about ten per cent, both in number 

 of orders and in amount received. This 

 difference in the trade is largely owing 

 to the fact that last season there was 

 an unusually heavy demand for seed 

 corn, there being a great shortage 

 throughout this seH;ion. This year the 

 demand is only normal. The local trade, 

 however, has this year far exceeded 

 last season, every month showing a 

 good, healthy growth. The thing par- 

 ticularly noticeable this year in the 

 mail orders is the large increase in the 

 demand for flowering and bedding 

 plants, both in the greenhouse plant 

 line and in herbaceous stock and small 

 roses. The demand for two-year-old 

 dormant roses and shrubbery is some- 

 what less th?.n last season.

 Our counter trade business has been

 trade much better than in former sea- 

 sons. 



BULB BUSINESS BOOMING. 



J. Keur, of C. Keur & Sons, Hillegom, 

 Holland, is preparing to sail from New 

 York on the Lusitania, May 31. This 

 has been his seventeenth annual voyage 

 to America and, he says, the most suc- 

 cessful he has yet had in the number 

 and size of orders. Mr. Keur avers that 

 the market for Holland bulbs and 

 plants is increasing faster in America 

 than in any other country of the world. 

 He has found that the specific duty 

 of $1 per thousand on tulips is a con- 

 siderable help to the bulb salesmen; it 

 nets the government about as much 

 revenue as the old twenty-five per cent 

 ad valorem rate would do at current 

 prices for mixtures and leading bedding 

 and florists' sorts, but it relieves the 

 transaction with the custom house of 

 much of its difficulty. As Mr. Keur 

 puts it, "Anyone can count, though 

 not everyone can figure. ' ' 



It is not generally known, but Mr. 

 Keur is largely responsible for the re- 

 cent court decision fixing the rate of 

 duty on hyacinths at 50 cents per thou- 

 sand. Possibly others discovered the 

 loophole afforded by the grammatical 

 construction of the present tariff act, 

 but Mr. Keur was the first to take 

 action. It was because of his initiative 

 that one of his customers in Boston

You must have the best of 



Lily Bulbs to produce good 



flowers. You can not afford 



to economize in the price of 

 Lily Bulbs as you could in 

 the price of garden hose, 

 because cheaper garden hose 

 would merely be less valu- 



able; whereas an ugly plaht 



or flower has no value at all. 



Don't try to economize too 

 much on the first cost of Lily 

 Bulbs, because it does not 

 pay in the end. Most im- 

 porters, both famous and 

 infamous, buy where they 

 can buy cheapest, with little 

 regard for quality. There 

 are no bulbs produced with 

 more care than Horseshoe 

 Brand Bulbs. Cold storage
