shorter plants carried two or three 

 flowers each, while the taller ones had 

 from four to eight flowers each, a few 

 having eleven blooms to the plant. Most 

 of them came in for Easter, some earlier 

 and some later. The loss by disease 

 was only about four per cent. The 

 disease, if such it was, proved quite 

 different from that which affects Har- 

 risii. I think there is a chance here 

 for some good lily specialist to get up 

 a splendid strain of stock by careful 

 selection, continued through several 

 years. The same results that I ob- 

 tained with this first lot might not hap- 

 pen in a general way,, but I think 

 florists will do well to give the Formosa 

 bulbs a fair trial all over. E. Fryer.

HOLLAND BULBS. 



Tiie Holland bulb growers not only 

 made an unusually good start this year 

 at lifting their bulbs, but the drying 

 has progressed under favorable weather 

 conditions, in marked contrast to the 

 circumstances which attended the work 

 of preparing last year's crop for ship- 

 ment. The sudden arrival of summer, 

 which stopped the growth of the bulbs, 

 has resulted in a smaller crop than was
