DUTCH BULB IMPORTS LARGE. 



The two Rotterdam steamers that 

 docked at New York September 18 dis- 

 charged more than 16,000 cases of Dutch 

 bulbs, according to the manifests on 

 file at the New York customhouse, the 

 total for the two boats being almost 

 four times as large as all previous ship- 

 ments combined. The manifest of one 

 of the vessels showed that its entire 

 cargo was composed of Dutch bulbs. 

 The aggregate of all the shipments 

 received to date this year at New 

 York now is about equal to the total 

 of the shipments received up to the 

 corresponding date last year. The fol- 

 lowing were consignees of last week's 

 shipments:

The Market. 



The weather continues pleasant, but 

 the niglits'are cooler and everything 

 seems to indicate that it will not be 

 long before frost puts an end to stock 

 growing outdoors. Although no one is 

 rushed or overworked, business cannot 

 lie complained of.

Dahli^8 are arriving in large quanti- 

 ties and the quality was never better. 

 If it were not for these, flowers would 

 be rather scarce, as the supply of roses, 

 carnations, etc., is rather short. The 

 earlier varieties of chrysanthemums 

 will begin to come along in ten days or 

 two weeks. 



Various Notes. 



Having no business of special im- 

 portance to transact, the September 

 meeting of the Knoxville norists' So- 

 ciety was omitted. 



Karl I'. Baum, president of the Ten- 

 nessee State Florists' Association, 

 called a meeting of the officers of the 

 association at Nashville, September 21. 

 The object of this meeting was to make 

 arrangements and form plans for the 

 annual meeting and flower show, which 

 will be held at Nashville the last week 

 of .January, 1917. He reports seeing 

 some fine carnations and roses in the 

 various greenhouses at Nashville. 



A. H. Dailey has remodeled the in- 

 terior of his store and added greatly 

 to its attractiveness. 



Charles L. Baum, Eoy Baum, Floyd 

 Baum and Gruder Chesney took a trip 

 to Bristol, Tenn., recently, going by 

 way of Greeneville and .Tohnson City. 

 They visited the Greeneville Floral Co., 

 of Greeneville; Gunnar Teilmann, of 

 •Johnson City, and the Bristol Floral 

 Co., of Bristol. The trip was made in 



Mr. Baum's new car. Mr. Baum is 

 cutting quite a number of cattleyas, 

 which are bringing good prices. There 

 evidently is a scarcity of these, as they 

 bring $1 each on the Chicago wholesale 

 market, compared with 35c each dur- 

 ing the same period of last year. 



The C. W. Crouch Co. is looking for- 

 ward to a much busier fall season, 

 owing to the large number of promi- 

 nent weddings that will take place in 

 the near future. R. E. M. 



ROCHESTER, N. H. 



The display in the floral court at the 

 Rochester, N. H., fair, which was held 

 September 19 to 22, was better than 

 ever before. The dahlia specialists, in- 

 cluding George H. Walker, of Dighton, 

 Mass.; J. K. Alexander and W. P. 

 Lothrop, East Bridgewater, Mass., and 

 Mrs. H. M. Walker, Kittery Point, Me., 

 made extensive displays. H. E. Meader, 

 of Dover, N. H., had the finest gladiolus 

 display. In his collection were some 

 good seedlings. W. P. Lothrop and 

 .T. K. Alexander also made large gladi- 

 olus exhibits. H. E. Meader won in the 

 rose, carnation, basket and wreath 

 classes. Perfect weather prevailed 

 throughout the fair and attendance rec- 

 ords were broken. W. N. Craig, of 

 Brookline, Mass., was judge f^f the floral 

 court. W. N. C.
