 Secretary-Treasurer, 0. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O. 



H. A. Naldrett has arrived in New 

 York for his annftal trip for Kelway & 

 Son, Langport, England. 



Wet weather has cost the growers of 

 pansy seed more dollars than a few. Many 

 blooms have rotted instead of setting 

 seeds. 



The peas in Michigan and Wisconsin 

 are decidedly late and the chances of in- 

 jury are increasing every day the cold,i 

 wet weather continues. 



The Four States Seed Co., of Clayton, 

 N. M., has been incorporated at $5,000, 

 all paid up. The directors are : A. Hart- 

 ner, of Denver, Colo.; W. L. Franklin, 

 of Clayton, N. M.; A. Heglemen, of 

 Denver, Colo. • 



The onion sets around Chicago, now the 

 one great growing center for this spe- 

 cialty, have had a lot more rain than they 

 needed through June and the fields are 

 spotty, some excellent pieces and some not 

 nearly so good. 



The British order in council prohibit- 

 ing the importation of bulbs and plants 

 does not apply to those grown in France, 

 but bars those grown in Japan, and Guern- 

 sey as well as in Holland. *' Romans, 

 Paper Whites and caaididuras from 

 France can be marketed in England. 



June has been an excellent month for 

 the seed trade. Of course mail orders 

 have dwindled to almost nothing and 

 counter sales of seeds have become almost 

 as small, but plants, which are a feature 

 of steadily increasing importance in seed 

 stores, have sold in unusual numbers all 

 through the month. 



Galloway Bros., Waterloo, la., are 

 doubling the capacity of their garden 

 seed warehouse. According to George 

 Hall, general business has been better 

 with them than it was last year. He 

 says there are strong indications of a 

 repetition of last season's clover seed 

 conditions, as there has already been too 

 much rain. 



A. M. Eldridge, Shenandoah, la., sec- 

 retary of the Iowa Seed Dealers' Asso- 

 ciation, under date of June 20 issued "A 

 Little Story" about that organization's 

 annual convention earlier in the month, a 

 4-page leaflet that won 't tell you a whole 

 lot about the seed business but will make 

 you smile as you read it. Send for it, 

 and mark Mr. Eldridge as a westerner 

 worth watching. 



Since England announced that imports 

 of Dutch bulbs will be refused admission 

 this year, the trade in America has been 

 receiving many offers from firms not well 

 known in this country and which have 

 heretofore found their principal market 

 in the British Isles. The situation in 

 Holland is shown by the fact that prices 

 on tulips are not cut to any great extent, 

 but that offers of hyacinths are made 

 much below prices at which export orders 

 have been taken by the travelers who 

 visited America this season. Narcissi, 

 too, especially where the character of the 

 bulb is not specified, are offered at ex- 

 tremely cheap prices. These offers, while 

 apparently producing little business for
