Reports from jobbers indicate that 

 Dutch bulbs are cleaning up rapidly. Any 

 surplus which may develop will bo the 

 result of late shipments from Holland. 



Eeports indicate that recent weather 

 conditions have been favorable for the 

 gladiolus crop all over America, with the 

 result that there will be a large crop of 

 bulbs of fine quality. 



One of the eastern importers suggests 

 that short crops do not always mean 

 shortages as compared with the demand 

 and avers that America will receive all the 

 giganteum bulbs that can be properly di- 

 gested this season. 



Excision of the paragraph in the Ford- 

 ney tariff relating to the duties on im- 

 ported grass seeds and return of such 

 seeds to the free list is sought by the 

 Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' Associa- 

 tion and a brief has been filed for that 

 purpose with the Senate finance commit- 

 tee. 



Although importations of bulbs from 

 France and Holland were lieavier this 

 year than previously, the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., Chicago, finds, in checking up its 

 orders, that early calls for them were 

 stronger than usual also. The lower 

 prices this season and the good sales 

 florists enjoyed last year have led to 

 larger orders in a good many cases. 



The schedules by which the freight rate 

 on commission seed cabinets would have 

 been raised have been ordered canceled 

 by the Interstate Commerce Commission. 

 Had they gone into effect, all cabinets 

 constructed of wood less than %-incli 

 thick would have received rating one 

 class higher than at present. The protest 

 of Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis, was 

 so effective that the seedsmen's case was 

 upheld and the schedules woie ordered 

 changed to admit the lower rating to 

 cabinets constructed of liardwooil of 'o- 

 inch thickness.
