York on the Waaldyk. To begin with, 

 the British held the shipping papers for 

 weeks; then the congestion on the dock 

 was something terrific and the railroads 

 have seemed powerless to expedite the 

 movement of cars. A considerable pro- 

 portion of the bulbs have spoiled. The 

 greater part of the imports on the 

 Waaldyk and Schiedyk, representing 

 fully a normal season's supply, have 

 now been put on the rail, but there 

 remain on the dock some thousands of 

 cases, either unidentifiable in the confu- 

 sion which has existed, or abandoned by 

 those who considered the game not 

 worth the candle. So much time has 

 been lost and winter has come so early 

 in many parts of the country that the 

 present prospect for cleaning up the 

 Dutch bulbs is extremely discouraging. 

 The demand is strong, but if deliveries 

 arc not completed soon it looks as though 

 the sales for bedding would be ex- 

 tremely small. On top of this comes a 

 report that another shipment either is 

 being loaded or already has left Rotter- 

 dam. Practically everyone dealing in 

 bulbs hopes this report is untrue, for 

 there are troubles enough on hand al- 

 ready. 



SAN FRANCISCO SEED NOTES. 



C. C. Morse & Co. have been awarded 

 a gold medal for the best display of 

 field, vegetable and flower seeds at the 

 California land show, which is being 

 held in San Francisco. T. C. Holmes, 

 manager of the retail store, reports busi- 

 ness active, especially in vegetable 

 seeds, which js largely due, no doubt, 

 to the distribution of the company's 

 new fall catalogue, in which special 

 attention is given to vegetables for
