PET08KEY 

 GROWN 



Grown right in the 

 midst of the famous 

 health resort of 

 America — in the 

 best soil and cli- 

 mate in the world 

 for all root growth 

 —just as healthful 

 for bulbs as humans . 

 These bulbs are 

 grown on new land 

 each season, never 

 twice in succession 

 in the same soil, 

 giving them unsur- 

 passed vitality and 

 healthfulness.

GLADIOLUS BULBS AERIVINO. 



The Rotterdam steamers are bringing 

 gladiolus bulbs in increasing quanti- 

 ties. Last week two boats arrived, 

 March 11, the Maartensdyk and Ryn- 

 dam, with 832 cases on board. The 

 consignments were as follows:

THE JAP BULB SITUATION. 



The market for Japanese bulbs has 

 resisted war's alarms with a strength 

 quite without equal in any other de- 

 partment of the bulb business. 



The reason prices have held so firm 

 on the 1914 crops is that the number 

 of cases proved considerably short of 

 early estimates — thousands of cases 

 short. American orders were filled in 

 full only because British orders were 

 cut in half. Had it not been for the 

 war there would have been a scarcity 

 by • now and as it is the supply of 

 giganteums in cold storage is estimated 

 as not greater than usual at this date. 



The Japanese have not planted any- 

 thing like the usual acreage for the 

 1915 crop. One good authority esti- 

 mates it at seventy per cent, another 

 as low as sixty per cent of the usual 

 acreage. Anticipating a reduction in 

 the world's requirements because of the 

 war, the Japanese have figured that a

small crop at regular prices will bring 

 as much money as a big crop at sur- 

 plus rates, and they have used a part 

 of their bulb lands for food crops this 

 year. Also, they have seen a chance 

 to improve their stock by rigid selec- 

 tion of the planting stock and the de- 

 struction of the weaklings, so the trade 

 should be the gainer.
