Seed-smen making importations of 

 bulbs or stock under permit should read 

 the remarks of C. L. Marlatt, on page 39, 

 and also his warning, on page 44. 



The few warm days of last week 

 luought a notable increase in the business 

 in Chicago seed stores. At the store of 

 A. Henderson & Co., tuberoses and cannas 

 are moving particularly well at this time. 



Returning from his trip to Texas, 

 Oklahoma and other southwestern states, 

 H. A. Dcrtoli, of the W. W. Barnard Co.,

 ing good orders, although the spring sea- 

 son of that section is well under way. 

 Manager Ralph B. Howe states that re- 

 tail business is picking up with the warm- 

 er weather and that onion sets are mov- 

 ing exceptionally well. 



HOLLAND'S BULB CUSTOMERS. 



Asserting that Holland btilb exporters 

 have customers still bettor than the 

 T'nited States, so far as price \<or pound 

 is concerned, K. Velthuys, Ltd., writes 

 from Hillegom, Holland, as follows: 



''Our attention was attracted l)y A. 

 Henderson's reports about 'Hdtlaiul's 

 Best Customers' in The Review of Jnnu- 

 ary 13, Imt we are sorry to say that tlie 

 official Dutch sources from which Mr. 

 Henderson lias liis figures are not com- 

 plete, for we do not find tliose of tlie 

 Scaniliii;ivi;in countries among tlieiii. Rc-

"So, you see, the United States does 

 not pay more per pound for its bullis 

 than any other nation. Moreriver, it is 

 inislcnijing to make a comparison like 

 this. Of cfiurse, tliore is a groat dif- 

 ference lietween conntrios ]iurch,'ising 

 many hyjicinths and tulijis, which are 

 dearer, and countries buying many nar- 

 cissi, which are cheaper in general." 



Thougli it affords no indic.'ition of
