The Florists' Review 



Sbftbm^ 16, 1016. 



'Mil 



Harrisville, Mich., is reported to be fine 

 in quality but email in quantity. 



Wood & Co., East Cleveland, sup- 

 plied many of the seeds to the winners 

 in the garden contest, which is giving 

 all concerned much local publicity. 



A. C. Kendel, Cleveland, reports that 

 the cucumber harvest of some of his 

 growers in New York state is only a 

 one-third crop. Yet should frost hold 

 off for a while, the returns may in- 

 crease to one-half. The selling season 

 has been a good average one. M. 



LILIES FBOM HOLLAND. 



The Associated Press, which boasts 

 of its accuracy, is responsible for the 

 following, which appeared in many 

 newspapers last week: 



"New York, September 10. — George 

 Trossit, a steward, and William Leus- 

 helm, a coal passer, were killed while 

 at work in the hold of the steamship 

 Eyndam, of the Holland- American line, 

 at her Hoboken pier yesterday. Gase- 

 ous fumes from lily bulbs, which 

 formed a large part of the Eyndam 's 

 cargo, are said to have caused death. 

 The men were discovered unconscious 

 by other members of the crew. Frank 

 Drews, a Hoboken fireman, volunteered 

 to rescue them. Wearing a helmet, he 

 entered the hold, but was pulled out 

 unconscious after a few minutes. Eopes 

 finally were placed around the other 

 two, who were dead when taken out." 



The Eyndam, of the Holland-Amer- 

 ica line, brought 10,336 cases of tulip 

 and hyacinth bulbs and the consignee 

 of the largest quantity states they ar- 

 rived in good condition, in no way 

 damaged. 



MANY DUTCH BULBS ABKIVE. 



The Holland-America steamer Eyn- 

 dam, from Eotterdam, docked at New 

 York September 6 with more than 10,- 

 000 cases of Dutch bulbs aboard. The 

 number of cases in this shipment ex- 

 ceeds the combined total of all pre- 

 vious arrivals of this year. The bulbs
