 as they could with the stock on hand. 



It will soon be possible to tell with some 

 degree of exactness what the supply of 

 sweet peas will be. The work of the 

 aphis left the fields so spotty that noth- 

 ing short of sacking the seed will tell 

 what the supply of anv one variety will 

 be. 



AMON(i the Americans crowding the 

 lX)ats from Europe have been a number 

 of Dutch bulb salesmen returning to this 

 country to try to work off some of the 

 bulbs left on exporters' hands by the 

 cancellation of orders in England, Ger- 

 many and Prance. 



An English trade paper states: 

 ' ' There is a rumor that export of seed 

 from England is to be prohibited, but 

 this may allude to cereals and vegetable 

 seeds only. So far as seed is concerned, 

 it is all too obvious that no crops will be 

 forthcoming from the continent, and 

 unless there are big reserves in band at 

 Me present time,'' tjacp" areu:iS»rioA times

JAPAN'S LILY BULB EXPOETS. 



Consul General Scidmore, at Yoko- 

 hama, has made the following report to 

 tte State Department on the export of

"Last year (1913) the United States 

 imported 9,653,805 bulbs, valued at 

 $202,401. The following table shows 

 the exports during the last five years:

BULB MABKET BECOVEBING. 



The bulb markets are recovering 

 from the unsettlement which followed 

 the first shock of the declaration of 

 war in Europe. Possibly nothing ha.s 

 so greatly contributed to the restora- 

 tion of the equanimity of the Holland 

 exporters as has the reopening of com- 

 munication with England and with 

 Germany. Another strong factor, no 

 doubt, has been the realization that 

 any act that would seriously depress 

 the values of bulbs would react on 

 themselves through the effect it would 

 have on orders already booked in 

 America and other countries. It seems 

 that the upsetting o^ the market that 

 was a festure of the situation in the 

 United States in August was due to the 

 thoughtlessness of agents who sent 

 letters, principally to the other fellow's 

 customers, couched in language they 

 have since come to regret, as- it had 

 more effect on orders already booked 

 than it did in securing new business 

 to take up the surplus. The drastic 

 cutting of prices received a sharp check 

 when buyers notified the shippers that, 

 while they would let their orders stand, 

 they would expect New York prices at 

 date of delivery to govern instead of 

 tlie prices at which the orders had 

 been booked. "What is the use of forc- 

 ing the surplus if thereby the sales
