learn something about bulbs. Perhaps 

 descent is not the word; ascent would 

 be better, for George D. Clark, who has 

 the bulbs in charge, is on the fourth 

 floor. The smoke had evidently thor- 

 oughly cleared, as Mr. Clark was found 

 cleaning hollyhock seed. He kindly 

 stopped to talk bulbs. Here is 

 what he said: "We received pretty 

 nearly all our bulbs and we have sent 

 them all out except a few Paper Whites. 

 They were in fine condition and, gener- 

 ally speaking, we received what we or- 

 dered. The volume of business was 

 about the same as last year; a little 

 smaller in the number of bulbs, a little 

 larger in the amount of money, but you 

 must remember that both last year and 

 this year were decidedly below 1916. It 

 has been our plan to order conserva- 

 tively. Bulbs are highly perishable; it 

 is not a good plan to have too many. 



"Soon after peace was declared I 

 wrote regarding Lilium giganteum. I 

 felt so much cheered by the ending of 

 the war that I departed from the usual 

 business form and said, 'Now we have 

 the Kaiser Kanned Kant we have some 

 bulbs'? Tlie answer was discouraging: 

 'It is too likely they will be frozen in 

 transit in winter.' So it appears we 

 shall have to do without. Of course, 

 there are some lilies here and there are 

 said to be a great many in Canada. ' ' 



At the Adelphl. 



The December meeting of the Flo- 

 rists' Club was held in the Hotel Adel- 

 phi December 3. This is the second 

 move the club has made since its home 

 in Horticultural hall was lost. The 

 club met for a year in the Grand Fra- 

 ternity building, but it seemed too vast 

 and unhomelike, so S. S. Skidelsky's 

 suggestion of meeting in a hotel is now 

 being tried. J. Otto Thilow delivered 

 the postponed address on "The Flo-

 a far happier topic than would have 

 been possible had it been delivered at 

 the time originally proposed. 



Various Notes. 



The Henry F. Michell Co. has received 

 something like 300 additional cases of 

 bulbs from Holland by a steamer sup- 

 posed to have been sunk by a mine in 



the English channel. They all will be 

 distributed this week. 



H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have received 

 invoices of immortelles from Marseilles 

 that were paid for last July and have 

 been lying at that port ever since. Mr. 

 Bayersdorfer thinks the immortelles 

 may be here this week. The quality and 

 variety are unknown. 



The M. Rice Co. states that November,
