The Temtex Seed & Floral Co. is a 

 new concern that will do business at 

 Temple, Tex. 



Fire destroyed an experimental seed 

 station of the state college of agricul- 

 ture at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., 

 with a loss that is estimated at $1,000. 

 It is believed that the fire was caused 

 by spontaneous combustion. 



Among the handsome fall catalogues, 

 that of Beckert's Seed Store, Pittsburgh, 

 is of particularly good appearance. In 

 addition to a colored cover of somewhat 

 more substantial stock than is customary, 

 two color plates are used in the body of 

 the catalogue. 



A QUITE striking and ap})roj)riate cover 

 design appears in colors upon the autumn 

 bulb catalogue of I'eter Henderson & Co., 

 New York. A blooming-faced Dutch 

 maiden liolding hyacinths and narcissi 

 is surmounted by two big tulip blooms, 

 all within a blue border of Dutch tile. 



It has been announced by agricultural 

 officials of British Columbia that there 

 will be a large acreage in certified seed 

 potato stock harvested in that province 

 this season. Some of the finest imported 

 stock was used as a foundation for this 

 crop. A list of growers is to be published 

 soon at Victoria, B. C. 



Last week W. J. Collins, of Boston, re- 

 turned to New York on the S. S. Cam- 

 eronia. He had been visiting seed grow- 

 ers abroad in the interest of Carters 

 Tested Seeds Co. He interviewed many 

 seed growers in Great Britain and France. 

 He was also in Belgium and covered the 

 whole war zone of northern France. lie 

 found that the drought had decreased 

 seed crops abroad tremendously. 



Reprints from the Monticello News, 

 distributed by the Evans Seed Co., Monti- 

 cello, Fla., state that Jefferson county, 

 of which Monticello is the county seat, 

 grows more watermelon seed than anj' 

 other in the United States. In a recent 

 year eighty per cent of the country's 

 acreage was in this county. Monticello 

 is stated to be the only place where one 

 can buy watermelon seed by the carload. 

 Thirty varieties are grown by the Evans 

 Seed Co. 



The production of vegetables for mar- 

 ket and for seed has developed rapidly 

 in Colorado during the last decade, until 

 the annual value of vegetables and vege- 

 table seed grown in the state is now 

 nearly as great as the annual value of 

 the silver output. The leading vege- 

 table crops are cantaloupes, cabbage, cu- 

 cumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, onions, 

 beans and sweet corn. In the production 

 of cantaloupes Colorado ranks second 

 among the states, being surpassed only 

 by California. 



Central Tennessee docs not cut so 

 large a figure in seed production as for- 

 merly and yet it produces a large propor- 

 tion of the Seven Top turnip seed of the 

 country. Last .^^jring the price of tur- 

 nip salad was so high that very little 

 seed was produced, most of the growers 

 preferring to sell the greens. The quality 

 of the seed ripened was not the best 

 either. Both cow peas and soy beans 

 are looking exceptionally well at present,
