Has anybody seen the man who, three 

 months ago, said there would be a short- 

 age of gladiolus bulbs this season? 



There is no "market" for Holland 

 bulbs at present. Conditions in the trade 

 are so unsettled that no one can say with 

 assurance what prices are or will be when 

 shipping time arrives. 



It is the opinion of some seedsmen 

 that their best profits this season will 

 be in novelties and high-quality strains 

 of seeds. Stocks of ordinary grade are 

 so plentiful that little will be made on 

 their sale. 



At Washington, January 24, the House 

 of Representatives, after energetic de- 

 bate, voted to insert in the agricultural 

 appropriation bill $360,000 for free seeds, 

 omitted again this year in the Depart- 

 ment's estimate. 



Greater care in the distribution of 

 catalogues and other sales literature has 

 resulted from high paper prices, and valu- 

 able knowledge has been thereby gained 

 ■concerning the advertising expenditures 

 that did and did not pay. 



The American Seed Trade Associa- 

 tion, which will hold its annual con- 

 vention in June at St. Louis, has com- 

 pleted all arranficnionts for this meet- 

 ing. These are in the hands of Clifford 

 Cornell, of the firm of Schisler-Corneli 

 Seed Co. 



The Mangflsdorf Seed Co., of Atchi- 

 son, Kan., is entering uynm its forty-sixth 

 year of Inisiiicss .-ind is already laying 

 plans to commciiioriite its fiftieth aiini- 

 Versarv. It retently increased the cu\>i 

 tal stock to $750,000, fully paid up. 



Holland bulb i^xjiorters are reticent 

 when it conies to discussing the probable 

 supply of exi>ortablc bulbs for 11)21, but 

 there i*o well informed men among tlic 

 travelers now in America who estimate 

 the acreage for this crop as twenty-five 

 per cent greater than in 1920. England 

 and America are looked to as the only 

 markets which may absorb the increased 

 production. 



The German government jiractically 

 prohibited the importation of Holland 

 bulbs last season, but the rate of ex- 

 change will accomiilish almost the same 

 result this season if there is no other 

 obstacle. One tulip bulb now costs a 

 German a mark! In ante-bellum days he 

 received 1,000 of the same bulbs for Irom 

 20 to 2') marks. Hollanders do not ex- 

 pect Germany to be a bulb buyer this 

 season or next. 



K KKPOKT from Santa Cruz. Cab. says 

 continuous rains have greatly damaged 

 the freesia croj., due to a great many 

 bulbs drowning out. The crop in general 

 looks good and the growers who were 

 on well drained ground did not suffer to 

 anv great extent. It is still raming and 

 there" is everv indication of a short crop 

 in the larger sizes. Prices will be high 

 again this season, unless the crop is great- 

 ly in excess of present estimates. Listed 

 orders are some three times that of same 

 date last vear. There is a heavy demand 

 for Puritv stock again this season, prob- 

 aWv due 'to some firms failing to deliver
