tral west has not experienced the cold 

 weather that has prevailed at other 

 points; consequently the smaller dealers 

 throughout Illinois, Ohio and Iowa are 

 well ahead of the rush. This will ease 

 things up somewhat when the wholesalers 

 are called upon to meet the requirements 

 elsewhere. Mail trade is coming about 

 as usual and counter trade is beginning 

 to open up. An early spring is predicted 

 in the central west, as there is little frost 

 left in the ground. The demand for 

 onion seed is not as brisk as it should 

 be; the high prices seem to be a factor 

 here, many of the planters being inclined 

 to hold off for lower prices. It is 

 thought that the conditions fully warrant 

 the high prices, however, and no anxiety 

 is felt by those who have onion seed to 

 sell. 



THE TULIP DISEASE. 



The many complaints that have been 

 received during the last few years 

 through the seedsmen and the trade gen- 

 erally, in consequence of the fact that 

 so often tulips in the beds of parks and 

 private gardens failed to bloom, and 

 even in many places failed to come alto- 

 gether, now justify us in giving the re- 

 sults of our trials and investigations in 

 this direction for the benefit of all those 

 interested. We have, for the last three 

 years been making extensive trials based 

 upon the discoveries of Prof. H. Kle- 

 bahn, of Hamburg, who not only suc- 

 ceeded in finding the cause of the tulip 

 disease, but also the fact that it shows 

 its existence in two distinct forms caused 

 by the fungi Botrytis parasiticus and 

 Sclerotium Tuliparum. 



To make a long story short, we might 

 as well refrain from going too much 

 into the details, and we therefore only 

 give the main points here. Generally 

 the disease caused by Botrytis shows it- 

 self in the early spring, by the non- 

 appearance or by the backward and sick- 

 ly sprouts that come above the ground, 

 and upon lifting such diseased bulbs one 

 can easily find the cause of it in the 

 shape of numerous small black fungi.

 nothing but oar genuine seeds.

about the size of a pinhead; or in the 

 case of Sclerotium Tuliparum, by larg- 

 er dark brown fungi, that adhere to the 

 old bulb or what is left of it. These 

 fungi are usually to be found in many 

 hundreds together and under certain fa- 

 vorable circumstances in damp atmos- 

 phere, they spore freely in the spring, 

 and thus cause a rapid infection of the 

 soil or of the surrounding plants of tu- 

 lips. 



As these fungi keep alive in the ground 

 and retain their vitality for at least two 

 years, it is certainly not surprising that 

 some grounds are so badly infected by 

 the neglect of proper attention to de- 

 cayed bulbs that no tulip bulbs can grow 

 in them any more. It would be an easy 

 matter to kill these fungi in the ground 

 by the application of a good dose of car- 

 bolineum or similar disinfectant, but ex- 

 perience has shown that the cure is worse

than the disease, because it will make 

 it impossible to grow any crops whatever 

 on ground thus disinfected for many 

 years afterwards. The only practical 

 plan, therefore, is to lift out any of 

 the affected bulbs at the earliest possi- 

 ble date in the spring, together with the 

 surrounding soil, taking great care that 

 nothing is being spilled, and have it all 

 carefully destroyed by burning. If this 

 process is, however, not done with great 

 care, it had better not be done at all.
