In the same period the imports of 



bulbs, trees and plants were valued at 



$2,881. 



THE HOLLAND BULB CROP. 



Weather conditions in Holland have 

 been such that the harvesing of bulbs 

 is nearly a fortnight behind the usual 

 period. The tulips have now been lifted 

 and there is, generally speaking, an ex- 

 cellent crop, both in quantity and in 

 quality. The demand for most sorts has 

 been and is strong, but there is not so 

 great a volume of orders as was hoped 

 for the high priced varieties,, and there 

 is a prospect of some fall in prices on 

 these. The salesmen returning from 

 America brought no increase in volume 

 of orders for forcing varieties, but had 

 an increase on orders for the bedding 

 sorts. The same is true of trade condi- 

 tions in England. 



The hyacinths are now being lifted and 

 everything is indicating a satisfactory 

 harvest. The weather in June was ex- 

 tremely wet and cold, which retarded the 

 ripening of all sorts of bulbs, but the 

 earlier part of the season was favorable, 

 so that it does not seem that any harm 

 has been done by the bad weather of 

 June. Narcissus and crocus will not 

 ripen until the end of the current month, 

 but it looks as though a fairly good crop 

 will be harvested. 



The shipment of bulbs on orders will 

 be somewhat later than usual, because of 

 the backwardness of other operations. 



THE GURNEY SEED CO. 



The Eeview of July 15 chronicled the 

 fact that the Gurney Seed Co. will build, 

 this fall, a two-story warehouse at Yank- 

 ton, S. D. The Yankton people are ex- 

 tremely well pleased at this news, as there 

 had been some talk that the concern 

 might locate elsewhere. 



The Gurney Seed Co. was organized 

 three years ago the coming September, 

 with C. W. Gurney as president; E. R. 

 Gurney, vice-president , and D. B. Gurney, 

 secretary and treasurer. The business the 

 first year exceeded the incorporators' ex- 

 pectations; the second year the business 

 doubled, and the third year — the present 

 season — the business has been more than 

 twice that of last season. This spring, in 

 connection with its retail trade, the firm 

 began a jobbing business. Besides giving 

 employment to over forty persons during 

 the greater portion of the year, the firm 

 affords an opportunity to many local 

 farmers to increase their income. The 

 ofiSce and field forces will be greatly in- 

 creased as soon as the new building is 

 ready for occupancy. D. R. Gurney is 

 the manager. C. W. Gurney and E. R. 

 Gurney, who are associated in the man- 

 agement, are both business men, the 

 former being proprietor of the Yankton 

 Nursery and the latter a banker of Fre- 

 mont, Neb. 



Rawsoo's New Pink Beaoty Lupine 



Should now be sown for an early fall crop in the hot- 

 house. It has proven one of the most profitable crops 

 during the last season and must be considered one of 

 the best novelties of recent years.
