The Florists' Review 



Skitkmber 3, 1914. 



is of interest to note that the receipts 

 so far this season are nearly twice as 

 large as they were at the same time 

 last year, and the shipments last year 

 were earlier than in previous years. 

 There are three possible reasons for 

 this: Either the crop was earlier this 

 year — although previous advices were to 

 the eflfect that it was later; or the Hol- 

 landers are making the regular season 's 

 shipments more rapidly than usual, in 

 order to get the bulbs away from the 

 seat of war as quickly as possible; or a 

 larger quantity is to be sent to the 

 United States this year than has been 

 shipped here in previous years. The 

 large receipts thus far may be due to 

 one of these causes or to a combination 

 of them, but, in view of the statements 

 previolisly made in these columns in 

 reference to this subject, it will readily 

 be seen that the last is probably the 

 most potent cause of the high total of 

 the receipts to date.
