Onion sets continue in good demand 

 at firm prices. Yellow sets are choice, 

 but white sets show some smut. 



The declared exports of grass seeds 

 from Buenos Aires, Argentina, increased 

 from $83,193 in 1914 to $193,411 in 

 1915. 



The obituary notice of M. P. Hargrave, 

 of Hargraves' Seed Store, Galveston, 

 Tex., will be found in the obituary col- 

 umn' of this issue of The Eeview. 



If the war lasts another year or two 

 America will be independent of Europe 

 in such matters as cyclamen and pansy 

 seeds, once largely matters of German 

 origin. 



A BRANCH office has been opened at 

 Ames, la., by the Blair-Harper Seed Co., 

 of Aurora, 111. T. D. Mcaennahan, 

 graduate of the Iowa State College, is in 

 charge. 



L. L. May & Co., St. Paul, speak of 

 good business. Mr. May is convalescent 

 and is expected back at his post in a 

 few days. L. L. May, Jr., has charge 

 of the store. 



The death of George H. Cummings, 

 secretary of the Sioux City Seed & 

 Nursery Co., is reported in this week's 

 obituary column. He was killed in an 

 automobile accident. 



Reports are that the advance guard of 

 California seed growers shortly will pass 

 through Chicago on their way east. Most 

 reports show onion seed to be exceedingly 

 scarce this year, Globe varieties in par- 

 ticular being short. 



Employees of seed houses throughout 

 the country have for the greater part 

 now returned from their vacations. Ee- 

 ports of good business with rapidly ac- 

 celerating activity are unanimous and 

 seedsmen in general are looking for an 

 exceptionally good season. 



It is not a question of the value of 

 seeds, but of holding prices down. The 

 tentative prices as established by the di- 

 rectors of the Wholesale Seedsmen's 

 League at its recent meeting in New 

 York, look low when considered either 

 with the prices of most other commodi- 

 ties or with the available supply. 



H. A. Johns, president of the Sioux 

 City Seed & Nursery Co., Sioux City, la., 

 was a Chicago visitor October 5, on his 

 way to Michigan. Mr. Johns reports that 

 about two weeks more are needed on seed 

 corn in Iowa to make it safe and in good 

 shape. He also stated that there was 

 considerable early damage to seed com. 



GROWTH OF NORTHEUP-KING. 



Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis, 

 Minn., will take full possession of their 

 new building about October 15, retain- 

 ing the present building for retail pur- 

 poses. George C. Thomson escorted me 

 through this latest monument to seeds, 

 the consummation of the thought of sev- 

 eral master minds. The immensity of 

 the undertaking dawns gradually on one 

 while going through the group of build- 

 ings noting the various appliances for 

 handling the large business established
