As time passes it becomes more and 

 more evident that the crop of Formosa 

 lily bulbs was larger than expected. 



Horace Cheeseman, widely known in 

 the trade, has joined the forces of Ealph 

 M. Ward & Co., New York, as traveler. 



No doubt one effect of the European 

 war win be to turn to the American mar- 

 ket an unusually large part of the Japa- 

 nese lily bulb crop of 1914. 



Aethue B. CiiAEK, president of the 

 Everett B. Clark Seed Co., Milford, 

 Conn., is inspecting the concern's peas 

 and beans, making his headquarters at 

 East Jordan, Mich. 



J. W. Eatekin, Shenandoah, la,, states 

 that sweet corn in his section is in ex- 

 cellent condition and at least two weeks 

 earlier than in average years, so that 

 danger of frost is slight. 



On the steamer Philadelphia, from 

 Southampton, which reached New York 

 August 14, were thirty-seven cases of 

 bulbs consigned to Maltus & Ware and 

 one case consigned to Peter Ilenderson 

 & Co. 



The crop prospects for all California 

 beans continue to be excellent and in fact 

 were never brighter. A large production, 

 much exceeding that of last year, is con- 

 fidently looked for, but in spite of this 

 the California grower is convinced that 

 he has nothing to lose and possibly much 

 to gain by holding his stocks. 



Mail posted on the eve of the break- 

 ing out of hostilities has been arriving 

 in the last few days and seems to indi- 

 cate that Germany was on the point of 

 harvesting an excellent seed crop, some 

 varieties being, of course, already in. 

 The chances are the crops will be saved. 

 If they cannot be cleaned and shipped 

 at the usual time, they will become avail- 

 able when the war is over.

BULB MAKKF.T BREAKS. 



In line with the possibility suggested 

 exclusively in The Eeview for August 

 6, the market for Dutch bulbs has been 

 in a state of complete demoralization 

 for the last few days. The market for 

 French bulbs, which stiffened on the 

 declaration of hostilities, also has weak- 

 ened, but has not been so badly affected 

 as is the case with the Dutch stock. 

 There has been little business done on 

 hyacinths and tulips, as none cared to 

 take hold even at the low quotations 

 made by the representatives of the 

 Holland growers. "While most of the 

 Holland travelers are home, many of 

 the leading exporters now have resi- 

 dent representatives in this country 

 and it is to these that the present state
