THE WAALDYK ARRIVES 



Holland Bulbs Come. 



After many delays and much un- 

 certainty as to the date of sailing, the 

 Holland-America line steamer Waaldyk, 

 laden with a cargo of 26,000 cases of 

 Dutch bulbs, arrived safely in New 

 York harbor September 25. However, 

 the American consignees of the cargo 

 were unable to secure at onee their 

 shares of the shipment, owing to the 

 fact that the British authorities at 

 Halifax removed the mail the steamer 

 carried, in which were the bills of 

 lading. 



Maltus & Ware, New York brokers 

 and forwarding agents, to whom were 

 consigned more than 10,000 cases of the 

 Waaldyk 's cargo, at once communicated 

 with Secretary of State Lansing, asking 

 him to use his influence with the British 

 authorities at Halifax to secure a 

 release of the consignees' mail. In sup- 

 port of the request, it was declared that 

 the bulbs are perishable and that more 

 than 3,000 importers would be discom- 

 moded by the delay, if they did not suf- 

 fer actual loss. 



Second Ship Due Soon 



The Waaldyk will be followed with- 

 in a short time by the steamer Schiedyk, 

 carrying a cargo composed principally 

 of bulbs. While no date for the sail- 

 ing of the latter steamer was given, 

 cable advices from The Hague to the 

 Xew York office of a Holland bulb ex- 

 porter asserted that the ship "will 

 sail." Later it was reported among 

 New York forwarding agents that the 

 vessel had left Rotterdam Septeml)er 

 21. The trip of the Waaldyk consumed 

 about twenty days. The Schiedyk 

 should make a little better time and 

 will l)e due in New York about October 

 8 to in. The two vessels bring nearly 

 as many bulbs as were imported last 

 year. 



While the bulbs are one or two weeks 

 later than usual, it is declared that the 

 quality is better for the delay. The 

 bulbs had a chance to dry out in Hol- 

 land, and were not packed for shipment 

 until a few days before the Waaldyk 

 pnilcd. Allowing for one week in which
