 real service if you will cooperate." 



NOTES ON THE BULBS. 



Up to November 5 fourteen carloads 

 of Japanese lily bulbs had been distrib- 

 uted by McHutchison & Co., New York, 

 while eight more were reported to be en 

 route and others still to come. Orders 

 for giganteums have been refused by 

 this house since September 1, since it 

 may not receive more than enough to 

 care for advance orders. It is estimat- 

 ed that only seventy per cent of the 

 American requirements will be received 

 from Japan and that in the 8 to 10 and 

 larger sizes the sliortage will be greater. 

 Every case must be fully paid for ere it 

 leaves Japan. 



Being short-shipped several hundred 

 cases, this firm sold out early on French 

 bulbs. Paper Whites were scarce in 

 standard sizes, many small bulbs being 

 forced on the market by the shortage. 

 True Soleil d'Or were abnormally high- 

 priced. Lilium candidum and white llo- 

 mans were exceedingly scarce. 



There seemed to be no surplus of first- 

 size forcing bulbs anywhere. On Dutch 

 bulbs, while prices were reasonable and 

 quality fine, this firm was cleaned out 

 early, having to refuse many orders. 



DUTCH BULB TRADE BETTER. 



A great improvement was noticeable 

 in the export of bulbs from the Nether- 

 lands during the month of August this 

 year, according to the American consul 

 at Rotterdam. The total export of bulbs 

 from that country to the United States 

 during the first six months of the cur- 

 rent year reached a declared value of 

 $1,475,973. During the month of July 

 exports to the United States amounted 

 to $245,997, and this increased during 

 the month of August to $2,375,556. The 

 declared exports to the United States of 

 bulbs for the first eight months of tlie 

 year, therefore, amounted to $4,092,516, 

 as compared with $2,951,947 during the 

 entire year of 1920. 



Exports of bulbs to Germany have 

 also increased materially, and the trade 

 to Sweden, Great Britain and Canada 

 likewise sliows substantial gains, with 

 the result that while three months ago 

 the bulb-growing industry was in a crit- 

 ical state because of poor trade and a 

 poor outlook for the immediate future, 

 it is now in a far better position than 

 it has been for years. Tlie stocks are 

 well cleared and the demand for all 

 kinds of bulbs is great.
