 Ana, Cal., appears in the obituary column 

 of this issue. 



A GOOD crop of comnuTcial Lima beans 

 is expected from southern California, 

 where the acreage was exceptionally 

 heavy this year. 



The government seems to fear a short- 

 age of farm crop seeds next spring and 

 is urging farmers to select and save their 

 own seed from this season's crops. 



A. H. Smith, of the Leonard Seed Co., 

 has returned to Chicago after his trip to 

 the west, where he visited several coast 

 points and took some extended automo- 

 bile trips. 



The onion sets in the Chicago district 

 are being warehoused in excellent condi- 

 tion. There are not nearly so many 

 empty trays in the fields as was the case 

 a year ago. 



Charles Johnson, American agent for 

 DenaifFe & Son, Carignan, France, tem- 

 porarily during the war doing business 

 at La Menitre, has removed from Mari- 

 etta, Pa., to Cynwyd, Pa.

The Harvey Seed Co., Buffalo, reported 

 in last week 's Gleanings to have ' ' re- 

 leased a few bushels of wax beans at $1 

 per bushel," has had many requests to 

 "release" a few more; but of course the 

 price was a typographical error, $12 

 having been the real figure. 



A Chicago jobber in bulbs reports that 

 the freight from Yokohama now is $50 

 per ton. He figures this to be equivalent 

 to a little more than $3 per case on 

 giganteums and believes the end is not

 cost nearly if not quite $4 per case for 

 transportation.
