1 6 O f /230V KiMZW »TR««T' GROWERS FOR THE TR 

 "^^ ONION SETS Writ. for FricM 



prices. It is all due to the agitatiou 

 among the small growers, which the 

 Hollanders themselves are responsible 

 for. 



We assure you the blame in that 

 article is placed in the wrong place — 

 the French bulb exporters are not mak- 

 ing a fortune in the business. Quite 

 the contrary, it's the small grower who 

 is getting more for his crops than ever 

 before. 



As proof of this, we all know there 

 are reliable men in the district who 

 are, and have been for some time, 

 buyers on a commission basis for Amer- 

 ican and English firms. Thoy also paid 

 high prices in competition with the 

 Dutchmen, to get their orders filled. 



Too many different buyers after the 

 goods direct is wliat is really respon- 

 sible for the high cost. Some of thesd 

 Hollanders had orders at "market 

 price" sufficient to protect them, and 

 in such instances florists find they have 

 been charged plenty.

DUTCH BULB SHIPMENTS. 



The Rotterdam boat reaching New 

 York September 20 brought thirty-two 

 cases of Dutch bulbs for R. F. Lang. 

 The steamer arriving two days later 

 carried a large number of small con- 

 signments. The combined consign- 

 ments were as follows:

THE GRASS SEED SITUATION. 



"Although the temperature has been 

 more favorable during maturity of the 

 grasses around here than in recent 

 years," writes Gustav Schott, of As- 

 chaflFenburg, Bavaria, "the crops have 

 not been quite satisfactory with re- 

 gard io their quality. Australia, Den- 

 mark, England and France have ob- 

 tained far better results in this re- 

 spect. In America nearly all grasses 

 have suffered from an abnormal heat 

 and it is reported that the crop ex- 

 pectations will be far below the av- 

 erage, especially of Agrostis stoloni- 

 fera, stocks of which are nearly cleared 

 out and nothing of importance will be 

 carried over for the new season, so 

 prices will be extremely high. Agros- 

 tis capillaris promises to De a good 

 crop on our side. 



"Aira flexuosa and Aira csespitosa 

 have yielded middling crops. Alope- 

 curus pratensiB came in under good cir- 

 cumstances and the available quantity 

 of seed will figuito oat to last year 's 

 crop; the quality is expected to be 

 much better. Anthoxantum odoratum 

 is an average crop o£ good quality, 

 whereas the crop of A. Puelli seems to 

 be quite a failure.
