Pea Estimates and Deliveries. 

 Two weeks ago we Btated that one 

 or two of the pea growers had been 

 induced to submit estimates of their 

 expected deliveries on conn acts, but 

 their example does not seem to have 

 been followed up to this time by the 

 majority of the growers. At least we 

 have not learned of any Beyond 

 doubt, however, estimates from prac- 

 tically all may be expected about the 

 first of October, if not before. It 

 seems to be exceedingly difficult for 

 the growers to size up conditions this 

 year and naturally they are reluctant 

 to over-estimate, while at the same 

 time conditions are so bad thai they 

 do not want to represent them as 

 worse than they are. Many seedsmen 

 and canners will have beart failure 

 when the estimates are received by 

 them even when the best possible 

 showing is made; but, as stated pre- 

 viously in these columns, we believe 

 that the general average of deliveries 

 on peas will be better than a year ago, 

 and particularly on such varieties as 

 Gradus, Thomas Laxton, Sutton's Ex- 

 celsior, Nod's Excelsior, Gems, Tele- 

 phones, and in fact nearly all of the 

 large-podded varieties. It may he well 

 to remark here, however, that read- 

 ers should not have their expectations 

 raised too high, as the del veries 

 might be disappointingly low and still 

 be better than last year's. 



The Sweet Corn Outlook. 



We have stated on Information here- 

 tofore received that there was likeli- 

 hood of a considerable shortage in 

 the crop of early sweet emu. but that 

 the later varieties would make a bet- 

 ter showing. Prom the latesl advices 

 received we find that it is necessary 

 to reverse this order, as we are now 

 informed that the early varieties will 

 do considerably better than was ex- 

 pected a month or two months ago,

 -U ally there is a rare bargain in bulbs of quality, but
