were being sent to Bussia and Germany. 

 To Britain about half the usual quan- 

 tity was being exported, while Scandi- 

 navia was a good customer. The syn- 

 dicate of bulb growers showed signs of 

 dissolution and attempts to bolster up 

 prices another year will, he thinks, meet 

 with failure. Fine bulbs of tulips and 

 narcissi are now being produced in 

 ihigland, smaller but firmer than the 

 Dutch stock. In England he was agree- 

 ably surprised to find that horticulture 

 was anything but decadent. Kew Gar- 

 dens were never in finer condition. The 

 same applied to Hampton Court Palace. 

 The yew trees at the latter place made 

 the finest formal effect he had seen any- 

 where. At the Edinburgh botanic gar- 

 dens was to be found the grandest col- 

 lection of herbaceous and rock plants to 

 be found in Europe. Dr. Balfour, the 

 curator of these fine gardens, was a 

 marvel. At a noted garden in Horsham 

 some 2,000 varieties of rhododendrons 

 were seen. At Sir Edmund Loder's, at 

 Leonardslee, in Sussex, and Hon. Vicary 

 Gibbs', at Aldenham, were seen won- 

 derful collections of trees, shrubs and 

 plants. Horticulture in all countries 

 visited showed no signs of decadence 

 and, considering the fearful destruction 

 of property and loss of life, of which 

 we here could form no conception what- 

 ever, the work being done was simply 

 marvelous. A rising vote of thanks 

 was tendered Mr. Farquhar for his in- 

 teresting lecture.
