bring more money in the spring than 

 many a full yield has done. 



The Holland crop of cabbage, too, is 

 short. 



Some of the real estate holdings of the 

 Griswold Seed Co., Lincoln, Neb., are to 

 be sold at auction October 17 by the 

 referee in bankruptcy. 



In a general way seed crops in England 

 are below the average. The heavy rains 

 that seem most inopportune, have done 

 much damage early and late. 



John VosB'feKG, manager of the vege- 

 table seed department of J. M. Thorburn 

 & Co., New York, died in City Hospital 

 October 11, as the result of a fall on the 

 subway steps at Newark, October 9. He 

 was 33 years of age. 



Inspectors returning from Michigan 

 say the beans are decidedly irregular, 

 some localities having good crops while 

 almost total failure has occurred only a 

 few miles away. Under these conditions 

 one must await actual delivery; no gen- 

 eral average will hold good. 



MOEE HOLLAND-GEOWN BULBS. 



Two extraordinarily large shipments 

 of Dutch bulbs in as many weeks were 

 followed October 2 by a diminutive 

 shipment on board the Rotterdam 

 steamer Nieuw Amsterdam, New York

DANISH SEED CHOPS. 



Hjalmar Hartmann & Co., Copenhagen, 

 say that owing to a short crop last 

 year, large cultivations are the rule this 

 season. The crop outlook is satisfac- 

 tory. The planting of cabbage was 

 limited and rain storms in August dam- 

 aged the crop, so that they do not ex- 

 pect more than about fifty per cent of 

 an average crop. The crop of Brussels 

 sprouts was good. The carrot crop will 

 be late. The flowers set nicely, but 

 the continued rainy and cold weather 

 has hindered the ripening. The crop of 

 garden beet will be small. Last fall 

 it was difficult to induce farmers to 

 grow swedes and turnips, as the prices 

 for wheat, barley and oats ranged high 

 and it was less risk to grow grain in- 

 stead of roots. This has generally re- 

 sulted in small acreages; besides this, 

 the crop was damaged by the heavy 

 rains and about fifty per cent of the 

 seeds were left on the ground. The
