are overloaded with the cut flowers, 

 prices being so low that they do not 

 aflFord any temptation to take on more 

 bulbs for forcing, even if offered at 

 two-thirds the prices which were de- 

 manded earlier in the season. 



DUTCH BULBS STILL OOMINa. 



Although in previous years Novem- 

 ber has seen the close of the import 

 season of Holland-grown bulbs, this 

 year the shipments continue into De- 

 cember. A Rotterdam steamer which 

 arrived at New York December 2 dis- 

 charged more than 1,200 cases of bulbs, 

 in addition to large consignments of 

 trees, shrubs and plants, some of which 

 undoubtedly are of Belgian origin. The 

 total number of cases of bulbs received 

 to date now is greatly in excess of the 

 total for 1915, which, in turn, exceeded 

 that of 1914. Following are the con- 

 signees of last week's arrival, as given 

 in New York customhouse papers:

LIST OF SURPLUS STOCK AT REDUCED PRICES 



AS TO DUTCH BULBS. 



The Dutch bulb imports this season 

 have exceeded 47,000 cases, according 

 to the records of the New York custom- 

 house, where last year the imports 

 through that port of entry were only 

 35,000 cases. The difference of over 

 thirty per cent represents the greatest 

 increase of any one year in the history 

 of the bulb trade in America. 



Of course a large part of the increase 

 has been due to the action of the Brit- 

 ish government in prohibiting the send- 

 ing of bulbs from Holland to England, 

 but the bulb importing season came just 

 at a time when the trade in America 

 was ready to take hold of almost any- 

 thing that looked like salable stock. 

 The result was that many dealers in 

 this country bought more heavily than 

 they should. Today there are consider- 

 able surpluses in the east, although 

 western jobbers are well cleaned up. 



Where early in the season stock was 

 going out as fast as it was received and 

 wholesale dealers were steadily behind 

 their orders, the rapid approach of the 

 end of the season makes it appear that 

 some of the late arrivals might better 

 have remained in Holland. It will have 

 a tendency to make buyers cautious 

 about 1917 orders. 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



George Tait & Sons, of Norfolk, Va., 

 state that in all their long experience 

 it was never harder than now to live 

 up to their trade-mark of "Thorough- 

 bred Seeds." Manager J. T. Moreland, 

 who had just returned from a business 

 tour of the east and Canadian growing 

 districts, mentioned especially spinach, 

 which is one of the largest crops grown 

 in this region. The seed harvested in 

 California here produces leaves that 

 will not "blister" and pack poorly, re-
