The Formosa lily bulbs so far inspect- 

 ed are of unusually good quality this 

 year. 



The Paper Whites are proving to be 

 largely twelve to thirteen centimeter, but 

 the quality other than size seems to be 

 good. 



During the 1915 fiscal year grass and 

 other seeds to the value of $22,420 were 

 imported from Glasgow, Scotland, against 

 $20,875 in 1914, according to a report of 

 the U. S. consul there. 



A. H. Smith, treasurer of the 

 Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, leaves for 

 Mackinac, Mich., August 19, for a three 

 weeks' rest at the Grand hotel. He 

 will be accompanied by his wife. 



With Holland bulbs shut out by the 

 government, the trade in England con- 

 cludes that, except for hyacinths. Great 

 Britain can produce all the bulbs that 

 are needed there. Can not America do 

 as muchf 



Canners' costs are higher this season 

 than ever before, and crops are backward, 

 but most packers expect prices to be cor- 

 respondingly high. Conditions seem to 

 indicate that next winter there will be 

 an unusually good demand for seeds of 

 canners' varieties. 



When the British government pro- 

 hibited bringing Dutch bulbs into Eng- 

 land this season it put certain English- 

 men in trouble, for they own bulb-grow- 

 ing establishments in Holland. But the 

 authorities have stated positively that 

 these bulbs shall stay out along with the 

 others. 



The men who offered low prices on 

 French bulbs to secure an order for 

 " Dutch stock, in some cases now are hav- 

 ing the courtesy to notify the customer 

 that the Paper Whites can not be 

 shipped; but in most instances they say 

 not a word, leaving the buyer to guess 

 where he is at. 



There was only a small crop and a 

 stiff ^m^ket for pickles last season, but 

 at the recent Chicago convention of the 

 National Pickle Packers' Association no 

 increase in acreage could be reported, as 

 the increase in northern Indiana and 

 southern Wisconsin is offset by decreases 

 in northern Wisconsin and Michigan. 

 William Ballinger, of Keokuk, la., was 

 elected president of the association. 



The 1917 catalogues will cost more 

 than any previous editions. The greatest 

 increase is on paper, which has doubled 

 in price and on the whole is not so good 

 qu^ty, but halftones are much higher 

 and electrotypes and all other printing 

 costs are up. The trade can count on the 

 1917 books costing fifty per cent more 

 than in 1916. It is an item of tens of 

 thousands of dollars to the big houses. 



Eeport comes from S. F. Leonard, 

 of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, who 

 has been making a tour through the 

 western and coast country, looking over 

 the seed crops, that in some sections 

 the bean crops are not as good as they 

 might be. The chief trouble seems to 

 be lack of water. Though by no means 

 heavy, the Montana pea crop is good.
