Some of tie Holland houses are refusing 

 to deliver orders booked at the prices 

 quoted last March and April, and refuse 

 to ship unless the revised higher prices 

 be accepted. 



.T. M. Ltjpton, Mattituck, I.. I., writes 

 that Loug Island seed crops have been 



generally light. Spinach was not more 

 than twenty-five per cent of an average 

 crop, and deliveries on contract have 

 been about 25 per cent of orders. Kale, 

 Siberian, has done fairly well, and is 

 sufficient for demands, but the surplus 

 stock is small. The Dwarf Curled Scotch 

 winter killed badly, and was almost a 



plete failure. On cabbage the crops 



of si standard sorts will meet the 



demand, although not large, and there 

 is not mu<-li surplus stock in sight. There 

 are a few varieties which will not be de- 

 luded m Cull, the deliveries on them 

 ranging from 50 per cent to 80 per cent. 

 .Must notable aiming these are Early 

 Winnigstadt, Early Spring, Danish Ball 

 Head and Mammoth Bock Bed, none of 

 which are better than fill per cent of a 

 crop. 



S. M. Pease, of the Cleveland Seed 

 Co., Bochester, 1ST. Y., writes that they 

 "have had very unfavorable weather 

 during the past ten d: 

 ing of sweet corn and 

 made but verv little 



fur the matnr- 

 ins. They have 

 rogress. Some 



pretty well ad- 

 grow from the

ery uneven, on 



pod, on account o 

 harvest of beans v. 



account of the difference in planting. 

 The late plantings will doubtless be 

 caught by frost unless it holds off for a 

 remarkable length of time; and we fear 

 that sweet cum will receive the same 

 treatment, as there are many fields that 

 are just coming into ear. "We do not 

 know of any that have passed the dan- 

 ger point. Field after field of oats cm 

 be seen, in passing through the country, 

 some uncut and some in the shuck, and a 

 large portion of them growing or sprout- 

 ing. ' ' 



Everett B. Clark Co., Milford, 

 Conn., says they cannot report very good 

 crops this season. The weather has gone 

 from the one extreme, early, to the other 

 extreme, late. Early in the season it 

 was very dry — latterly it has been alto- 

 gether too wet. The dry weather all 

 during turnip growing season made that 

 a very light crop. Kale was fair. Par- 

 snip, which received rain in time to savo 

 it from the same fate as that which tur- 

 nip met, was from eighty per ccnl to a 

 full crop. The wet season caused beet 

 to have a very large growth of stalk, 

 which, if it had seeded out, would have 

 made a very large crop, and as it was 

 made a fair crop. Carrot is very light. 

 Onion, which up to the last looked like 

 a fine crop, disappeared in the last few 

 days on account of blast, and some which 

 happened to escape blast we could not 

 harvest at the proper time on account of 

 long continued rains, causing a loss 

 there. Hence onion will be very light.

seed. Lastly, sweet corn is still in the 

 balance. A warm September and free- 

 dom from early frosts will give us a 

 good crop and, the acreage planted being 

 so great, the product of this section in 

 the aggregate would be large. But 

 weather continuing the same as we have 



so far had, a great many pieces ci I 



mature at all for seed. An early frosl 

 would surely bring this result. Only the 

 very earliest plantings and the best land 

 would' then produce seed, and the aggre- 

 gate product would be very light.
