It is said one of the Dutch houses even 

 has been figuring on buying a gladiolus 

 farm in the middle west. 



E. W. Parmelee, W. B. Lucas and A. 

 L. Sommcr have incorporated the J. H. 

 Allan Seed Co., of Sheboygan, Wis., the 

 authorized capital being $110,000. 



The high prices of beans and other 

 food crops on the coast made it impossible 

 for the seed growers there to increase 

 their acreage to the desired extent this 

 year, but in a general way they are hav- 

 ing as few troubles as any class of seeds- 

 men. 



Heavy acreage of beans and potatoes 

 is now being planted, seed houses all re- 

 porting heavy sales. Prospects are that 

 there will be large plantings all over the 

 country, so that with good crops there 

 should be cheaper beans and potatoes in 

 the fall. 



Dutch bulb prices, Avhich started high 

 and then advanced, are retrograding. It 

 is assured tliat most of the exporting 

 houses have booked considerably less than 

 the usual number of orders up to this 

 date and a general weakening of prices is 

 only the natural result. 



The state lioard of pharmacy of Utah 

 has warned the state's seedsmen against 

 the sale of bichloride of mercury and its 

 poisonous derivatives to customers for 

 the purpose of spraying plants and 

 treating seeds. A state law prohibits 

 the sale of these poisons by anyone but 

 registered plianiiacists. 



It is reported that the differences be- 

 tween tlie governments of Great Britain 

 and Holland, wliieh have been the real 

 reason why Dutcli sliips remained in port, 

 liave been adjusted and that the Dutch 

 ships will resume their sailings. This 

 probiibly will insure the arrival of the 

 fall bulb shipments. 



We hear assertions tliat certain seed 

 liouses have incioasos of seventy -five or 

 even 100 per cent tliis season and there 

 are no doultts it li;is been a wonderful 

 business. The marvel is, wliere did all 

 tiu^ seeds come from.' As a matter of 

 fact, tlie increase in value of sales has 

 been mucli greater tliaii the increase in 

 (|uantity of seeds sold. 



Genuine dUl seed, suitable for pickling 

 houses, is ])racti('ally out of the market 

 and is in demand at $2 ]pcr jiound. Tlierc 

 is being sold as genuine dill a variety of 

 wild dill, winch, liowev(>r, is not the right 

 vaiiety for pickles and wliich does not 

 give the genuine dill llavor. As the seeds 

 are quite similar in a]»i>earance, nome do 

 not seem to know the difference, althougli 

 rcadilv recognizable to those familiar
