Custom-house brokers now are li- 

 censed bv the government. 



Formosa lily bulbs are selling well, 

 much better than Harrisii. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 has issued a bulletin by E. A. Oakley, 

 "Canada Bluegrass; Its Culture and 

 Uses. ' ' 



The .seed business is no longer a short 

 season affair. The average seedsman 

 manages to keep something doing all the 

 year around. 



Carl R. Gloeckner, president of the 

 Jiuds corporation, New York, states that 

 new warehouse facilities have been se- 

 cured at 81 Barclay street. 



Orders for the south are coming to 

 hand in pleasing volume; market gar- 

 dening is increasing at a tremendous rate, 

 both in the southeast and in Texas. 



Little in the way of detailed news is 

 coming to hand from German seed grow- 

 ers, but advices are to the general effect 

 that conditions there are not materially 

 better than in France and in England. 

 Biennials are a light crop all over Europe. 



It is reported that A. J. Pieters, while 

 retaining an interest in the Pieters- 

 Wheeler Seed Co., Hollister, Cal., of 

 v.hich L. W. Wheeler is now the active 

 head, has removed to Ann Arbor, Mich., 

 where li*" will occupy the chair of botany 

 in the University of Michigan. 



The market for practically all canned 

 vegetables is dull but strong. Prices are 

 not so high as the reports of short packs 

 might lead one to expect, but quotations 

 are largely nominal, there being little 

 actual business stirring, due to the fact 

 that most of the packers are oversold. 



"Fortuxately the weather does not 

 affect to any extent the crop of cyclamen 

 seed." say Stuart Low & Co., Bush Hill 

 Park, England, "or else we should have 

 a very poor report to give indeed. Ours 

 seems to be an average crop, but we 

 have already sold out of Cyclamen Eileen 

 Low, the novelty that we offered this 

 season for the first time, and the seed of 

 Schizanthua Wisetonensis and the new 

 gerbera hybrids are also selling freely."

Things are shaping themselves for a 

 big season of seed selling. Crops grown 

 for market have brought excellent prices 

 in 1910 and, on the other hand, the con- 

 tinued high cost of living will cause great 

 numbers of people to depend more on 

 their gardens next year. So the seeds- 

 men will get an increase, both on the 

 little orders and the big.
