Peas -will be much better property this 

 winter than was the case last season. 



W, H. Crossland, for the last' nine- 

 teen years associated with Northrup, 

 King & Co., Minneapolis, now is with the 

 Courteen §eed Co., Milwaukee. 



Skillful publicity men some time ago 

 found that ' ' beware ' ' and ' ' boomerang ] ' 

 both begin with the same letter and it 

 was a distinct gain for clean advertis- 

 ing. 



Corn crops in Nebraska have been mak- 

 ing splendid progress the last few weeks 

 and the prospect for maturing t^e seed 

 crop of the sugar varieties hefotfi frost 

 is much better than it was. 



After several unlucky years the Cali- 

 fornia seed growers appear to have again 

 come into their own. On the whole, their 

 crops are the best in America and the 

 demand for surplus stock the best on 

 record. 



An authorized statement of the market 

 condition in the bulb district of Holland, 

 by the Dutch Bulb Exporters' Associa- 

 tion, under the "News from Abroad" 

 heading elsewhere in this issue will be of 

 special interest to seedsmen. 



Thi man whose .duty it is to make a 

 catalogue finds his duty this season more 

 difficult than usual. In addition to the 

 ordinary perplexities as to crops, deliver- 

 ies and prices there is the question of the 

 justifiable cost of the book and the size 

 of the edition. 



Thb boat from Bermuda that arrived 

 at New York September 5 brought only 

 twenty-six cases of lily bulbs, consigned 

 to a forwarding agent. The imports for 

 the season amount to only 1,124 cases, or 

 only a fraction of the Harrisii imports 

 of bygone years. . 



The official records show that in the 

 first nine months of the last government 

 year 742,035 pounds of spinach seed were 

 imported. As most of the catalogues 

 recommend sowing one ounce to each 

 100 feet of drill, the imports would plant 

 a row 224,858 miles long, or nine rows 

 around the earth. Some spinach! 



S. F. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed 

 Co., Chicago, who has been making a tour 

 of the western and Pacific coast states 

 during the last few weeks, returned to 

 Chicago tbe first of the week. A. H. 

 Smith, treasurer of the company, who has 

 been vacationing with his wife in Mac- 

 kinac, Mich., is again in his office. 



The appropriation bill for the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture passed by the 

 late and lamented session of Congress in 

 its final form carried the usual provision 

 of $252,540 for the free distributing of 

 seeds. It will be recalled that the Senate 

 struck out the paragraph. It was rein- 

 serted in the conference committee, as 

 has been the case in other years. 



SEEDS IN ALABAMA. 



We often see write-ups of the big 

 things being done in California in seed 

 growing, but little is said about the 

 southern states and what is being done 

 in that and other lines here, so perhaps 

 the following items may be of interest.
