A MAN whose 1915 catalogue can't be

 concerned. 



H. F. Darrow, New York, has word 

 from Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co., Paris, 

 France, that they are slowly recovering 

 from the first effects of the war and 

 have already made some small shipments 

 to the United States. The outlook at 

 date of writing was that they would be 

 able to complete all their shipments, al- 

 though there may be some unavoidable 

 delays under the present/iflrcumstances. 

 The steamships sailing between Havre 

 and New York have resumed almost their 

 regular services. 



ENGLISH SEEDS SITUATION. 



James Carter, Dunnett & Beale, Lon- 

 don, have written the following letter 

 to their friends in this country: 



* ' We have noticed more than one ref- 

 erence in the American press to the war 

 conditions which unhappily prevail in 

 Europe at the present time, suggesting 

 that seedsmen in the United States and 

 Canada cannot look with confidence to 

 Great Britain for their usual supply of 

 seeds. We feel called upon to send you 

 this communication, as one of our old 

 correspondents, to give you the assur- 

 ance that there is no foundation for 

 such fears. We at home have every 

 confidence in the British fleet being able 

 to safeguard the high road across the 

 Atlantic and to assure uninterrupted 

 traffic, which will maintain with regu- 

 larity the commercial relations between 

 the two continents. Our Americans can 

 look to British sources of supply with 

 the same confidence as they have done 

 in times of peace." 



THE BRITISH ATTITUDE. 



The following shows clearly the Eng- 

 lish trade attitude toward German 

 seeds and is of more than passing in- 

 terest to American seedsmen. It is a 

 clipping from the Gardeners' Magazine, 

 London: 



"For two or three weeks past the 

 staff of the Gardeners' Magazine has 

 been keeping a sharp lookout for a 

 possible effort on the part of the Ger- 

 man trade to export their seeds to Great 

 Britain. We have na personal quarrel 

 with any German seedsman or nursery- 

 man, but at the present we are, as a 

 nation, at war with Germany, and there- 

 fore must do all we can to prevent the 

 exportation of seeds from that coun- 

 try, and to encourage the cultivation 

 of flower and vegetable seeds within 

 the Empire and in friendly countries. 

 As a result of our inquiries we ob- 

 tained a letter directed to a wholesale 

 seed house from a firm in Copenhagen, 

 offering German seeds, among others, 

 and stating, 'as we can import by Dan- 

 ish steamers from Russia, Germany and 

 Austria via German ports, and ship 

 ogBxn by Ds&iiA steamers from Copen-
