which has been cut off for four years, is 

 again available and in addition the 

 stocks which Holland and Denmark have 

 been offering will continue. It is said 

 that German growers of valley have 

 maintained their plantings and were 

 aided by the demand for these flowers 

 when shipments of other blooms from 

 Italy and southern France were cut off 

 by hostilities. Florists in many German 

 cities continued to do business all 

 through the war and since they could 

 no longer secure flowers from the Med- 

 iterranean coast, they were forced to fall 

 back on native production, of which 

 valley, of course, was the principal item. 

 Encouraged by this demand, the grow- 

 ers of valley pips, it is said, continued 

 the plantings at the former size. How 

 severely they have been affected by the 

 war's drainage of male labor from the 

 fields is not stated. However, women 

 were largely employed in the production 

 of valley pips and perhaps were able to 

 make up for the lack of men when the 

 latter went to the front. 



In addition to the German-grown val- 

 ley will be also supplies this season from 

 Denmark and Holland, which have fur- 

 nished what pips have been received the 

 last two seasons. To what extent these 

 sources of supply will be maintained is 

 not certain, but they will contribute 

 somewhat. 



The price of valley is not expected to 

 desdend at all rapidly. Pips will be high- 

 priced, compared to before the war. 

 German growers are asking for cash in 

 advance, to avoid losses in case of inter- 

 national commercial difficulties. Some 

 of them also are asking payment in dol- 

 lars instead of marks, to avoid losses in 

 exchange. Of course, those exporters 

 who sell for marks are increasing the 

 price in German coin to avoid loss in 

 exchange. 



These are the conditions which will 

 affect the valley supply and price. What 

 they actually will be depends upon the 

 shipments which arrive in the next two 

 months. 



BULBS INSPECTED AT POSTS. 



Buling Facilitates Distribution. 



In future seasons the importations of 

 bulbs, which this year were inspected 

 by state authorities, necessitating the 

 sending out of many notices of ship- 

 ment by bulb importers to their cus- 

 tomers, will be held for inspection at 

 the port of entry. The inspection will 

 there be made by authorized representa- 

 tives of the Department of Agriculture. 

 After approval of them, the bulbs may
