The new tariff duties, which will go 

 into effect this week, will be found on 

 page 18 of this issue. 



The cold storage lily of the valley is 

 well cleaned up, so that the arrival of 

 the new crop is awaited with special 

 interest. 



A NEW firm, known as the Spainhower 

 Seed Co., will be started soon at Albany, 

 Mo., by Chris Spainhower, to deal mainly 

 in farm seeds. 



Not many Harrisii bulbs of the short 

 1913 crop still are oQt of their pots, but 

 yet there are enough so that anyone who 

 wants some can be supplied. 



According to the latest statistics there 

 were seeds of an invoice value of $25,639 

 in bonded warehouses, awaiting the day 

 when the new duties will be in force. It 

 is said the quantity so held up has 

 largely increased in the last week, 



A CHARTER has been filed by the Buf- 

 fin Pure Seed Co., Wilmington, Del., with 

 a capital stock of $1,000,000 to grow and 

 deal in seeds of all kinds. The incor- 

 porators are Herbert E. Latter, W. T. 

 Maloney and Oscar J. Reichard, all of 

 Wilmington. 



Chief of F. C. Heinemann's novelties 

 for 1914 is Begonia hybrida gigantea 

 Duplex, but he has another called B. 

 hybrida crispa marginata, in two colors. 

 A new feathered ]Joppy is bright car- 

 mine on white ground. Cecily is a Drum- 

 mondi phlox of compact growth, now 

 offered in five colors. A white Tom 

 Thumb myosotis has come as a com- 

 panion to the blue form introduced by 

 Heinemann some years ngo. 



THE PRICE OF EOMANS. 



The writer notices an article in The 

 Review for September 25, page 52, 

 about Romans. In spite of all the howl 

 and cry, and the contraction of orders, 

 the big bulk of the crop was con- 

 sumed at high prices. True, there was 

 a surplus late in the season — we bought 

 a large quantity ourselves at a reduc- 

 tion of exactly forty-five per cent of 

 the early price. 



We quite agree with the English 

 that the prices early were entirely too 

 high, but their reasons are warped. 



The fact is there are sixty to sev- 

 enty small growers producing the big 

 bulk nowadays and the four or five ex- 

 porters are obliged to pay them a 

 higher price than ever before, because 

 of the advent of the Dutchman in the 

 field. 



The Hollanders during the last few 

 years have visited the smaller growers 

 and impressed them with the fact that 

 they were not getting enough for their 

 product. This, together with an un- 

 usual demand for large sizes in a dry 

 season, is responsible for the prices. 



August 5 the writer was in Toulbn 

 among the exporters and at that par- 

 ticular time there were no Paper 

 Whites to be had practically, size 13 

 up, at any price, but September 5 we 

 got plenty at a very great reduction 

 in price. 



This" is due to the fact that growers 

 hold back their stock sometimes with 

 the expectation of getting higher
