FI^ST PAPER WHITES ABE IN. 



There were 1,395 cases of Paper 



Whites and Bomans on the Canada, 



which docked at Hoboken July 28. It 



was the first steamer to bring French 



bulbs this season. The consignees were:

The Patria, from Marseilles, followed 

 the Canada into New York harbor by- 

 only a few days, and it is understood its 

 cargo consisted principally of bulbs. 



EEFRIGERATION TARIFF. 



The hearings of the Interstate Com- 

 merce Commission on the proposed per- 

 ishable tariff No. 1 are now in session 

 in Chicago, having previously been held 

 in western cities. The proposed tariff 

 will not change freight rates at all. It 

 merely places a charge for refrigeration 

 service on perishable products. The rate 

 of $5 per car, for an entire trip to any 

 but the farthest western points covers 

 the cost of providing a refrigerator or 

 fully insulated car. Extra charges for 

 other services will not affect the trade, 

 who seldom require them. 



EBELING LOSES SUIT. 



The case of Rynveld vs. Ebeling was 

 decided in favor of the plaintiff in the 

 appellate division of the Supreme court. 

 The suit involved an order of bulbs 

 shipped f. 0. b. Holland in unmarked 

 cases to the agents of the Holland firm 

 in New York. While the bulbs were 

 en route Rynveld Bros, changed their 

 agents on this side, and as a result the 

 bulbs lay on the New York docks un- 

 claimed and finally reached F. H. Ebe- 

 ling, in Syracuse, in worthless condi- 

 tion, according to the defendant. A 

 clause in the catalogue of the Holland 

 firm, referred to in the order, stating 

 that "the buyer assumed all risk on 

 bulbs f. o. b. Holland, ' ' was upheld by 

 the court in the suit brought by Ryn- 

 veld Bros. 



DANISH SEED DEVELOPMENT. 



Big Increase in Trade Recent. 



The development of the flower-seed in- 

 dustry has taken place in the last dec- 

 ade and especially during the last 

 two years, because of the war. Firms 

 in America, England and France that 

 previously purchased flower seed from 

 Germany have during the last two years 

 tried the Danish varieties. As the Dan- 

 ish seed seems to have proven quite as 

 good as the German, it is hoped that this 

 export field will be enlarged. Among 

 the varieties raised are: Aster, barto- 

 nia, calendula, California poppy, candy- 

 tuft, chrysanthemum, clarkia, cynoglos- 

 sum, forget-me-not, godetia, gypsophila, 

 larkspur, lupinus, mignonette, nastur- 

 tium, nigella, pansy, poppy, strawflower 

 and sweet alyssum.
