lar, the number of dollars spent for the 

 bulbs at the time of paying will be just 

 twice as much as it would have been at 

 the time of ordering." 



One of the seed trade visitors in Chi- 

 cago last week was W. A. Philippo, the 

 Holland manager of M. Van Waveren & 

 Sons, Ltd., of Hillegom, Holland. 



PRICE OF FRENCH BULBS. 



The French growers appear to hold the 

 idea that if they cannot get the Ger- 

 mans to pay the cost of the war, the next 

 best thing will be to make America pay 

 it, for bulbs. American buyers were 

 amazed at the recent development of 

 French conceptions of the value of the 

 1921 crop of Paper Whites and Romans, 

 but that the idea there is no limit to 

 what our people will pay for bulbs is not 

 exclusive with the growers at OUioules, 

 is shown by the circumstance that now 

 comes a Paris concern with quotations 

 on Lilium candidum more than fifty per 

 cent above some shippers' quotations a 

 year ago. It is, of course, explained that 

 the crop is short and that it will be im- 

 possible to fill orders in the usual volume. 



For the information of the trade, the 

 firm's 1920 and 1921 advance quotations 

 are here printed in parallel columns. The 

 prices are f. o. b. Paris and do not in- 

 clude packing, carriage, freight, insur- 

 ance or any costs accruing at this end, 

 for July and August shipment:

It seems quite possible that a small 



crop will meet the needs of the American 



trade so long as these prices prevail. 



FRANCS AND BULBS. 



Unless the Poles precipitate a new 

 martial struggle by their Silesian in- 

 surgency, the settlement of the repara- 

 tions question and of other of France's 

 problems is likely to continue the rapid 

 rise in value of the exchange of that 

 country. In that event American 

 buyers who contract at present prices, 

 in francs, for French bulbs are likely 

 to pay, in dollars, considerably more 

 than they figure the cost in our money 

 to be at the present time. The rise 

 in the exchange rate of French francs 

 has been accelerated as the reparations 

 question nefwed settlement, and since
