''^'es,■■ obser\('d William Scott, of 

 the William Scott (,'o., of Cold Spriuf>;s, 

 X. v., who is known to his host of 

 friends as "Willie,"" ''it will make 

 considerable difference to us if we do 

 not receive any bulbs from irolbiud.

 ;imouiits to more than $2,0(10. Carinji

 a jfotMJ sonice of rexcnne to us. There 

 are many others who, doubtless, are in 

 the same lioat. We ;n(' much interesteil 

 in the venture of (!. W. Ward, for if the 

 culture of the bull»s in (alifornia is a 

 success, Wf see no reason Avliy, when 

 e\'ery item of expense incurred in shiji 

 ments from Kurope is taken into consid 

 (■ration, the cost to the orower shouM
