S. F. Leonard, Chicago, celebrated his 

 sixty-fifth birthday anniversary Septem- 

 ber 4. 



Carleton Childs, son of John Lewis 

 Childs, Floral Park, N. Y., has started 

 to learn the Childs business from the 

 ground up. 



Word comes to the importers, from their 

 Asiatic connectionSj that bulbs of the Chi- 

 nese sacred lilies will be one of the scarce 

 items this season. Further import orders 

 are being declined. 



A. W. CODD, president of the Success 

 i! , Seed Garden Cp., of Spokane, Wash., was 

 \ a decent vi*itoi* in San Francisco, as also 



was K. B. White, secretary of D. M, 



Ferry & Co., Detroit, Mich. 



The Holland bulb exporters for years 

 have handled French bulbs and now are 

 turning their attention to Japanese lily 

 bulbs as a means of filling in possible 

 losses of business due to war in Europe. 



The New York Produce Exchange has 

 named the following as a committee an 

 seeds to serve for one year: William 

 Jacot, Marshall H. Duryea, Ernst 

 Wehncke, O. W. F. Randolph and Charles 

 Wimmer. 



The supply of bulbs from Japan, and 

 tneir cost, will be influenced by the abil- 

 ity to secure shipping space. Japan's ex- 

 port trade is being restricted by the lack 

 of ships and the f^r there is that much 

 worse conditions are in early prospect. 



L. H. Archias, president of the 



; Archias Seed Store Corp., Sedalia, Mo., 



. recently took his three daughters, Helen, 



Marian and Buth, for a motor boat trip 



on the Missouri river. They went from 



' Sedalia to Jefferson City by rail, and by 



water to Boonville and back to Jefferson 



City. 



A GENERATION hencc, the name W. At- 

 lee Burpee will undoubtedly still be prom- 

 inent in the seed trade. This predic- 

 tion is caused by the fact that W. Atlee 

 Burpee, the third of the name, arrived at 

 the home of W. Atlee Burpee II, Phila- 

 delphia, Pa., August 17. He is a husky 

 youngster, it is said, and both he and his 

 mother are in good health. 



DUTCH BULBS HELD UP. 



Uncertainty Greater Than Ever. 



After it had seemed practically as- 

 sured that at least a largt part of a 

 normal season's supply of Dutch bulbs 

 would arrive early in September, it now 

 is open to question if any part of the 

 1917 crop will reach the trade in 

 America. 



It develops that the steamer an- 

 nounced to have sailed from Rotterdam 

 August 25, with 12,000 cases of bulbs 

 in its cargo, still is in the harbor there, 

 apparently held up by the orders of the 

 Dutch government. 



The offices of the Holland-America 

 line in this country, which had an- 

 nounce^ the sailing, have no informa- 

 tion s^ to why the vessel, supposedly 

 the Waaldyk, did not get away as 

 scheduled, but August 29 an Associated 

 Press cable from The Hague reported
