same proportion as in other businesses 

 may be doubted. If we turn to the 

 figures for last year, we find that the 

 total export amounted to 55,000,000 

 pounds. It may perhaps be granted 

 that the export to Great Britain, Ger- 

 many, Russia, France and Belgium will 

 be considerably smaller, yet the export 

 to America will probably not be less 

 than 11,000,000 pounds — last year it 

 was 12,000,000^and to Scandinavia and 

 Denmark will go another 4,400,000 

 pounds, which, with 2,200,000 added, 

 say, for all other countries, makes an 

 aggregate of 17,600,000 pounds. 



"From these figures it is clear that 

 a third of last year's total will still be 

 exported, so that the trade will in no- 

 wise be at a standstill. The big ad- 

 vance which the trade has made and 

 the good business which the dealers 

 have enjoyed in recent years may be 

 regarded as a support for the coming 

 troublous times. 



"Bulb shipments from the Nether- 

 lands to the United States are mostly 

 invoiced at the American consulate 

 general at Rotterdam, the totals for 

 1912 and 1913 having been in value 

 $927,202 and $996,205, respectively. 

 The Amsterdam consulate invoiced 

 $63,142 and $65,580 worth during the 

 last two years." 



The department's information is, of 

 course, a little old. The records pub- 

 lished by The Review show that already 

 more Holland bulbs have been brought 

 to this country this year than in the 

 entire season of either of the last two 

 years. 



TURKESTAN ALFALFA INFERIOR. 



A warning to alfalfa growers to avoid 

 the use of commercial Turkestan seed 

 is contained in Bulletin No. 138, of the 

 U. S. Department of Agriculture, which 

 is shortly to be issued under the title, 

 "Commercial Turkestan Alfalfa Seed." 



Specialists of the department have 

 been investigating the comparative 

 merits of different kinds of alfalfa seeds 

 and have reached the conclusion that 

 there is nothing to recommend the 

 Turkestan variety for general use in this 

 country. It is, they say, particularly 

 unsuited to the humid climate of the 

 east, which, as a matter of fact, uses 

 most of the Turkestan seed imported 

 into this country. This seed is also not 

 sufficiently hardy to warrant its geu'
