It is said that one of the contract 

 growers of sets at Chicago has 23,000 

 pounds of onion seed in the ground in the 

 growing section around South Holland, 

 111. 



Some of the Holland bulb salesmen 

 were so delayed by inability to get pass- 

 ports that they scarcely had reached the 

 United States when the early birds began 

 starting home. They say they find plenty 

 of orders were left unpicked. 



Any seedsman who wishes a room at 

 Hotel Sherman, during the Chicago con- 

 vention, June 24 to 26, is urged to en- 

 gage it today. The American Association 

 of Nurserymen meets at the same place 

 June 25 to 27 with the prospect of a rec- 

 ord attendance and, anyway, all Chicago 's 

 leading hotels are full every night this 

 season. 



Anticipating that the trade in Eng- 

 land will be permitted to import certain 

 classes of Dutch bulbs this autumn, the 

 British Horticultural Trades' Association 

 recently sent a committee to Holland to 

 investigate conditions there, especially 

 with regard to the quantity of bulbis 

 likely to be available this season and 

 the factors affecting the price. An inter- 

 esting report is expected soon to be forth- 

 coming. 



The Germain Seed & Plant Co., Los 

 Angeles, has for some months published 

 a weekly quarter page in the leading news- 

 paper there. It is in the style of an imi- 

 tation of a newspaper page and is called 

 * ' Timely Tips. ' ' The unnamed author la 

 one of those who know how to make ad- 

 vertising interesting and profitable. If 

 your line is local advertising, send Ger- 

 main a stamp for a specimen and you'll 

 say so, too. 



A HoLLAj^D concern with a New York 

 office states : * ' From a cable received 

 from Holland, it appears that England 

 and Finland are both open to receive 

 shipments from Holland. The cable 

 states that no official confirmation has 

 been given as yet, and we presume that 

 this is advance information. If this is 

 actually an accomplished fact and Eng- 

 land will again take bulbs as formerly, 

 this will have a big influence on the bulb 

 market, and cannot be denied. Naturally, 

 everything in the bulb line will be af- 

 fected and the only variety that seems 

 to be plentiful as yet is the hyacinth. ' ' 



SUOAB BEET FBOM GERMANY. 



The War Trade Board announces (W. 

 T. B. R. 764) that application for li- 

 censes to import sugar beet seed from 

 Germany, or which originated in Ger- 

 many, will be considered. 



Licenses covering such importations, 

 however, will not be issued until the im- 

 porter in the United States has made 

 effective arrangements tcymake the pur- 

 chase of foodstuffs for Germany by de- 

 positing said purchase price with the 

 American Relief Administration for re- 

 mittance through said administration to 

 the persons thereto entitled.

 American Relief Administration must
