RADISH seed promises to be a fairly 

 good crop in the Michigan sections. 



It is stated that the Everett B. Clark 

 Co., Milford', Conn., is to build a ware- 

 house at Sister Bay, Wis. 



The Albert Dickinson Seed Co., Chi- 

 cago, is erecting a seed warehouse and 

 elevator midway between St. Paul and 

 Minneapolis. 



The Minnesota Field Seed Growers' 

 Association was formed at St. Paul. Sep- 

 tember 2, with C. C. Thompson, Farm- 

 ington, president. 



Visited Philadelphia : Alfred Em- 

 erich and Le Gomte d 'Estienne d 'Orves, 

 of Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co., Paris, 



France. They will make a tour of the 

 southern and western states and return 

 to New Fork by way of Niagara Falls. 



It looks now as though the position of 

 the French bulb growers was mure or 

 less warranted by crop conditions. The 

 market at Toulon and Ollioules is report- 

 ed well sold out, closing prices on Ro- 

 mans, 12 centimeters ;nnl up, being about 

 80 francs. Some American jobbers have 

 had many cancellations on orders for 

 early delivery and American consumption 

 is likely to be considerably reduced if 

 this season 's prices are maintained. 



Alfred J. Brown, Grand Rapids, 

 Mich., writes, September 5: "The pros- 

 pect for a crop of beans is not as good 

 as it was a few weeks ago. We hove 

 had entirely too much rain and many 

 crops have been damaged to a large ey. 

 tent. Even with the most favorable 

 weather from now until harvest, the cron 

 will be short, while, on the other hand, 

 if we should have unfavorable weather 

 or an early frost, it would be very disa»- 

 lious. The weather at the present time 

 is cold arid the prospects are somewhat 

 gloomy. ' ' 



A, Le Coq & Co., Darmstadt, Ger- 

 many, report under date of September 1 

 that the crops of natural grass seeds, 

 with the exception of the later sorts, 

 are now harvested and in most cases 

 crops have turned out larger than last 

 year. Prices in general will be about 

 as last year, but festueas lower. Phala- 

 ris arundinacea will see. Higher prices be- 

 cause of small crops, also Agrostis stol- 

 iiiiil'era ami A. vulgaris, Bromus inermis 

 and Cynosurus cristatus. Qualities will 

 differ widely because of recent bad 

 weather. 



cited, the vine seed crops in this locality 

 are not more than twenty-five percent ,,'f 



the expected yield. This coupled with 



I he t,ti I that very little or no vine seeds 

 were carried over makes the outlook for 

 1904 very dubious. The crops of early 

 tomatoes are now being cleaned up and 

 the yield is only from twenty to twontv- 

 five per cent of that originally provided 

 for. Pepper ami okra seed will even be 

 of a lower average than tomato. All 

 bulb deliveries are much later than usual.
