There was frost in Montana last week, 

 but it is not thought to have hurt the 

 peas. 



It is reported that hail ruined quite a 

 few acres of onions for seed in north- 

 eastern Ohio July 9. 



A. L. George, of the Portland Seed 

 Co., Portland, Ore., has been making a 

 trip through Montana. 



S. F. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed 

 Co., Chicago, is planning a trip to Mon- 

 tana and Idaho for a look at the peas. 



The death of J. M. Gleason, of the 

 T. J. Grey Co., Boston, one of the vet- 

 erans of the trade, is recorded in the 

 obituary columns this week. 



According to an English advice of 

 July 9, dry weather has affected the 

 podding of peas, such varieties as Gra- 

 dus, that should contain five to seven 

 peas to the pod, being generally two 

 short. 



E. M. Greig, Anaconda, Mont., reports 

 /^ killing frost July 14 and wants to know 



if it was the last or the first frost of 

 which season. It is the first time that 

 nasturtiums have been nipped there in 

 July. 



An item in this column last week in- 

 dicates that a mail-order seed house in the 

 middle west last season received approxi- 

 mately 60,000 orders from the distribu- 

 tion of not far from 200,000 catalogues. 

 Was it enough? , 



High heat has held hold on the seed 

 section surrounding Sacramento. July 17 

 the temperature rose to 96 degrees and 

 stood there at 8 p. m., while July 18 it 

 reached 98 degrees and had fallen only to 

 92 degrees at 8 p. m. The three follow- 

 ing days the maximum was 86 degrees. 



"In regard to conditions in this part 

 of the country," said E. O. Gardner, 

 manager of the seed department of Joseph 

 Breck & Sons, Boston, July 14, "we are 

 pleased to say that they are most favor- 

 able, especially so in regard to our retail 

 counter trade, which is holding out re- 

 markably well." 



The peas in Wisconsin and Michigan 

 are spotty. Some sections are much better 

 than others, but even in the best sections 

 some fields are poor. Apparently the dif- 

 ference is the result of the different stages 

 of growth at the time of the heat wave of 

 late June. The earlier the field the better 

 it came through, as a rule. 



Three weeks ago the general view was 

 that this would be a dealers' year on 

 onion sets in the Chicago district; now 

 the growers begin to feel that perhaps it 

 will turn out to be a growers ' year, al- 

 though it is impossible to tell how much 

 of the stock will make thick necks as a 

 result of the growth following the recent 

 rains. 



The plans of the Lake Shore Seed Co., 

 Dunkirk, N. Y., for rebuilding on tke site 

 of the plant which was recently burned, 

 have been abandoned > and only that part 

 of the building which was least damaged 

 will be repaired and used as a store- 

 house. The company has purchased the 

 building formerly occupied by the Lux 

 light plant, which ij; will use for the 

 handling of its business. 



ONION SEED 



We have a very fine acreage of the best varieties of both 

 Globe and Flat. Shall have a fine lot of seed; pros- 

 pects are very favorable. Can quote attractive prices 

 on high-grade stock.
