of $10,000; third, the stock in the ware- 

 house ia to be sold to Mr. Woodruff for 

 $3,500 and 8. D. Woodruff & Sons waive 

 claim to indebtedness of approximately 

 $38,000, while Mr. Woodruff is likewise 

 released from a stock subscription of 

 $10,000. 



Indebtedness, aside from the claim of 

 8. D. Woodruff & Sons, amounts to about 

 $40,000. The cash received from the 

 two partners, with the collection of ac- 

 counts receivable, estimated at $7,500, 

 will make possible, it is declared by the 

 creditors' committee, a dividend of for- 

 ty to fifty per cent, all priority claims 

 and lien rights being paid in full. Mr. 

 Woodruff, it should be stated, though 

 related to, is not a membdr of the east- 

 ern firm of 8. D. Woodruff & Sons. 



A meeting of creditors was called for 

 February 14, at which the plan out- 

 lined above was to be approved. It is 

 expected to execute the provisions of 

 the plan at once, so as to afford Mr. 

 Boyce and Mr. Woodruff opportunity to 

 engage in this season's business. 



WHAT COIiD SPELLS DID. 



Conservative estimates have placed 

 the damage to the freesia crop to the 

 extent that the crop will not be over 

 forty per cent normal, asserts R. O. Lin- 

 coln, Santa Cruz, Cal., in a report as to 

 the injury from recent frosts. With the 

 extended plantings this season, this 

 should be almost the same crop as last 

 season, and will permit the filling of 

 orders 100 per cent, as the firm has done 

 the last two years. However, it is 

 thought that there will not be as many 

 three-quarters as last year. There will 

 not be enough %-inch, %-inch or %-inch 

 up to fill all demands. The firm expects 

 to have sufficient %-inch to %-inch to 

 fill, all orders now booked. The crop 

 damage runs from five per cent to 100 

 per cent loss, with an average of fifty 

 per cent. 



The nature of the white calla crop is 

 one which makes it suffer more than 

 other bulbs from heavy frosts or cold 

 snaps. Tlio damage this cold spell has 

 practically taken the entire crop, which 

 means that there will be a heavy short- 

 age in all sizes above one inch in diame- 

 ter. Some of the growers expect to have 

 sufficient stock from their fields to fill 

 what orders they have booked. 



The frost has not hurt the iris and 

 baby gladiolus bulbs in any way. How- 

 ever, there is a heavy demand for thorn. 

 Stock is in fine condition. 



As the crop of yellow eallas i)]rintinj» 

 stock is not planted until March, this 

 bulb was not harmed in any way. 



"Every day causes the stock to look 

 a little worse," states J. A. Brown, of 

 Cajiitola, Cal. " Freesias, undoubtedly, 

 are damaged the worst in the history of 

 the industry. No doubt tlicn^ will be 

 about as many freesias as ever before, 

 but I believe the giowth has been 

 stunted and there will be fewer largo 

 ones than ever before. It may he ])ossi- 

 ble, also, that those bulbs which liavr 

 lost tlioir tops through bad frosts will 

 turn out rod or dark, which, of course, 

 is not desirable for tlie eastern trade. 

 Even the bulbs on high ground woro 

 more or less damaged this season, while 

 in the jiast only those on low ground 

 have been damaged." 



Mr. Brown says c.nlla lilies wore 

 frosted clear down to the ground, but 

 the liulhs themselves .-ire not hurt, 

 though thoy may not develop much size 



Windmill Talks 

 on Bulbs 



As much as we Hollanders hate the rats for the 

 mischief they often do in the fields, by eating 

 and by storing away the bulbs, still it was a rat 

 that showed us how to grow a host of hyacinth 

 bulblets. where only a few were grown before. 



We just chanced on one that a rat had eaten out 

 in a peculiar way inside the root portion. From 

 every exposed layer on the bulb a bulblet had 

 Brown. 



So, now we have a special way of cutting the 

 mother hyacinth to get the same results. 

 That is one of the reasons why we are able to 

 supply you with such quantities of the highest 

 grade Hyacinth Bulbs, three to five years old. 



You buy Tegelaar Bulbs, but what you really 

 gel is satisfaction.
