to late reports, the yield of 

 onion sets at Chicago is not over one- 

 third to one-half of what was expected 

 thirty days ago. This fact, together with 

 the short acreage, means an extremely 

 short crop of onion sets and correspond- 

 ingly high prices next spring. Edward 

 Leonard, of the Leonard Seed Co., Chi- 

 cago, who has been inspecting fields dur- 

 ing the last four weeks, reports the 

 average yield will not be more than 100 

 to 150 bushels to the acre of choice, 

 small sets instead of a normal yield of 

 300 to 400 bushels to the acre, and that 

 the acreage is from twenty to thirty 

 per cent less than that of last year. 



MICHiaAK BEANS. 



One day last week John Leonard and 

 A. H. Smith, of the Leonard Seed Co., 

 Chicago, through the courtesy of Sym 

 Eagle and J. J. Thompson, of the same 

 city, were invited to the office of Mr. 

 Thompson to look over 200 bunches of 

 bean plants which he and several of 

 his coworkers and friends had pulled 

 during the preceding week on a 3,000- 

 mile automobile trip through Michigan. 

 The bean crop, as shown by these 

 plants, each bunch of which was taken 

 from a different field in every part of 

 the state, has been almost ruined by 

 the continued hot weather. Many of 

 the plants did not even show a pod. 

 Others had a few shriveled pods, but
