Copenhagen, Denmark.—There still are several millions of Hamburg valley pips in the hands of Danish dealers who have not been able to ship them. It is report- ed here the German growers will produce few pips in 1917. Sassenheim, Holland.—It is said that Westerbeek & Klyn established a virtual control of the gladiolus market by the purchase early in the season of prac- tically all the unpledged bulbs in Hol- land of the varieties called for by the American trade. The U-boat situation has interfered with their plans. They had about 400 cases on the Nieuw Am- sterdam when it sailed Jate in January and returned a few days later. London, England.—The new British Wholesale Florists' Federation has been before the Imports Restriction Com- mittee of the government to secure the exclusion of flowers of Dutch bulbs, the importation of the bulbs themselves having been stopped last autumn. Rotterdam, Holland,—The inclination of the government to cause the laying up of Dutch ships rather than expose them to attacks by U-boats is creating a stir in many other countries, but no class is hit harder than the Dutch ex- porters of bulbs and nursery stock. Only a small part of the usual spring ship- ments of nursery stock have gone for- ward, and there still are quantities of gladiolus bulbs to be forwarded, with the fall bulb season only a few months away, and freight piling up every day. The blockade may begin to diminish at any time, but some change must oc- cur soon or the spring nursery stock will not move in time to be of any use to the American trade, and until the block- ade breaks the bulb shipments will be in doubt.
