only $271.50, whereas a crop of the field 

 variety specified would have been worth 

 $760, and he sues for the difference, 

 $488.50. 



In this particular instance, the cus- 

 tomer dealt directly in person at the 

 company's store, without having con- 

 sulted a catalogue, so that in the store 

 was the only place where the disclaimer 

 could have been brought to his notice. 

 Wood, Stubbs & Co. print a non-war- 

 ranty statement in their catalogue, but 

 none appears on the firm's letter-head. 



BULB BECEIPTS ON DECLINE. 



Another step in the gradual decrease 

 in the receipts of bulbs from Holland 

 is marked this week. The total each 

 week falls a little behind that of the 

 week previous, showing that the end 

 of the shipments is not far off for this 

 season. The receipts last week, which 

 came on the Rotterdam steamers Mark- 

 en, Mizar and Maartensdyk, arriving 

 at New York November 14 and 15, to- 

 gether with a few consignments on the 

 Zaandyk in addition to those reported 

 last week, were as follows:

THE BULB SITUATION. 



"The prospect for Dutch bulbs in 

 1915 is still much in doubt, depending 

 largely on the course of the war." 

 The speaker was H. Van Zonneveld, 

 senior member of Van Zonneveld & 

 Philippo, Sassenheim, Holland, who 

 passed through Chicago November 20 

 on his way to the Pacific coast. Van 

 Zonneveld & Philippo ordinarily send 

 three travelers to America in the early 

 winter, Mr. Van Zonneveld himself 

 usually not coming until toward spring, 

 bat this season the Dutch army has 

 exercised its claim to first call on the 

 services of W. Langhout and the head 

 of the firm has come over to cover the
