YOU GROW PANSY PLANTS FOR SALE? 



DOUBLE YOUR PROFIT AND SALES 



BY PLANTING THE 



New Early Flowering Giant Pansies 



They are three to four weeks earlier than other Pansies, in 

 coldframes or field; they have four or five large blossoms, when 

 other Pansies planted at the same time are only showing bud. 

 The richly colored, large, well formed flowers, on long, stiflf 

 stems, are very fragrant.

"Whether or not the quantity of bulbs 

 will equal the total of orders remains 

 to be seen. It is possible that in the 

 evening-up process, competition may 

 push the price up again. 



Prices WiU Be High. 



The appearance is that Paper Whites 

 will cost the American dealers at least 

 twelve per cent more than the dearest 

 bulbs of the 1920 crop cost. It will 

 mean a jobbers' price in America of 

 about $20 to $21 per thousand for 12 

 to 13 centimeter bulbs, with no room 

 for shading the price to large users. 

 Moreover, cable reports are to the ef- 

 fect that the crop is so short, particu- 

 larly of the larger sizes, that all orders 

 will be filled with bulbs one centimeter 

 smaller than the standard grading. 



According to reports, the Dutch 

 houses got all the bulbs they wanted 

 at the price and the American houses 

 will get the rest, the English dealers 

 not having bought any; they are be- 

 lieved to be still standing pat on their 

 demand for a price reduction twice as 

 great as the one the Americans ac- 

 cepted. 



Some of the crop will be afloat this 

 week. 



NEW TARIFF AND NEW BULBS. 



When Date of Arrival Counts. 



The time of arrival of bulb imports 

 this season has considerably more im- 

 portance than usual. Some of them 

 will arrive before the new duties go 

 into effect; others will not. The pro- 

 portion counts. If the new tariff duties 

 go into effect before the bulbs arrive, 

 thousands of dollars more must be paid 

 in duty, for the new rates on European 

 bulbs will be from twice to eight times 

 the present ones. 



The action taken on the tariff passed 

 at the beginning of the Wilson regime 

 was started in the early spring, and 

 the tariff went into effect October 14. 

 So we might reasonably expect the new 

 tariff to start working during October, 

 just as its predecessor did, except for 

 the fact that pressure is being placed 

 on Congress by the administration to 

 rush it through in shorter time. As
