should have an assured minimum and a 

 better price if conditions warrant it at 

 the date of delivery. 



William C. Langbridge, of the Jerome 

 B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y,, who 

 lias been seriously ill in a New York hos- 

 jntal, is reported to be convalescing. 



Nothing like the recent lack of com- 

 munication has been known since the 

 Holland salesmen began visiting America. 

 The head of a corps of eight salesmen has 

 had no mail from the house since Janu- 

 ary 10. He knows the house had 600 ' 

 ■cases of goods on the Nieuw Amsterdam 

 and had a cable that they had been trans- 

 shipped to the Waaldyk, which sailed, but 

 nothing further has been heard, either 

 from the house or from the Waaldyk. 

 Under the circumstances the travelers 

 here know little of the course of the mar- 

 kets in Holland. 



BRITAIN PROHIBITS EXPORTS. 



A cable March 13 brought word of ad- 

 ditions to the British embargo list of 

 May 10, 1916. The list of articles the 

 exportation of which to any destination 

 now is prohibited includes the following 

 seeds: Carrot, cauliflower, kohlrabi, 

 mangold, onion, parsnip, swede, turnip. 

 The exportation of raflSa also is forbid- 

 den. Palm seeds can be exported only 

 to British colonies. 



Heretofore carrot, kohlrabi, mangold, 

 onion, swede and turnip seeds could be 

 exported to British colonies. 



FRENCH BULBS. 



The Union Horticole reports that the 

 crop prospects on French bulbs are more 

 uncertain than ever before. They can- 

 not give any definite forecast of prices, 

 as they sometimes have done in previ- 

 ous years, except to say that Paper 

 White grandiflora, 13-ctm. and up, 

 probably will start selling at 30 francs 

 per thousand and white Roman hya- 

 cinths, 12 ctm. and up, at 130 francs per 

 thousand. Nothing definite, however, 

 will be known until the syndicate meets 

 sometime in April. 



Hollanders interested in the buying 

 and selling of French bulbs have until 

 now not been allowed to enter France 

 this season, which would, of course, re- 

 strict the early buying up of stocks by 

 Hollanders, and its usual driving 

 up of prices. Early buyers naturally 

 imparted a certain confidence to the 

 French growers that their stocks were 

 in good demand, and due to the absence 

 of these early buyers this year, it is 

 quite possible that .the syndicate will 

 fix the prices at a more reasonable fig- 

 ure than is now indicated.
