R. B. Howe is planning: to attend the 

 Washington convention of the S. A. F., 

 in Augustj with Mrs. Howe. 



Settlement of the affairs of the J. K. 

 Rugowski Seed Co., Manitowoc, Wis., is 

 reported this week under the head, ' ' Busi- 

 ness Embarrassments. ' ' 



A. B. Haven, of the Haven Seed Co., 

 Santa Ana, Cal., says that his tomatoes 

 will be late this year. On account of the 

 heavy rains, he has only recently been 

 able to transplant them to the field. 



Seeds have been removed from the 

 free list in the tariff bill now before 

 Congress. Rates on those subject to duty 

 before have been raised. Details con- 

 cerning the tariff bill's horticultural pro- 

 visions are given in the leading article 

 in this issue. 



Dick O'Bannon, Sherman, Tex., says 

 they are having a bad time down his 

 way. There has been too long a dry 

 spell, too heavy rains, and the aphis. 

 Then the failure of the cotton crop did 

 its work in spoiling the buying morale 

 of the section. 



At the Southern Seedsmen's Associa- 

 tion's convention there was a competi- 

 tive judging of catalogues. Kirby B. 

 White, of D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, 

 said that he didn't know what was the 

 prime feature of a catalogue, but if it 

 was selling the goods, the Ferry cata- 

 logue came in among the first. 



M. T. Riley, the secretary and treas- 

 urer of the Yopp Seed Co., Paducah, 

 Ky., says that flower and vegetable seeds 

 are going well. The sale of flower seeds 

 has been greatly increased since tlio small 

 packets havo been put on a revolving 

 rack in the front of the store. The only 

 work that is required to sell them is 

 someone to take the money. 



The arrivals of imjiortcd seed during 

 tbe week oiulin^ .Tune 2.^ wore as follows: 

 At New York, 2,200 pomids of red cIovcm- 

 and 170, .TOO ])0unds of erinisDii plover

Wat.son S. Woodruff, of S. T>. Wood- 

 ruff &■ Sons, New York, N. Y., and 

 Orange, Conn., says that he never in his 

 life saw any i>iece of legislative material 

 snowed under so deep as was the recent 

 attempt to pass a state seed law in Con- 

 neeticut. He and several other seeds- 

 men went to the state eapitol to oppose 

 the passing of the law as propo.sed, and 

 tliey made such a sjood job of it th:it they 

 have ne\cr heard of it again. 



C. KooYMAN Co., of San Francisco. 

 Cal., purchased five acres of bulbs in the 

 vicinity of San Leandro, late in .Tune. 

 F. W. Davis, of this firm, stated lliat this 

 gives them nine acres in all. The latest 

 purchase consists of land planted to 

 Paper White narcissi, daffodils and 

 tulips. They began digging their bulbs 

 June 20, and thev will begin cutting their 

 rubrum lilies about July 9. Speaking 

 of the bulb situation, Mr. Davis said : 

 "Judging from the orders coming to 

 us, the trade must be turning to Cali- 

 fornia for bulbs for early Christmas
