 Gunson, of Syracuse, sued P. H. Van Al- 

 len to recover the value of seeds Van 

 Allen refused lo accept liecause of late 

 deliver}'. The justice j^ave judgment for 

 the seed dealers but on appeal to the 

 county court the finding was reversed 

 with costs of $42.79 against plaintiffs, 

 whose original claim was only $11.75. 



THE SEED TRADE. 



Reports as to the seed trade to April 

 1 are almost all to the effect that the 

 volume of business to that date is 

 ahead of recent years because of the 

 mild weather of March. January and 

 February were not up to the average 

 with any .save the jobbing houses but 

 ^Fareh has more than made up the loss. 

 While the busy season has come earlier 

 than usual to the mail order houses and 

 this seems certain to be a very good year 

 for this branch, still jobbers report that 

 the requirements of general merchants 

 handling seeds have been larger than 

 ever and re-orders are already coming in. 



THE DUTCH BULB SHOW. 



Reports just to hand indicate that the 

 quinquennial exhibition at Haarlem 

 March 17 to L'.S by the Royal Bulb So- 

 ciety of Holland, while a most pleasant 

 occasion and a success in the main, 

 brought out little that was new. The 

 floors of the main exhibition halls were

laid out as flower gardens with beds of 

 various form designed on the green turf. 

 The general effect was very pleasing. 

 The bulb exporters were present to a 

 man but few of them were exhibitors, as 

 they are growers, not forcers, of bulbs. 

 All the well known named sorts of 

 tulips, hyacinths, crocuses, cannas, cycla- 

 mens, richardias, irises, lilies, etc., were 

 shown. Among novelties. Tulips Blanca, 

 white, and Red Riding Hood, single, 

 were notable. The hospitalities were 

 generous. Among the visitors were E. 

 Benary, of Erfurt, Philippe de Vilmorin, 

 of Paris, R. Sydenham, of Birmingham, 



and Mr. Torkildsen, of Howcroft & 

 Watkins, London. No American houses 

 were represented.
