Seed Trade News. 



A Philadelphia seedsman recently 

 disposed of a lot of White Spine cu- 

 cumber to the trade for .$1.50 per pound, 

 spot cash. 



The bulb business has recently shown 

 a decided improvement, the finer varie- 

 ties of narci,ssus. tulips and named hy- 

 acinths being well cleaned up. 



Late European advices are to the ef- 

 fect that many items will be shorter than 

 the August bulletins indicated, notably 

 beet and celery. California growers re- 

 port that many surpluses are being 

 cleaned up at prices much higher than 

 the contract. 



The 1902 crop of New Jersey seeds 

 is cleaning up less than one-half the 

 usual yield, muskmelon, cucnnilier and 

 tomato being a total failure. Onion seed 

 is about one-half a crop. Egg plant and 

 pepper is likewise short, and the sample 

 of many lots will be poor. Fully two- 

 tliirds of the onion seed sown for sets 

 jirodiiced large onions and the long con- 

 tiiiueil spell of wet weather has already 

 >h(iwn its bad eft'cct on the few sets har- 

 vested. Both dwarf and pole beans sold 

 well throughout the season and no seed 

 of these has been saved. Same is true 

 of sweet corn.

 ists' ilannal, by William Scott, the 

 greatest money saver you can add to 

 your et|uip:nent.
