spring, of course many of these orders 

 will be lost, and the plight of the Dutch 

 bulb growers will be worse than ever. " 

 It is the smaller bulb growers who 

 suffer most. The small bulb grower 

 must sell to the large wholesaler, whp 

 has the facilities for storing the bulbs 

 and can aflford to do sO. One large 

 wholesaler at Hillegom recently stated 

 that he received over 1,000^000 bulbs 

 at his warehouses, of which , he had 

 been able to dispose of only 150,000. 

 These bulbs catoQ.^^om the small grow- 

 ers. The tulip bulbs are as a rule sold 

 while yet in flower, in the case of the 

 small grower by auction, held on the 

 ground by local notaries, who make 

 a good thing out of it, whether the 

 growers do or not. 



WORLD'S TBADE AND CONGRESS. 



"The seed business is of rather lim- 

 ited dimensions as an industry, but 

 world-wide in its scope,'-' said Presi- 

 dent Lester L. Morse in opening the 

 San Francisco convention of the A. S. 

 T. A., "and on the whole it is a won- 

 derfully interesting business. Every 

 season brings its full share of trials and 

 anxieties, but there is usually enough 

 of success mixed up with failure to 

 keep us fairly happy. 



"As most of you probably know, it 

 was the ambition of the California 

 seedsmen to have the 1915 convention 

 a world 's congress of seed growers and 

 seed dealers, and, acting on our sug- 

 gestion, the convention two years ago 

 passed a resolution inviting the seed 

 trade of the world to meet with us 

 this year. 



"The seed trade is essentially a 

 world's business and the dealer gathers 

 his stocks from the four corners of the 

 earth. No one section of the earth 

 produces, or can produce, more than a 

 few items of the long list of varieties 

 a seedsman carries in his stock, and 

 the seed dealer is generally quite as 

 familiar through correspondence with 

 the foreign growers as he is with the 

 American. It is a misfortune that we 

 could not have had the proposed con- 

 gress, for many of us would have met 

 people with whose names we are fa- 

 miliar, but whose faces we have never 

 seen. Let us all hope when the war is 

 over, it will be possible sometime and 

 in some place to have the international 

 gathering we have missed this time."
