from his Germantown place to bis place

Edmund Dornheim and William G. 

 Stephen are clever salesmen. 



Philip Freud, who has made bulbs one 

 of his special studies, believes that it 

 will be two years at least before the re- 

 turn of normal conditions in Holland. 

 He says that while his firm, the Henry F. 

 Michell Co., could have sold many more 

 Dutch bulbs, the season was satisfac- 

 tory because the bulbs were of fine qual-

 Freud endorses the view that this mar-

 giganteum until next fall. Phil.

The market is practically unchanged. 

 The demand is small, in comparison with 

 what is ordinarily expected at this sea- 



son, but still the supply is such as barely 

 to cover it. 



The supply of inies is decreasing con- 

 siderably, owing to the shortage of 

 bulbs. Shippers, who for a long time 

 have made daily shipments, now skip a 

 week occasionally, and 20 cents per bud 

 and bloom continues to be the price. 

 There probably will be a fair supply for 

 Easter, but after that date it is doubt- 

 ful whether lilies will be in regular sup- 

 ply- 



There are more violets available, the 

 plants having recovered from the condi- 

 tions precipitated by the recent mild 

 weather. With lower temperatures, 

 supplies have increased. 



Roses continue in short supply, and 

 early shopping must be done if require- 

 ments are to be covered. 



It is a producers' market, but while 

 prices are much higher than customary, 

 the growers assert they are not unduly 

 high, considering circumstances. The
