and such sorts as Golden Spur and Dou- 

 ble Von Sion are being sold at high 

 prices for extra quality bulbs. Crocuses 

 are clearing o£f, notwithstanding that 

 prices are quite up to last year's stand- 

 ard and that the crop has been a good 

 one. 



"Within a few days the bulk of 

 bulbs will have left this country, and 

 not many are likely to be left here for 

 possible additional orders." 



aOVEENMENT GIVES WARNING. 



In. its weekly bulletin to crop corre- 

 spondents the U. S. Department of Ag- 

 riculture gives warning in the matter of 

 an adulterant for white and alsike clo- 

 ver seed which the department says is 

 being imported. The notice is as fol- 

 lows: 



"There is being offered to the seed 

 trade in the United States from Euro- 

 pean sources a mixture of seeds under 

 the names of Trifolium angulatum and 

 Trifolium parviflorum, which is similar 

 in color and general appearance to a 

 mixture of alsike and white clover seed. 



"The seeds are slightly smaller than 

 those of alsike or white clovelr, but can 

 be easily distinguished under a mag- 

 nifying glass by their rough surface as 

 contrasted with the smooth surface of 

 alsike and white clover seed. 



"This mixture has no recognized 

 commercial value in this country and 

 will doubtless either be sold as white 

 and alsike clover seed or used as an 

 adulterant of these seeds. 



"Some of this seed has been import- 

 ed at a price approximately one-half 

 that of alsike and one-fourth that of 

 white clover seed and an attempt has 

 been made to sell it as a mixture of 

 white and alsike clover. 



"All purchasers of mixtures of white 

 and alsike clover seed should examine 

 them carefully to see that they are 

 free "from this seed.** 



DUTCri BULBS. 



Last week showed a decline in the ar- 

 rivals of Dutch Ijulbs. The steamer 

 which arrived in New York September 

 7 brought but one Jarga consignment. 

 The boat reaching New York the fol- 

 lowing day brought a large quantity,
