i/ The first of the 1916 French bulbs 

 * reached New York August 1, having left 

 Marseilles July 13, 



The French still will be able to send 

 us some radish, but not nearly so much 

 as in normal years. 



Visited Chicago: Ralph M. Ward, 

 New York ; Lawrence S. Payn, represent- 

 ing Simon Louis Freres & Co., Bruyeres- 

 le-Chatel, France. 



The big explosion in New York harbor 

 July 30 broke the plate glass in the seed 

 store windows of Stumpp & Walter Co. 

 and Peter Henderson & Co. 



There has been something brewing that 

 will interest all who buy or sell bulbs, 

 particularly those who sell them. The 

 details may be ready for an announce- 

 ment next week. 



A partnership in a seed business has 

 been formed by Edward A. Peth and 

 Frank Duggan, two widely known seeds- 

 men of New York city, who have leased 

 premises at 87 Barclay street. 



William Kelway, eldest son of James 

 Kelway, who has several times visited the 

 trade in. America on behalf of his firm, 

 Kelway & Son, Langport, England, has 

 been appointed magistrate for his county, 

 Somerset. 



Appraisers of the estate of the late 

 W. Atlee Burpee, Philadelphia, have filed 

 an inventory in the oflfice of the regis- 

 trar of wills at Doylestown, Pa., which 

 appraises the estate at $1,211,990.62, in- 

 cluding real estate valued at $298,450. 



The pea crop in Wisconsin is a light 

 one. Growers are taking in peas at dif- 

 ferent growing stations throughout the 

 state and report the quality excellent. 

 Peas are a better sample than they have 

 been for two years, but the yield has 

 been cut and there will be a short crop 

 harvested in Wisconsin. 



The Holland bulb exporters are more 

 concerned over finding a market for hya- 

 cinth than for tulip or narcissus bulbs. 

 While not meaning to disturb advance or- 

 ders, quotations are being made to those 

 who can use a quantity of bulbs that 

 make hyacinths look cheaper than any- 

 thing the trade can handle this season. 



Beans in Michigan are being hurt by 

 the hot, dry weather, but up till last week 

 the crop was growing well and the pros- 

 pects good. If Michigan is fortunate in 

 getting some good showers during the 

 next few days, it will help the bean crop 

 considerably; otherwise there will be a 

 great deal of damage done, as the plants 

 are just beginning to bloom. The next 

 week or ten days will tell the story in re- 

 gard to the bean crop. 



FREE SEEDS TO CONTINUE. 



If the Senate adopts the recommenda- 

 tions of its representatives among the 

 conferees which have been considering 

 the various amendments to the Agricul- 

 tural Appropriation Bill, it will with- 

 draw its objections to the free seed ap- 

 propriation and there again will be 

 spent this year the sum of $2.52,-540. This 

 paragraph was stricken out by the Sen-
