The impression prevails that the Hol- 

 land bulb exporters have made a killing 

 this season. 



More people will have time to garden 

 next season and the demand for seeds 

 will be correspondingly better. 



Unemployment and lowered income 

 will renew the interest in home gardens 

 which prosperity for a time diverted. 



On the Noordam, which arrived at New 

 York from Rotterdam last week, were a 

 number of consignments of seeds, mostly 

 to forwarding houses. Two cases were 

 for the Stumpp & Walter Co., New York. 



Bulb importers have been as busy as 

 the proverbial bees, but the last of the 

 advance orders sees rather more surplus 

 than some of them like, considering the 

 cost of the bulbs, and there are signs 

 of growing nervousness. 



MORE DUTCH BUI.BS COME. 



On the steamer Noordam, which 

 reached New York October 7, were sev- 

 eral small consignments of bulbs from 

 Rotterdam. The shipment included the 

 following:

THE "ANIMATED" SIGNATURE. 



Seedsman's Coxrespondence Device. 



Charles J. Bolgiano is owner of the 

 large wholesale establishment of J. Bol- 

 giano & Son, with general offices, ware- 

 house and manufacturing plant located 

 in Baltimore, Md., and growing stations 

 and distributing points located in the 

 United States, Canada and Europe. 

 The name and foundation of this busi- 

 ness were handed down to him some 

 twenty-five years ago by his father, 

 who had conducted the business for 

 fifty years before. It was then a nice, 

 profitable business of something around 

 $500,000 per year, but lias since grown 

 to about $5,000,000 per year. 



Mr. Bolgiano, through his earnest ef- 

 forts to increase the business of J. 

 Bolgiano & Son, has worked out an 

 invention whereby every letter of every 

 character that is written and mailed or 

 sent out in any other way becomes a 

 live personal conversation, rather than 

 a piece of letter paper with something 

 printed or typewritten on it. 



When the business of J. Bolgiano & 

 Son was small it was the pleasure of the 

 firm to come in personal contact with 

 its customers, hut now that the business 

 has grown to hundreds of thousands of 

 customers, doing a tremendous mail 

 order business, it is impossible to give 

 close personal touch to all the cus 

 tomers.

 novel scheme by which he could talk
