Edwakd Moxkoe Halsted. for many 

 years connected with the Albert Dickinson 

 Co., Chicajjo, died in Los Angeles, Cal., 

 October 21. 



As showing how the war has drawn on 

 the forces of leading British seedsmen, it 

 may be noted that sixty-eight members of 

 the staff of Kelway & Son have joined 

 the colors. 



Many seedsmen will be interested in 

 Farmers' Bulletin No. 797, recently is- 

 sued bv the U. S. Dejtartment of Agri- 

 culturel It is entitled, "Sweet Clover: 

 Growing the Crop," by H. S. Coe. 



Theke are reports of large losses on 

 Dutch bulbs, due to the delay in delivery 

 of the cargo of the Waaldyk, Init the ex- 

 tent of the damage is not readily as- 

 certainal)le, as some lots show no damage 

 at all and other lots indicate considerable

The cauliflower crop on Long Island 

 is reported good. The plants have had 

 fine weather. The Indian summer and the

 what the seed grower is going up against 

 when he starts out to get 1918 acreage. 



Work on most of the 1918 catalogues is 

 nearing conqdetion. In a good many 

 cases the books have been cut down in 

 size and the number of copies printed also 

 will be reduced. What with the high cost 

 of paper and halftones and the short sup- 

 ply of nearly all kinds of seeds, there 

 seems no reason for sending an expensive 

 book to people who have not bought for 

 several years. Consequently, mailing lists 

 are being pruned more sharply than ever 

 before. 



The importers have awakened to the 

 fact that the Dutch bulbs are costing them 

 more than they figured. Not only have 

 the prices of bulbs risen sharply in Hol- 

 land, but the cost of getting them into the 

 American importer's store is almost
