Mention The Review when yon write. much on the increase in the United King- dom and in consequence of the heavy home crop it is anticipated a much larger acreage than the average will be soven for forage purposes. In rye grasses and natural grasses the crops, taking the whole of Europe, may be said to be slightly below the aver- age in quantity and already some natural grasses are ruling higher than last year, timothy included, which apears to be in short supply on both continents. Sain- foin and lucerne both are in full supply, of above average quality. Prices so far are lower than usual, but as supplies in America are almost nil prices may con- siderably improve. Prices are already ruling considerably higher on the conti- nent than in England. Taken as a whole, great care will need to be exercised in making wholesale pur- chases this season, of either clovers or grasses. B. J. DUTCH BULB PROSPECTS. The advance guard of the Dutch bulb travelers has already landed in America, and probably an increased number will visit the United States this year. It is perhaps a little difficult to forecast the probable prices, during deliveries of 1907, for all classes of Dutch bulbs, but for two principal items, tulips and daffo- dils, I think it is fairly safe to predict fairly high prices, probably fully as high as prevailed during May and June of last year, but yet not so high as the prices obtained for sales made during the time of shipment. The reasons which lead me to these conclusions are several, chief among them being the fact that all sorts of daffodils and narcissi as cut bloom are this season realizing fair prices in all parts of the world. A much reduced acreage was planted last autumn in Holland for stock purposes.

PerlOO $7 00 7,00 Per 1000 $23.00 22.00 38.00 35.00 Per 100 Per 1000 The English market grower will be a greatly increased customer during the coming season, against which there is a much smaller stock in Holland to come upon the market in 1907. This class of bulb is also increasing in demand in other countries. It is also significant that daffodils did not figure to any ex- tent in the purchases made by the new growers who last year established them- selves in the north of Holland. Proba- bly they will be required by these grow- ers next season. Tulips, on account of large export de- mand of last year and the large quan- tity of bulbs used for stock in the new cultures mentioned above, were planted in decreased quantities, against a proba- bly increased demand for both foreign and bedding sorts, especially the former, from all over the world, and particularly in England. As to the crop outlook, it is too early to say much with accuracy, but, all things considered, the bulb trade Aster Seed Vick's Branching, late White Aster, $1.00 per oz.; $12.00 per lb. The above seed is from care- fully selected stock and should give good satisfaction. WHITE BROS., Gasport, N. Y.
