a considerable part of the cargo had .to 

 go into bonded warehouse, which in- 

 creased the cost of the bulbs $1 per case. 



In spite of the haste with which the 

 Dutch bulbs, lifted in June, were dis- 

 patched at the end of July and first part 

 of August, the quality of the stock ap- 

 pears to be excellent. It seems to be 

 cleaned, cured, sorted and packed as 

 well as ever. 



It now seems probable that larger 

 quantities of European seeds than had 

 been expected will be delivered this sea- 

 son. Many parcels have arrived by mail 

 during the last fortnight and there are 

 indications that transportation is gradu- 

 ally opening for the bulkier articles. 



^ Beports filtering in from Europe indi- 

 cate that the various peoples from whom 

 we draw seed supplies are slowly settling 

 down to an acceptance of the war basis 

 and that regular business is being re- 

 sumed after such a fashion as is possible 

 with half the workers gone with the 

 armies. 



According to the report of Batekin's 

 Seed House, at Shenandoah, la., the con- 

 cern 's present growing crops of seed corn 

 are in excellent condition, fully two weeks 

 ahead of last year's in growth and ma- 

 turity. If present favorable conditions 

 continue to about the middle of October, 

 full deliveries will be made on all or 

 almost all .varieties. 



French bulbs from Holland! Per- 

 haps it has happened before, but not 

 often. Some of the Paper Whites and 

 Bomans now being delivered reached New 

 York by way of Botterdam, having been 

 originally sold to Holland houses to fill 

 English orders. When the English orders 

 were canceled the only available market 

 was America and the bulbs were promptly 

 reshipped. 



HOLLANDERS GOT BEAL BUSY. 



Correspondence that has come to hand 

 in the last few days tells of the way 

 the declaration of war was received 

 in Holland. Apparently the bulb ex- 

 porters were ahead of us in appreciat- 

 ing that the great conflict was inevita- 

 ble and they promptly realized that it 

 would have serious consequences. Hol- 

 land had harvested the best bulb crop
