German mails dated Quedlinburg, April 

 3, arrived in Chicago July 10. 



It develops that the acreage of sw«et 

 corn in Maine this year is much less 

 than usual and the condition far back- 

 ward. 



The Gray Seed Co., of Billings, Mont., 

 has been superseded by the Billings Seed 

 Co., a new organization, of which S. D. 

 Macdonald is a member. 



W. W. Barnard, Chicago, who returned 

 recently from California, leaves July 17 

 on a tour of inspection of the pea crops 

 in Michigan and Wisconsin. 



The weather has turned much more 

 favorable for the pea and bean growers, 

 but it is feared that it is too late to naake 

 much difference in the bean situation; 

 another short crop is inevitable. 



Although the arrivals of German seeds 

 have almost ceased since April, when a 

 considerable quantity came in by parcel 

 post, a number of houses still are hoping 

 that their pansy seed will get through 

 the blockade. 



The first Harrisii bulbs of the 1916 

 crop arrived at New York July 3. It was 

 only twenty-eight cases, three consigned 

 to E. Fur dell and twenty-five to Maltus 

 & Ware. The next trip of the Bermudian 

 will bring the first important shipment 

 of the season.
