A GOOD many seedsmen, while hoping 

 for the best, look for another hard winter 

 before conditions admit of easy breathing 

 and sleepful nights. 



Onion sets in the Chicago district have 

 been favored by the drought, and are 

 small and firm. There is an upward in- 

 clination to prices, as the crop is not 

 large. 



Visitors to Chicago last week included 

 Walter Hamilton, of the Madson Seed 

 Co., Manitowoc, Wis., and J. K. Rugowski, 

 of the J. K. Rugowski Seed Co., also at 

 Manitowoc. 



All Holland and French bulbs will get 

 into this country ere the new tariff goes 

 into effect. One seed house calculates 

 the saving this effects on its bulbs will 

 total about $6,000 this fall. 



Shipments of all its imported bulbs 

 have been received by the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., Chicago, so that all orders may be 

 filled completely as to varieties, a rare 

 occurrence, President R. B. Howe states. 



The first two autumn bulb catalogues 

 reached this ofBee on the same day last 

 week, one from Henry A. Dreer, Inc., 

 Philadelphia, and the other from the W. 

 W. Barnard Co., Chicago. That of the 

 Thomas J. Grey Co., Boston, followed a 

 day after. 



In the dahlia trials at Wisley Gardens, 

 England, held by the Royal Horticultural 

 Society this season, Jean Kerr, from W. 

 Atlee Burpee & Co., won an award of 

 highly commended. Toreador and La 

 Grosse Bete, from J. Scheepers, were com- 

 mended among the peony-flowered. 



Last week brought reports of receiver- 

 ships for Ross Bros. Seed Co., Wichita, 

 Kan., and the Randall-McLoughlin Co., 

 Seattle, Wash. S. A. Rogers & Co., New- 

 ark, N. J., were sold out last week under 

 the receiver's orders, as reported under 

 the head of "Business Embarrassments" 

 on a forward page of this issue. 



The third conference regarding French 

 bulb prices held by British members of 

 the trade in London resulted in the unan- 

 imous passage of a resolution "that 

 this meeting expresses satisfaction with 

 the past conferences on the French bulb 

 prices question and decides that individ- 

 ual firms desirous of purchasing should 

 do so at whatever prices they can now 

 obtain; but that as regards next season, 

 earlier action be taken to cooperate with 

 the American buyers, which this meeting 

 believes to be as much in their interests 

 as our own." 



Much more timotliy seed had left grow- 

 ers ' hands by August 29 than at a corre- 

 sponding date last year, according to re- 

 ports received by the bureau of markets 

 and crop estimates of the Department 

 of Agriculture. The movement, taken as 

 a whole, is nearly seventy-five per cent 

 greater than the belated movement that 

 took place last year and fifty per cent 

 greater than two years ago. In the most 

 important districts $3.60 to $3.85 per 

 hundred pounds was offered growers, com- 

 pared with $6.50 to $7 last year and $9.65 

 to $11.25 two years ago. The quality 

 of the 1921 crop in practically all sec-
