.1. Leland Pi an old and well 



known seedsman, died September 28 at 

 his home at 481 Fullerton avenue, Chi- 

 cago. He was 58 years of age and for 

 tho past six years had traveled for the 

 Leonard Seed Co. Prior to that he was 

 in business for himself. The funeral 

 services were held at the chapel at Rose 

 Hill cemetery September 30, Dr. .Tenkin 

 Lloyd Jones officiating. 



C. P. Coy & Son, Waterloo, Xeb., write 

 that "as yet there has been no frost in 



light frost that we have had was rather 

 a benefit to corn than otherwise, as it 



will start it to ripening up. Vine s I 



crops are very poor indeed, and there is 

 now no chance for any improvement 

 over present conditions. Owing to the 

 long continued ruins and cold weather 

 tho vines have died out without maturing 

 fruit, and returns will be very light. 

 Early sweet corn promises well .and we 

 ■ In not look for any shortages on such 

 varieties. The latter kinds require a con- 

 tinuance of the present good weather for 

 two weeks or so yet. ' ' 



The Cox Seed Co., of San Francisco, 

 is now sacking and shipping the crop of 

 seeds, and Thos. Cox sivs orders are be- 

 ing generally filled in ' full. There is 

 some shortage in onions and lettuce and 

 sweet, peas are the shortest in years, but 

 on the whole it is the best all-round de- 

 livery for many seasons. Culinary peas 

 were damaged by dry weather, the early 

 varieties suffering particularly. Mr. 

 Cox notes no falling off in the demand 

 for sweet peas, in fact the call seems 

 larger than ever. The labor problem is 

 the most serious one the Pacific coast 

 seed grower has to solve. ' ' Chinese 

 cheap labor ' ' is now a myth. The Cox 

 Co. is paying its Chinamen $1.50 a day. 

 The cost of seed production is constantly 

 increasing while the general trend of 

 s'eed prices seems to l>e downward. It 

 would seem as though the. time had come 

 for the seed growers to ' ' get together. ' ' 

 The growers are specializing more and 

 more as to locality and soil for various 

 seed crops as experience teaches, and 

 the grower of a general line has his 

 fields pretty well scattered.
