BULB IMPORTERS GET TOGETHER. 



At the oftice of Henry & Lee, New 

 York, a called meeting of American im- 

 porters of French bulbs was held May 

 23. The intention on the part of those 

 who insjiirod the meeting was declared 

 to have been to invite all importers to 

 attend and it is believed the response 

 was unanimous on the part of those 

 reached — they all were present or rep- 

 resented. There seems also to have been 

 unanimity in tlie view that the recently 

 announced prices of the French grow- 

 ers' syndicate are not justified, either 

 by crop conditions in France or eco- 

 nomic conditions in tlie trade in Amer- 

 ica. There, however, the unanimity ap- 

 pears to have ended. Not all those pres- 

 ent were authorized to pledge the fu- 

 ture action of their principals and in 

 the end the advocates of the velvet 

 glove prevailed over those of the big 

 stick, with the result that the cable 

 dispatched to representative exporters 

 at Ollioules was not in the nature of 

 an ultimatum. After the meeting the 

 following was addressed to interested 

 parties:
