DUTCH BULB ARRIVALS. 



Not Record Bulb Shipment. 



The shipment of Holland bulbs which 

 reached New York on the Canard 

 steamer Norman Monarch September 22 

 was not, as reported, the record in num- 

 ber of cases on board one vessel. For, 

 on investigation, the published figures 

 of 27,564 cases, given by the manifest, 

 prove to be incorrect. The correct num- 

 ber, the Cunard Steam Ship Co. states, 

 is approximately 15,000. The original 

 total, as given for publication, was an 

 error. 



The largest cargo of bulbs ever re- 

 ceived was therefore brought by the 

 Khiva last year. On this steamer, says 

 V. F. W. Frick, of the General Bulb 

 Co., New York, were 22,000 cases. 



Last Week's Receipts. 



On the steamer Anglo Chilean from 

 Rotterdam, which reached New York 

 October 14, were the following consign- 

 ments of Holland bulbs: 



Previously reported 47,766 



Total to date 48,187 



Subtracted from Norman Monarch 12,500 



Revised total 35,687

NEED U. S. SUGAR BEET SEED. 



"Little or no encouragement is given 

 to the production of beet seed in the 

 United States," states F. C. Lowry, in 

 his Federal Reporter. "The sugar beet 

 seed situation for 1921 is serious, be- 

 cause of the limited production of sugar 

 beet seed in Europe as compared with 

 former years, because of the limited 

 activity in beet sugar production in 

 European countries, and because of the 

 increased acreage planted to beets in 

 this country in recent years. It is prob-
