 acres of land in the grape belt at Dun- 

 kirk, N. V. Most of the stock is Con-

At Omaha two nurserymen, C. H. 

 Green and L. E. Greene, became involved 

 in an imbroglio because of mistaken iden- 

 tity, each repudiating orders taken by the 

 other. 



A. Pinoteau, superintendent of parks 

 at Montreal, is planting a great many 

 shrubs this fall, to replace bedding 

 plants, the use of which has been aban- 

 doned in many situations. 



Proe. H. T. Fernald, entomologist for 

 the state of Massachusetts, has just com- 

 pleted the annual inspection of nurser-

 ists' establishments, where some nur- 

 sery stock is carried.

Seed Trade News. 



AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. 



Pres., S. F. Wlllard, Wethersfleld. Conn.; First 

 Vici-Pn-s.. J. Ohaa. McCnlloutrh. Cincinnati, O.; 

 Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kend.l, Cleveland, o, 

 Tlie 32.1 annual meeting will be held at St. Louis. 



There seems to be anxiety on the part 

 of bouquet green jobbers to cover their 

 sales. 



WHAT per cent will be delivered on 

 contract sweet corn orders is an import- 

 ant question just now. 



Beans are drying slowly; there will 

 likely be a delay in the delivery of con- 

 tract orders owing to this. 



Work ou the catalogues is being pushed 

 and there seems to be a shortage of nov- 

 elties as well as of cucumber seed. 



The farmers in the northwest are in- 

 terested in the macaroni wheats, and 

 many will sow them for trial next year. 



The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, 

 O., has an output of some 2,000 barrels 

 of tomato pulps, which they sell to a 

 catsup maker. 



Visited Chicago: H. W. Jones, of 

 the Sioux City Seed and Nursery Co., 

 Sioux City, la., on his way home from 

 northern Michigan. 



This cold snap has caused a hustle 

 among the onion set growers to get win- 

 ter quarters for the scattering lots that 

 are still left in the open. 



J. C. Eobinson, of Waterloo, Neb., 

 calls attention to the fact that his cir- 

 cular on the cucumber seed situation was 

 wrongly credited in our last issue. 



The liabilities of the Cape Vincent 

 Seed Co. are scheduled at $2S,907 and 

 assets $40,076. A debt of $25,000 to 

 the United National Bank is in dispute. 



Bogers Bros., of Chaumont, N. Y., are 

 offering a novelty in the way of a new 

 pole bean, the Golden Carmine. The 

 new pea, Dwarf Champion, is another of 

 their introductions. 



E. L. Osborn, formerly manager of 

 the Blant Seed Co. 's interests at Petos- 

 key, Mich., is reported as about to en- 

 gage in seed growing under the name 

 of the Petoskey Seed Co. 



As we go to press the local pickle men 

 are holding a convention at the Palmer 

 House, Chicago. Information of value 

 bearing upon the cucumber seed situa- 

 tion could probably be picked up from 

 ill"-' in attendance. 



( iwixci to full deliveries in general of 

 crops from the Pacific coast this year 

 and a doubt as to what the coming de- 

 mand for mi.1i seeds will be, makes 

 rougher sledding than ordinary for the 

 growers from the coast who are looking 

 for advance contract orders. 



Nothing new has developed the past 

 week to alter the corn and cucumber sit- 

 uation. Things remain about as they 

 have been, and anyone who is well enousrli 

 posted to give definite figures covering 

 the probable quantities in sight or the 

 actual value of either cucumber seed or 

 sweet corn is in hiding.
