It is reported that the crop of onion 

 sets yielded at the best only one-third of 

 the normal. On the other hand, the qual- 

 ity is said to be the best that has been 

 harvested in years. 



A LIBERAL rainfall last week in many 

 sections of the southland materially in- 

 creased the demand for seasonable seeds, 

 according to W. B, Ewing, of McKay, 

 Beece & Co., Nashville, Tenn. 



The time has come again for the burn- 

 ing of midnight oil and the speedy com- 

 pletion of the catalogue. The cost will 

 be much greater than in other years and 

 the perplexity as to supply and prices at 

 least as great as heretofore. 



The well-known British firm of Wat-

 large number of readers of The Review

 delphia, November 1, occurred the wed- 

 ding of W. Atlee Burpee II and Miss 

 Jeanette D. Lee. After a honeymoon 

 trip Mr. and Mrs. Burpee will be at home 

 at St. James Apartments, Thirteenth and 

 Walnut streets.

 that this season made deliveries on it's 

 advance orders for French bulbs, are 

 soliciting orders for 1917 crop at an ad- 

 vance of exactly fifty per cent over what 

 they asked one year ago. Paper Whites 

 at 30 francs against 20 francs at this 

 time last year. 



Announcement hjus been made that 

 the partnership existing between Robert 

 H. Black and Clarence Wedge, who have 

 been conducting a business at Albert 

 Lea, Minn., under the title of "Black's 

 Seeds," has been dissolved. Mr. Wedge

 vouched for as Black 's will be sold under 

 the banner of ' ' Wedge Seeds. ' '

 N. D., show and pure seed contest of the

 H. L. Bolley, botanist of the agricultural 

 college at Devils Lake. Cash premiums 

 f*r field seeds etceed $4^: m4.11 con- 

 testants must have seeds for sale. 



Thokas Shelton, who was one of the 

 four original partners in the Southwest- 

 em Seed Co., which began business at 

 Fayetteville, Ark., January, 1903, took 

 over the entire business, having pur- 

 chased all the interests both in the seed 

 store and greenhouses, including the real 

 estate and the dwelling on greenhouse 

 property. The business will be continued 

 under the name of the Southwestern Seed 

 & Floral Co. The greenhouse part of the 

 bnsiness will be enlarged and developed 

 with the idea of producing sufficient cut
