The Horists' Review 



NovuuBBK 26, 1914. 



Gladioli Announcement 



I have finished harvesting my crop of bulbs, and they are unnsually 

 fine. Many of them are nearly as thick as they are wide. This means 

 great blooming strength, either for forcing or outside planting. 



I can supply large orders of America and Mrs. Francis King, also 60 

 other varieties. 



* My new wholesale list will be ready about December 1. Write for it.

iiiand uudoubtedly will depend on the 

 duration of the war; an early conclu- 

 sion of peace will result in a fair de- 

 mand, but a prolonged struggle will 

 mean a smaller and smaller market out- 

 side America. 



"In regard to the 1914 crop," con- 

 tinued Mr. Van Zonneveld, "the out- 

 come has been remarkable. It was the 

 largest and best crop ever harvested, 

 l)ut had it not been for the war there 

 would have been a positive shortage 

 of the standard varieties, Keizerskroon 

 tulips and things like that. The sur- 

 plus of hyacinths would not have de- 

 veloped had it been possible to ship 

 orders to Russia." 



The bulb situation in America is not 

 so satisfactory as some would like to 

 make it appear. The season is pretty 

 near its close and considerable quanti- 

 ties of bulbs remain unsold. A well 

 posted dealer estimates the unsold stock 

 on hand in Chicago as having been 

 worth $10,000 at import prices. In the 

 eastern cities the situation is similar, 

 the imports through the port of New 

 York this year having to date been 

 nearly 10,000 cases more than last year. 



The Holland salesmen who are tour- 

 ing the country are this year having 

 the toughest time of their lives. Some 

 of them are trying to book orders for 

 next season on the basis of ten per 

 cent reduction from this year'g prices. 

 But they meet with little success. Oth- 

 ers are booking orders open, subject to 

 fixing i>rices when the market opens, 

 say in April, but are meeting with lit- 

 tle better success. Apparently the trade 

 in America is not at present ready to 

 l)uy, which seems like a good thing for 

 the wholesale jobbers, who should have 

 ;in unusually good run of business next 

 fall if the advance orders to Holland 

 are lighter than ordinary. 



The Hollanders, too, are having 

 trouble with collections: In the first 

 place, money is tight and, in the second 

 |)lace, many buyers want to discuss 

 prices on last crop much more than on 

 the next one.
