THE DUTCH BULBS MAY COME. 



The apparent general confidence that 

 the Dutch bulbs will be shipped may 

 prove misplaced, as the international 

 situation is changing almost every Mreek. 

 After months of negotiation, the Dutch 

 and British governments reached an ac- 

 commodation that resulted in the Hol- 

 land, boats coming over with general 

 merchandise, but it develops that few 

 of them have been able to secure return 

 cargoes, and that some sixty Dutch 

 steamers now lie idle in American har- 

 bors. In addition, the government of 

 the United States recently has placed 

 an embargo on the exportation to neu- 

 tral countries of commodities that may 

 in any way serve as an aid to Germany. 

 It is said that since this embargo went 

 into effect sailings to Holland practi- 

 cally have been suspended. 



If the boats that bring the Holland 

 bulbs have little chance of securing re- 

 turn cargoes, the chances that the bulbs 

 will come are visibly reduced.

The Market. 



Market conditions are the poorest they 

 have been this year. There is not nearly 

 enough stock to supply the demands. 

 Gladioli are the most plentiful flowers, 

 but even at that only in sufficient supply 

 for funeral demands. A few good as- 

 ters are in, but they, too, are short in 

 supply. Roses are too high in price for 

 the quality offered. Perennials are not 

 so plentiful as they were a week ago. 

 Magnolia and cycas leaves are being 

 used to help fill the deficiency in cut 

 flowers. Much of the stock received in 

 this market is from Colorado. 



Various Notes. 



Brj-$(^n Ayres left for Boston to take a 

 summer "course in landscape architecture

The Humfeld-Orear Floral Co. has dis- 

 mantled its greenhouses in the rear of 

 the store building on Thirty-first street. 



John Stevens dumped between 3,000 

 and 4,000 lily plants this summer, as 

 there was little demand for them. He 

 has about half of his carnations planted. 

 Three of his men left August 4 to join 

 the army. 



The W. L. Rock Flower Co. has its car- 

 nations all planted. W. L. Rock is 

 spending two weeks in Minnesota, while 

 Hugo Neff is in Colorado. 



The George M. Kellogg Flower & 

 Plant Co. reports that business would be 

 better if more stock were obtainable. 

 Mrs. Lamb now is on her vacation. 



Arthur Newell says that the scarcity 

 of stock makes it hard to do business. 

 Miss Klein, of the force, is on her vaca- 

 tion, taking a trip to the northern lakes
