Many American firms have dealings 

 with the British firm of Hurst & Son and 

 will learn with regret of the death of its 

 head, N. N, Sherwood, in late July. 



Charles H. Vick, of James Vick's 

 Sons, is chairman of the trade committee 

 in charge of the flower show that is to 

 be a feature of the exposition at Eoches- 

 ter, N. Y., September 4 to 9. 



Last week's boat from Bermuda 

 brought only seventy cases of Harrisii, 

 forty-eight of which were consigned to 

 Peter Henderson & Co., New York, and^ 

 twenty-two to Maltus & Ware, forwarders. 



James Fisher, formerly associated with 

 A. L. Berry & Co., of Chicago, has been 

 appointed sole representative of the 

 Carter's Tested Seeds, Inc., in the mid- 

 dle west. He will office at 180 North 

 Dearborn street, Chicago. 



The entire fourth floor of the building 

 at 258 Fifth avenue, near Twenty-eighth 

 street. New York, has been secured by the 

 Knight & Struck Co. as its new quarters. 

 The company moved to the new address 

 August 1. 



The secretary of state at Springfield, 

 HI., reports the incorporation of the Chi- 

 cago Seed Co., of Chicago, with $5,000 

 capital stock, by Charles H. Hammill, 

 Samuel Guestdorf and Harry Markheim. 

 The latter is a lawyer at 105 West Mon- 

 roe street. He declined to divulge the 

 names of his principals. 



A. H. Smith, treasurer of the Leonard 

 Seed Co., of Chicago, who recently re- 

 turned from Louisville, says there is a 

 heavy yield of onion sets to the acre 

 planted, but the acreage there is small. 

 In that part of the country there have 

 been almost daily rains. The sets are, 

 however, coarse and large. 



Judging from present appearances, the 

 onion set crop in the vicinity of Chicago 

 will be one of the choicest harvested in 

 recent years. The sets wDl average from 

 one-half to three-quarters of an inch. The 

 quality is excellent, dry, hard and uni- 

 form. The yield, however, is not more 

 than half that of average seasons. 



Those who have been over the ground 

 say the navy and wax bean crops of 

 Michigan are suffering heavily as a result 

 of the excessively dry weather. The leaves 

 on the plants are dropping and the pods 

 are shriveling. Unless these crops have 

 rain soon they will be a complete loss. 

 At best it ^ill be more than a fifty per 

 cent loss. 



This is from a British contemporary, 

 dated July 19: "The copious rains and 

 the prevalence of cold nights still keep 

 seed growers in an anxious frame of 

 mind. Some crops will, unless atmos- 

 pheric change comes quickly, be scarce, 

 and not only the growers, but the buyers 

 for big seed houses will have difficult 

 problems to solve." 



Application will be made August 26 

 for letters patent incorporating the Allen 

 & Beils Seed Co., a new concern, which is 

 to be capitalized at $10,000 and which is 

 to engage in a general seed business at 

 Tampa, Fla. Its charter will allow it to 

 engage in business in Cuba and the West '
