and from these a partial crop is expected. 

 In the Rocky Ford section the growers 

 have been fighting aphis for some weeks. 

 Grasshoppers, too, are proving trouble- 

 some. The fields in the Ordway section 

 have not been bothered by either the aphis 

 or grasshoppers as yet. 



J. E. Curry, inspector for the seed di- 

 vision of the Washington state depart- 

 ment of agriculture, has issued a warning 

 to growers and farmers of that state to 

 avoid doing business with all houses offer- 

 ing to sell them seeds by mail. He cites 

 an Iowa concern as offering seed under 

 a misleading name, at prices below the 

 market, which failed to germinate well. 

 He is the second state inspector who has 

 recently aroused seedsmen's criticism bj' 

 branding all mail-order houses for the 

 practices of one.

THE JAP BULB SITUATION. 



Backed by the knowledge that the 

 1920 crop of giganteum bulbs is mate- 

 rially less than last year, the Japanese 

 believe they should receive for them 

 prices even higher than last year. The 

 business at the moment is practically at

a standstill, however, because of the 

 refusal of the principal dealers in 

 America and England to meet the ex- 

 porters even halfway in the matter. 

 That too much money was paid for the 

 1919 crop now is generally admitted. 

 Most of the dealers and not a few 

 forcers have their profit on 1919 pur- 

 chases still tied up in bulbs in cold 

 storage, a precarious place in view of 

 the near approach of another shipping 

 season. A considerable quantity of the 

 1919 bulbs no doubt will be held, be- 

 cause they can not be flowered now at 

 a profit, and forced for Easter, 1921. 

 The 1918 bulbs paid well when flowered 

 for Easter, 1919, but it is likely to be 

 another story when stock from a later 

 crop is in competition. At any rate, 

 the possession of a quantity of last 

 year's bulbs deters many a buyer from
