FRENCH BULBS. 



A group of French bulb merchants 

 in the south of France has taken ex- 

 ception to the statement of M. Ber 

 nard regarding crop prospects which 

 was quoted in The Review for April l(i. 

 M. Bernard is quoted as saying that 

 "large sizes of Romans will be scarce 

 and dear this season. This is partly 

 owing to the fact that, in consequence 

 of strong demand, many bulbs were 

 sold which in former years would have 

 been replanted to make the finest 

 bulbs. The frost last January cut the 

 tops, which will probabl}' be found to 

 have affected the bulbs to some extent, 

 a remark also applicable to freesias 

 and narcissi, though the damage in 

 these cases is more difficult to esti- 

 mate." 



His contemporaries have issued a 

 counter statement, as follows: "Re- 

 garding M. Bernard's report about the 

 large sizes of Romans, let us express 

 our wonderment at it. Everyone here 

 is aware that there were not more 

 bulbs sold last year than former ones, 

 and there were as many bulbs of 10 

 cm. and 11 cm. put into the ground 

 last autumn as other years. So there 

 is no reason why large sizes should not 

 be as abundant as in previous seasons, 

 unless there be not favorable weather 

 in April and May. We have dealt in 

 bulbs for many years, therefore we are 

 informed about the condition of bulbs 

 planted. We have visited the bulb 

 fields and we can assert the prospect 

 of crop if. normal up to now. The bulbs 

 hPA'e not been affected at all bv the 

 frost."
