Alburquerque, N. M. — A new pack- 

 ing shed with side track is being built 

 for the Roswell Seed Co. 



a case of getting something for noth- 

 ing it has been timothy seed and lots 

 of other seeds. 



Latest advices are to the effect that 

 on pea deliveries the European seed 

 pea contractors will be able to do 

 about 10 per cent. 



There is a decided shortage of some 

 kinds of tulips in Holland. Darwins 

 are especially inadequate for the heavy 

 demand this year. 



Many tulips have very tender skins 

 this year, on account of the unkind 

 weather in Holland. They should be 

 kept in the bags as much as possible 

 and not exposed to light and air more 

 than necessary. Seedsmen who deal 

 in bulbs are taking the precaution to 

 advise their customers to this effect as 

 careless handling resulting in scratch- 

 ing or bruising of the exposed bulb 

 flesh is sure to cause decay and loss.

Among the many garden seeds 

 which are reported as scarce in Europe 

 are the French radishes, of which 

 American seed houses have been able 

 to secure only light deliveries and in 

 some cases none at all. 



We learn that the present season of 

 unparalleled drought which has swept 

 over the British Isles has proved very 

 trying to producers of vegetables. 

 This scarcity was apparent at the re- 

 cent annual show of the National 

 Vegetable Society in London, also at 

 an exhibition arranged in connection 

 with the Smallholding Section of the 

 Festival of Empire, Crystal Palace.

NEWS NOTES. 



Watseka, III.— M. E. Wyatt has pur- 

 chased the Wyatt greenhouse plant 

 from his aunt, Mrs. S. M. Wyatt. 



A western concern asserts that tim- 

 othy ought to be half the price of 

 clover. Why? What is the relative 

 cost of production? To our mind 

 timothy has always been too low. It 

 is nearer its proper level now than at 

 any time we can remember in the last 

 thirty years. Why look aghast at 

 fifteen cent timothy? We ought to call 

 it reasonable at twenty — all other 

 things considered. If there ever was 



Loveland, Colo. — A third interest in 

 the Northern Colorado Nursery has
