rush of delayed work after the trouble is 

 settled, and probably much higher prices. 

 Paper, too, is sky rocketing again. 



Comparative notes by the British 

 Board of Agriculture state that while 

 British onion seed shows a higher average 

 weight per kcie, American seed has a 

 higher germination. 



RAIN DELAYS TOMATO CEOP. 



Records for September show that 

 more rain fell at Santa Ana, Cal., during 

 the month than in any previous Septem- 

 ber recorded. This rain fell during the 

 latter part of the month and held up 

 tomato harvest for about one week. Al- 

 though it did not result in an appreci- 

 able loss of tomato seed, still it is caus- 

 ing some of the seed to be a little darker 

 in color than is liked. This, however, 

 will not injure the vitality of the seed. 



Good weather has prevailed since the 

 storm passed and the tomato vines have 

 not blighted, as is usual following a 

 rain. If there is a continuance of good 

 weather from this time on, there seems 

 to be no reason why final results will 

 not be fully as good as anticipated 

 earlier. Haven Seed Co. 



STRIKE DELAYS DUTCH BULBS. 



The strike of longshoremen in New 

 York harbor has held up the Holland 

 bulbs which have arrived there within 

 the last two weeks. The Rotterdam 

 steamer Glensanda was only half un- 

 loaded of its 15,972 cases when the men 

 quit work upon the refusal of their em- 

 ployers to grant an increase from 65 

 cents to $1 per hour and from $1 to 

 $1.50 for overtime. The sympathetic 

 strike of ferryboat men, called October 

 10, is likely to bring matters to a head 

 shortly and result in a settlement that 

 will allow the trade to liave its bulbs. 



On the steamer Glensanda, from Rot- 

 terdam, which arrived at New York Oc- 

 tober 4, were 15,972 cases of Holland 

 bulbs, according to the published mani- 

 fest, but no names of consignees were 

 given. Two days later the Vcendyk 

 brought 179 cases more from Rotterdam, 

 consigned as follows:

On the steamer Noordam, which ar-

 Dutch bulbs, one for the Equitable 

 Trust Co., of forty-five cases, and one 

 for R. F. Lang & Co., fifty cases, bring-

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



The death of Mark W. Johnson, of 

 Atlanta, Ga., removed possibly the old- 

 est and one of the most remarkable 

 seedsmen in the south. A steadfast be- 

 liever in the quality of the firm's seeds 

 which he carried exclusively, he had the 

 faculty of inspiring his patrons with 

 the same faith, so that, should such a 

 thing as seeds failing to germinate hap- 

 pen, the sower invariably blamed othei 

 conditions for the failure. 



The Goodale Seed Co., of Lexington, 

 Ky., has taken a larger store to accom- 

 modate increasing business.
