PLENTY OF ROMANS? 



There has been some comment be- 

 cause of the fact that many, if not all, 

 of the orders for French Bomans placed 

 by American houses were filled in full, 

 in spite of the cry of shortage and 

 the sharp advance in price. Not all 

 the houses received as .large sizes as 

 they had ordered, but, apparently, most 

 of them got as many bulbs as they had 

 cared to order at the quotations. With- 

 out doubt the advance in price was a 

 factor in cutting down the orders to a 

 point where at least some of the houses 

 find they underestimated the demand. 



In this connection the following from 

 an English trade paper is of interest: 



"The cry of 'scarcity' and increased 

 prices in Koman hyacinths, etc., is well 

 known in past years, but the representa- 

 tions made in May, June, and even July 

 of this year by many exporters and 

 their English agents were such that 

 every firm contracting was given to 

 understand that bulbs would be about 

 a fourth of usual crop, and that prices 

 would assuredly rise, and it would be 

 impossible for all orders to be executed, 

 and that in all cases only a part of the 

 quantity ordered (Roman hyacinths in 

 particular) would be supplied. 



"Now let us see what has happened, 

 to my own knowledge. 



' * Firstly. — Upon these representa- 

 tions of extremely short crops high 

 prices were demanded, and some ex- 

 porters stipulated that unless Paper 

 White narcissi were taken in fairly 

 large quantity, Koman hyacinths would 

 not be supplied. 



"Secondly. — AH quantities of white 

 Soman hyacinths ordered were supplied 

 in full, up to the last bulb. 



"Thirdly. — To my certain knowledge 

 four of the chief exporters have had 

 surplus stocks to sell during the latter 

 part of August, and one of these French 

 exporters, through one of their English 

 agents, has been offering continuous 

 quantities for some weeks in all sizes, 

 at much lower prices than he has sold 

 to his earlier buyers. 



' ' Fourthly. — Large quantities have
