An occasional parcel of .flower seeds 

 from Germany comes to hand via the 

 maUs, but they are few and far between. 



In the last fiscal year of the consulate 

 records there were small imports of al- 

 falfa seed from Spain, the total value 

 being $22,854. 



There was unusual heat in the Grand 

 Bapids section last week. Peas suffered 

 to some extent, but conditions are con- 

 sidered fair for this date. 



There are enough people pushing 

 sweet pea seed this summer eo that, if 

 each one has fair business, there should 

 be no scarcity of the flowers next winter 

 and spring. 



California 's output of radish seed will 

 be measurably increased this season and 

 the claim is made that the utmost care 

 has been used by the growers, who see a 

 chance to demonstrate the quality of their 

 stock to those who heretofore have de- 

 pended on European radish. 



The Rudy-Patrick Seed Co., Kansas 

 City, Mo., recently purchased a warehouse 

 and elevator on the Kansas side, which is 

 now being remodeled, and on completion 

 will be used for cleaning and storing, 

 thus relieving the congestion of the pres- 

 ent plant at Ninth and Santa Fe streets, 

 which it will continue to occupy. 



The Holland bulb houses that find 

 themselves with large surpluses because 

 of the closing of the English market nev- 

 ertheless are not in a hurry to cut prices 

 deeply for additional American orders. 

 Their organization is doing good work in 

 this respect, pointing out that prices on 

 advance orders will have to be cut down 

 to meet those quoted in eleventh-hour 

 competition. 



The exportation of grass seed from 

 Ireland, which formerly ran to $1,250,- 

 000, according to U. S. Consul Frost, at 

 Queenstown, was restricted in 1915 to 

 prevent its reaching hostile territory. The 

 quality has advanced with great rapidity, 

 the standard weight per bushel in 1913 

 being fixed by a commission at sixteen 

 to eighteen pounds, whereas in 1915 it 

 was raified to twenty to twenty-four 

 pounds. 



Embassadors of the Dutch bulb houses 

 have arrived in New York in consider- 

 able number during the last month, the 

 majority representing exporters who find 

 themselves this season barred out of their 

 usual market, England. The exporters 

 who regularly canvass the American 

 trade are not sending their men back in 

 any great number, because they feel that 

 they have covered the field pretty thor- 

 oughly. 



The a. a. Berry Seed Co., of Clarinda, 

 la., has had a remarkable growth during 

 the last year, its business increasing 

 $250,000 over that of the previous year. 

 The directors, pleased with the manage- 

 ment, reelected the officers, the following 

 now composing the board of directors and 

 executives: President, A. A. Berry; 

 vice-president, George W. Standage; sec- 

 retary, J. Frank Sinn; treasurer, A. F. 

 Galloway; director, James Shum. The 

 capital stock has been increased from
