HENRY F. NCHELL CO., sis n»ket a, Philadelphia 



The demand for bulbs of Calla 83thi- 

 opica is not what it was before the God- 

 frey calla came into favor, but it is likely 

 to consume all of ^ California's crop of 

 bulbs. 



There is a feeling that some of the lily 

 bulb importers have oversold, or that they 

 have booked too much business at low 

 prices. The market for giganteums in 

 Yokohama is said to be much stronger 

 than early in the season. 



It is reported that tiie prohibitions of 

 exports in force in Denmark have been ex- 

 tended so as to apply to * * all kinds of 

 seeds, including seed tailings and seed 

 waste not formerly prohibited. ' ' Until 

 the full text is to hand, it is difficult to 

 say exactly what this may mean, but if 

 the order includes vegetable seeds, it 

 will be rather a serious matter, as the 

 American seed trade makes large pur- 

 chases from Denmark. 



Onion sets at Chicago have made a re- 

 markable growth in the last three or four 

 weeks. Showers and good rains have 

 forced growth along until now the tops 

 are quite heavy and inspections made 

 about July 20 show some sots beginning 

 to bottom, and indications in more ad- 

 vanced fields of tops going down. A week 

 or ten days of warm, dry weather now 

 would be just what the sets need to make 

 nice keeping stock. The crop under such 

 conditions will undoubtedly bo good. On 

 the other hand, much more wot weather 

 would do a good deal of damage, especial- 

 ly in fields where tops are t^o lieavy, caus- 

 ing a great deal. of rotting and spoiling 

 in the field. 



STAMP TAX ON PARCELS. 



There has como to my attention, as 

 chairman of the ])ostal laws commit- 

 tee of the American Seed Trade Associ- 

 ation, a clause which appears on page 70 

 of the War Revenue Bill, now before 

 Congress, which is known as House Res- 

 olution No. 4280. This clause reads as 

 follows: 



PARCEL POST PACKAGES. 



Upon every parcel or parkiiKc transported from 

 one point in tlie United States to another by par- 

 cel i)ost, a tax of 1 cent for each 25 cents or 

 fractional part thereof charged for sucli trans-
