quantities arc contracted for by for- 

 eign houses to grow this year. 



Eye grass seed (Westernwoldicum) 

 is saved in big lots. The seed saved 

 from the first crop has a heavy weight 

 and is in great demand, both home and 

 foreign, at a good price. White clover 

 is high in price and wholesale dealers 

 were soon sold out of their fine quali- 

 ties. 



Big lots of caraway are yet unsold. 

 Dull business. The current market price 

 for caraway in Groningen is 20 shillings 

 to 21 shillings 3 pence per fifty kilos. 



BEASLAN'S WILL PROBATED. 



The following is a special dispatch 

 published by the San Francisco Chron- 

 icle under a San Jose date line: 



"The will of the late Charles P. 

 Braslan was filed for probate January 

 20 by the widow, Olga Braslan, and the 

 fact that Braslan 's estate was worth 

 only $5,000 became public. He was one 

 of the best known business men in this 

 community, being president and general 

 manager of the Braslan Seed Growers' 

 Co., which conducted one of the largest 

 seed businesses in the world, but it ap- 

 pears from the will that he owned only 

 one share of the stock of the company. 

 Small bequests to the children are made, 

 but the largest share of the estate goes 

 to the widow." 



CHRISTMAS HYACINTHS. 



Reference already has been made in 

 The Eeview to the treatment by which 

 the Holland bulb growers are able to 

 cause the hyacinth bulb to bloom by 

 Christmas. The following additional 

 particulars from the Horticultural Ad- 

 vertiser (British) will be of interest: 



* * The growers now have a method of 

 specially preparing hyacinths to obtain 

 an early flowering period. If exposed 

 to a temperature of 25 degrees C. 

 shortly after having been lifted, the 

 bulbs flower by Christmas; that is, if 

 the treatment has been all right. Last 

 year many bulbs were prepared in this 

 way and a l.irge number of hyacinths 

 were sold guaranteed to flower at 

 Christmas. Of course, the growers also 

 showed in their nurseries what they 

 were able to do in this respect. And, 

 indeed, the trials had a splendid result. 

 One grower at Lisse had potted about 

 a thousand prepared bulbs and all were 

 in flower by Christmas, almost without 

 exception. Another grower at Heem- 

 stede had so many flowering hyacinths 

 by Christmas that he could plant a 

 whole bed with them in front of his 

 house. It was, of course, an extraor- 

 dinary sight, even in the bulb district,
