is undeniably small, there are' some un- 

 sold bulbs. It appears that the Holland, 

 houses stand ready to take considerable 

 quantities of bulbs, but that they are 

 as yet unwillioj^ to meet the rise in 

 prices. At the same time numerous 

 American orders placed subject to con- 

 firmation of prices appear to have fallen 

 down, leaving the exporters with mod- 

 erate quantities of bulbs which they 

 have been trying to place by cable, at 

 prices so much above American ideas of 

 current values that the deal is still in 

 suspension. Unquestionably there are 

 more orders than bulbs and it is merely 

 a matter of agreeing on price to place 

 any unsold lots. 



The situation is further complicated 

 by the fact that some buyers here 

 bought their francs considerably below 

 the present rate of exchange. Those 

 who placed their money some time ago 

 obtained as many as seventeen francs 

 for a dollar, while the present rate is 

 between eleven and twelve francs. The 

 man who got his French money cheaply 

 has a choice between making a profit 

 or making it warm for his competitors 

 in case they did not also act early. 



MOTT-LY GLEAinNGS. 



Harry Holmes, of the Holmes-Lether- 

 man Seed Co., Canton, O., expressed 

 gratification at the fine showing made 

 this season. It is highly encouraging, 

 stimulating the plans for more space, 

 which were held over until the results 

 of the season's business were known. 



Manager H. Conrad, of the Dumont 

 Seed Store, Canton, O., reports a fifty 

 per cent increase since it was forced to 

 move, owing to a fire early in the 

 season, and attributes it entirely to the 

 larger area of gardens planted. W. M.

ONION SET SUPPLY NOEMAL. 



The outlook for a normal supply of 

 commercial onion sets this year is prom- 

 ising, according to a survey of growing 

 conditions of the crop made by the bu- 

 reau of markets of the Department of 

 Agriculture during the week ending 

 July 3. The acreage on the whole is 

 estimated to be about the same as last 

 year and present indications are that
