the rate on peas from 40 cents to 25 cents 

 per bushel, but the fact is the rate on 

 green peas only is to be reduced, from 30 

 cents to 25 cents per bushel. 



On Monday, April 5, the House voted 

 to tie itself hand and foot and put the 

 tariff bill through Friday afternoon, 

 April 9, practically without change as 

 introduced, but subject to a number of 

 amendments to be proposed by the Ways 

 and Means committee, none of which af- 

 fect the seed trade. 



It becomes more apparent from day to 

 day that the tariff bill as passed by the 

 House will be practically rewritten in the 

 finance committee of the Senate. Prac- 

 tically the whole country is up in arms 

 against the Payne bill. The Senate is 

 even a more pronouncedly stand-pat ag- 

 gregation than the House, but if the 

 seedsmen can elbow their way through 

 the press of other interests seeking the 

 attention of Senator Aldrich and his com- 

 mittee, there is yet a possibility of shap- 

 ing the paragraph covering seeds along 

 lines of specific instead of ad valorem 

 duties. ^

JAPANESE AND FRENCH BULBS. 



In regard to crop conditions, advices 

 from Japan indicate a good crop so far 

 and buyers who are willing to pay a fair 

 price for lily bulbs will no doubt get 

 good quality. It must not be forgotten 

 that Yokohama commission men can al- 

 ways pick up stray lots of bulbs, many 

 of which are of doubtful quality, and sell 

 them at much lower prices to importers 

 who do not pay attention to the quality; 

 and for this reason a grower should be
