l.'iko till lator than the first part of 

 S»'pt<'iribor to complete the machinery 

 that will make the tariff a law, with all 

 cou(iitio!iH running true to past per- 

 formances, the French bulbs are prac- 

 tically .safe from added duties. 



Valley Pips. 



A'allcy pips, however, will probably 

 have to pay the quadrupled duties this 

 .season. According to the records for 

 last year, the new tariff will have been 

 in force several weeks before the first 

 consignment arrives. The pips came 

 in last vear as follows:

The lily bulbs from Japan will pay 

 only $4 per thousand instead of $5 if 

 the new duty is adopted as it appeared 

 in the bill on introduction in the House 

 of Representatives. Their late arrival 

 will effect a saving rather than other- 

 wise; they are the sole item in the list 

 on which this holds true.

HOLLAND'S SEED TRADE. 



The export seed trade of the Nether- 

 lands seems to be in a most unsatisfac- 

 tory state, reports Consul General 

 George K. Anderson from Rotterdam. 

 The acre:it;e under cultivation in seed 

 prodiution tills year is far smaller than 

 that of a year ago as a result of the 

 great slump in prices in 1920. This 

 shuii]) was due mostly to the inability 

 of Germany and Austria to buy their 

 usual supplies. As a result of the fall- 

 ing off in demand last year, consider- 

 able stocks were accumulated. 



The export of seeds to all countries 

 so far this year has amounted to only 

 fifty per cent of the shipments in the 

 same j'eriod of 1920. On the other hand, 

 the exports of the principal seeds to the 

 I'nited States has increased materially.

Trade Opinions: 



1. A moHt desirable i-oni- 

 niereial xariet.v. with its 

 stout xtem, well foliaged, and 

 topped by blooms of an ex- 

 quisite shade; it indeed sells 

 itself. — C HAS. H. Grakei.ow,

2. "Philadelphia Pink" is 

 one of the best varieties I have 

 handled. The leading retail 

 stores used it ibe entire season 

 with great aatisfaction— E.

The export of caraway seed fell from 

 a value of over 500,000 guilders (1 

 guilder = $0.42 at normal exchange) in 

 the first five months of 1920 to half 

 that value iu the same months of the 

 current year, while exports to the 

 I'nited States increased from a value 

 of $24,570 to a value of $47,363. Ex- 

 portation of other seeds to the United 

 States has increased proportionately. 

 There have been increased exports of 

 grass seed, of which the United States 

 received a large share, and of linseed. 

 There was a large increase in shipments 

 of sugar beet seed, nearly all of which 

 went to the United States. Most of the 

 garden seeds exported showed material 

 decreases.
