Advices from Michigan say that the un- 

 u^al heat wave has had its bad effects 

 there. Radishes are so burned that only 

 about half a crop is looked for. 



Owing to the death of Walter R. 

 Paxson, of Crawfordsville, Ind., the seed 

 business that was conducted by him will 

 be discontinued. Mr. Paxson died July 7. 



Walter Gill, of the Roswell Seed Co., 

 Roswell, N. M., was in Chicago last week. 

 Carl Chesmore, of the Chesmore Seed Co., 

 St. Joseph, Mo., was also a visitor last 

 week. 



News of the death of Hiram Wheeler 

 Buckbee, of Rockford, 111., which oc- 

 curred at 8:45 p. m., Saturdaj-, July 16, 

 will be found in this week's obituary 

 column. 



Reports on the Wisconsin pea crop 

 indicate only about one-third of the nor- 

 mal crop. A reduced acreage, coupled 

 with the prolonged hot, dry weather, has 

 caused this small crop. 



Description of some of the plantings 

 at the El Monte seed farms of John 

 Bodger & Sons Co., Los Angeles, Cal., 

 appears on another page of this issue, 

 headed "Seed Farms at El Monte." 



M. V. Carson, correspondent for James 

 Vick 's Sons, Rochester, N. Y., will spend 

 i]te first two weeks of August in Toronto 

 and expects to vi.sit the horticultural gar- 

 dens and Canada's grwit seed house, 

 Steele, Briggs Seed Co. 



Onion sets in the Chicago district will 

 be in unusually small supply this vear. 

 The extended spell of hot weatlier" and 

 the prolonged absence of rain has burned 

 the crop. Those sets coniiiig in arc of 

 excellent quality, small, hard and drv, 

 but there will not be enough of them. 



C. D. Coventry, of the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., Chicago, left for a two weeks' vaca- 

 tion Monday, July 18. He planned to 

 motor through a part of Michigan, visit- 

 ing several relatives and also looking 

 over the company's acreage in Michigan 

 to see how the crops are coming along. 



''Recent changes in the seed business 

 point toward the next season being an ex- 

 cellent one," said A. H. Smith, of the 

 Leonard Seed Co., Chicago. ' ' It looks like 

 a season of good prices and more orders 

 than can be filled. Buyers who want to 

 be sure of deliveries will probably have 

 to order early." 



C. H.JELMAR Setterberg, member of 

 the Swedish parliament, and Mrs. Setter- 

 berg were guests at a dinner and recep- 

 tion July 16 at Hotel La Salle, Chicago, 

 under the auspices of the Swedish con- 

 sulate and the Everette R. Peacock Co., 

 of which Axel Setterberg, son of the cou- 

 ple, is vice-president. Mr. and Mrs. Set- 

 terberg came from Stockholm, Sweden. 



From Manitowoc, Wis., from the M. 

 G. Madson Seed Co., comes a further re- 

 port of the damage wrought by the long- 

 continued heat wave. The pea crop in 

 the section around Manitowoc is the only 

 crop seriously damaged; it is unusually 

 poor. Beans seem to be in good condi- 

 tion. Gladiolus bulbs have been affected 

 somewhat by the lack of moisture, and
