Reports have it that there are not 

 many gladiolus bulbs in Holland this 

 season. 



The death of John R. Johansen, of the 

 Bernard Johansen Seed Co., San Fran- 

 cisco, is recorded in this week's obituary 

 column. 



Lester L. Morse, returning to San 

 Francisco from an eastern trip, will cele- 

 brate his forty-eighth birthday anniver- 

 sary November 9. 



There seems to be enough Dutch hya- 

 cinths, Paper Whites and Romans, with 

 some to spare at the price, but no surplus 

 of tulips, jonquils or daffodils. 



A LETTER from a Holland house to its 

 representative here says spiraeas, peonies, 

 Spanish iris, Gladiolus Colvillei, etc., went 

 forward October 3, via England. No 

 bulbs have been shipped since late August. 



The Holland bulb exporters are sign- 

 ing up to sell only f. o. b. the shipping 

 station in 1919. In other words, to stop 

 sales f. 0. b. New York, on which many 

 of them, if they filled the orders, have 

 lost money this season. 



In spite of the fact that there has been 

 a suspicion that tlie boat which was re- 

 ported sunk with Dutch bulbs went down 

 only in somebody's mind, advices from 

 Holland continue to refer to such a boat 

 with 4,000 cases as missing. 



Watson S. Woodruff, of S. D. Wood- 

 ruff & Sons, Orange, Conn., was elected, 

 November 5, as state senator from the 

 Fourteenth Senatorial District of Con- 

 necticut. Every town except one in the 

 district gave him a majority, resulting in 

 an unusually large total majority for the 

 district. 



Andrew Ireland, for many years man- 

 ager of the Marks Tey seed growing es- 

 tablishment of Dobbie & Co., Edinburgh, 

 Scotland, has started in business for 

 himself and has been succeeded by Har- 

 ry Wright, who has been Mr. Ireland's 

 chief assistant and in the service of the 

 firm for more than twenty years. All 

 the parties mentioned are known to nu- 

 merous American seedsmen. 



J. M. RiDGFORD, general manager of 

 W^atkins & Simpson, Ltd., London, has 

 noted that many American seedsmen or 

 their relatives are now crossing the At- 

 lantic in connection with the war, and it 

 has occurred to him that it will tend to 

 promote good feeling on both sides if the 

 American seedsmen will call at the com- 

 pany's offices, Drury-Lane, Covent Gar- 

 den, whenever their route lies through 

 London. 



SEEDSMEN'S RESPONSIBILITY. 



Wlien Several Ship In One Carload. 



Where one person buys from two or 

 more independent sellers quantities of 

 seed loaded together to make up a sin- 

 gle carload, and he asserts that one of 

 the sellers has failed to perform a con- 

 tract to deliver good, merchantable 

 stock, in that some of the seed was fouijd 

 to be mixed with trash and other seeds.
