size of the crops of both hyacinths and 

 tulips was considerably reduced by the 

 sudden early arrival of summer condi- 

 tions in the bulb district, but that the 

 quality of the bulbs, particularly their 

 forcing qualities, will be exceptionally 

 good this season. 



"Writing in Holland early in July, tho 

 correspondent of one of the English 

 trade journals said: 



"The lifting was started fully two 

 weeks ahead of last year. No doubt 

 that the warm weather will not miss 

 its favorable effect on the flowering ca- 

 pacities of this year's bulbs, but it also 

 means considerable less quantity in the 

 crop. At the present moment it is es- 

 timated that the general crop of bulbs 

 will be twepty-five per cent less than 

 last year's, and although the early 

 tulips, that had almost finished growth 

 when the hot weather came on, have 

 not suffered so much, it is quite certain 

 that the late or May-flowering tulips 

 will prove to be a poor crop. Crocus 

 have also died off far too early, and 

 will not be as good as last year; but 

 narcissus and iris are likely to bring 

 quite as good a crop, although the acre- 

 age planted out is not as large. Spiraea 

 are just now in full bloom and making 

 a beautiful show, but not one-half the 

 usual quantity is planted out, as last 

 year's sales have kept the stocks too 

 close. ' ' 



BACTEBIA CORPOBATION FAILS. 



Another of the nitrogen fixing bac- 

 teria companies has succumbed to the 

 difficulties of introducing its product, 

 a petition in bankruptcy having been 

 filed July 22 against the Standard Ni- 

 trogen Co. at New York. 



The company is a South Dakota cor- 

 poration, incorporated October 1, 1909, 

 with capital stock of $10,000,000, di- 

 vided into 2,000,000 shares at $5 each, 

 to manufacture a patent fertilizer for 

 agricultural purposes, by producing cul- 

 tures of bacteria which absorb nitrogen 

 from the air. The fertilizer was put up 

 in small bottles, and a 50-cent bottle 

 was said to inoculate a bushel of seed 

 or 100 pounds of soil. The company, it 

 i« said, bou^t 2,500 acres of land at 

 Tuckerton, N. J., anct 1,000 acres at 



Norwich, Conn., for experimental pur- 

 poses, and had a laboratory and plant 

 at Eichmond, Va. 



Considerable money was spent in de- 

 veloping the business, but it did not 

 prove as profitable as anticipated, and 

 some of the men interested in the com- 

 pany withdrew. "William P. Kellogg, 

 former United States senator and gov- 

 ernor of Louisiana, whose name ap- 

 peared on the list of directors, with- 

 drew, it is said, several months ago. 



G. E. Heyl is president. Liabilities of 

 the company are said to be $86,000 and 

 assets $11,800, consisting of stock 

 $3,000, accounts $5,800, laboratory 

 $2,000, and land $1,000. 



THE SPECIFIC DUTIES. 



There is some complaint that the 

 present duties on seeds average higher 

 than under the old ad valorem system, 

 but most of the trade take the view of
