The fiist shipment of French bulbs 

 is on the water, havinj* left Marseilles 

 in the Sant Anna July H. 



The (Jeath of Robert J. Trumbull, one 

 of the oldest seedsmen on the Pacific 

 coast, is reported in this week's obituary 

 column. 



Otto A. Knapp, Lodi, O., reports that 

 July J 3 "hundreds of acres of onions 

 were destroyed by hail in the famous 

 Lodi garden, the largest onion farm in 

 the world. ' ' 



Headquarteus of the Harper Seed Co., 

 Goshen, Ind., are to be changed from the 

 Mummert building to a one-story building, 

 22x66 feet which is to be erected on West 

 Lincoln street. 



For several years the acreage of radish 

 in Michigan increased steadily, and rapid- 

 ly, but lor the last three year's the acre- 

 age has been stationary ; even a slight re- 

 duction this year. 



The onion acreage for seed, both the 

 globe and the flat varieties, in the 

 vicinity of Chillicothe, O., according to 

 Schilder Bros., still are in excellent 

 shape, with every prospect of a fine 

 crop. 



The taritf bill was reported to the 

 Senate July 11 in the exact form in 

 which the trade paragraphs were printed 

 in The Review of June 26. It is thought 

 there will be no further changes before 

 the bill becomes law. 



There have been two good showers in 

 the Chicago onion set district in the last 

 week, but they were rather late to lielp 

 the crop. After the sets have passed a 

 certain stage rain results in a growth 

 that makes thick necks. 



Fire destroyed the bluegrajs seed 

 cleaning plant of E. F. Spears & Sons, 

 Paris, Ky., July 3. A great quantity of 

 bluegrass seed, most of it already 

 cleaned, was stored in the place. The 

 loss is about $60,000, partly covered by 

 insurance. 



Burnett Bros., seedsmen, now at 72 

 Cortlandt street. New York, have leased 

 the property at 98 Chambers street, be- 

 tween Church street and Broadway. The 

 lease is for a term of years, and provides 

 for a long term extension, based on an 

 appraisal to be made for Grace church, 

 owner of the fee. • 



W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, 

 have mailed vthe European trade an ad- 

 vance announcement of four new sweet 

 peas for 1914, King White, Illuminator, 

 Wedgewood and Enij)ress Eugenie, stat- 

 ing that "King White is easily the most 

 important new Spencer that has been in- 

 troduced." Copies of the circular Jiave 

 gone to American catalogue houses. 



FIELD'S YEAR. 



The annual stockholders' meetingof 

 th^«ffeliPPIieId See* Co., ShenarilflSh, 

 la., was held a few days ago, all the 

 directors being reelected. The directors 

 reelected officers and declared a divi- 

 dend of six per cent. It was- stated 

 that the number of orders filled this 

 season was 60,805, against 53,000 last 

 season. Exclusively a catalogue busi- 

 ness is done and work has been begun

 pects are very favorable. Can quote attractive prices'
