W. Atlee Burpee returned to his office 

 this week after his European trip. 



The western sweet corn for seed has 

 suffered serious -loss of ^nditioa in the 

 last fortnight. 



It is said that lily of the valley pips 

 from cold storage will be a scarce com- 

 modity before the new crop arrives. 



L. C. Bakrett, of the Spokane Seed 

 Co., at Spokane, Wash,, is superintendent 

 of the apiary department at the inter- 

 state fair. 



Charles H. Vick, of James Vick's 

 Sons, Rochester, is in charge of the floral 

 department of the state fair, to be held 

 at Syracuse September 8 to 13. 



The Laughlin Seed Co., San Jose, Cal., 

 has bought out the seed interests of 

 Laughlin Bros. Co., Nappanee, Ind., and 

 has established a branch office at that 

 place. 



The vine seed growers in the middle 

 west have been on the anxious seat for 

 some days. There has been rapid deteri- 

 oration in their crops in the fortnight of 

 extreme heat and drought. 



Information in insurance sources is 

 to the effect that the losses on the stock 

 and building of the Lake Shore Seed 

 Co., Dunkirk, N. Y., which burned June 

 18, aggregated $100,000. 



Nothing new is coming from Cali- 

 fornia. The growers have painted things 

 so black that there is nothing further 

 to say and they are not yet ready to ad- 

 mit that prospects are not quite so bad 

 as they have seemed. 



It appears that.the 1913 crop of hya- 

 cinth bulbs will be likely to get through 

 the custom houses before the duty is 

 raised 500 per cent by the new tariff 

 law. The Senate will not, apparently, 

 get to a vote for some weeks yet. ^ 



The seed growers are having a bad 

 season. Wether conditions have been 

 unfavorable almost everywhere: too lit- 

 tle rain; too much heat. And still there 

 will be seeds enough so that everybody 

 will have some to sell. 



It was F, W. Bruggerhof, dean of' the 

 craft, who remarked in a crop scare some 

 years ago: "Seed growing has become 

 so big a business, and so widely distrib- 

 uted over the world, that there never 

 again will come a time when there will 

 be no seed for sale; p^Bs always can 

 be had, somewhere. ' ' 



Joseph J. .Bbdlong, head of the big 

 onion set growing concern, the L. A. 

 Budlong Co., has been elected president 

 of the Lake View Trust and Savings 

 bank, one of the most successful of the 

 banks outside the business center in Chi- 

 cago. Mr. Budlong is said to be the 

 largest stockholder. < >

Word conies from Washington that con-

 the parcel post law was passed the seed 

 trade was strongly opposed to imposing 

 the zone rates on -catalogxwa and those, 

 still of the same mind had better get 

 busy again. The present zone rates would
