L. L. May recently returned to St. 

 Paul after a look at the peas in Mon- 

 tana. 



It is said the United States imports 

 about 35,000 bags of canary seed each 

 year. 



The reckless booking of advance or- 

 ders eventually leads to a season result- 

 ing in serious consequences. 



The Francis Brill Co., Hempstead, N. 

 Y., says the Long Island seed crops are 

 turning out much shorter than expected. 



The Illinois Seed Co., Chicago, has 

 certified to the secretary of state an in- 

 crease in its capital from $25,000 to 

 $150,000. 



A BRICK, four-story addition, 30x60 

 feet, to its seed warehouse is being built 

 by the A. A. Berry Seed Co,, of Clarin- 

 da, la. 



Notice of the assignment of Wm. 

 Hagemann & Co., of New York, will 

 be found under the head of Business 

 Embarrassments, elsewhere in this issue. 



According to a Hamburg exporter, 

 the Turkish crop of canary seed this 

 year is about 35,000 bags, as against a 

 normal production of 120,000 to 150,000 

 bags. 



In spite of the short crop of Roman 

 hyacinths a good many of the large im- 

 porters find that their orders have been 

 filled in full, although the sizes are 

 slightly below those specified. 



The corn is decidedly poor in western 

 Nebraska, but toward the eastern end 

 of the state it is much better, accord- 

 ing to those who went through the re- 

 gion in the last week of August. 



The sweet pea crop is the shortest in 

 years, but deliveries indicate that every- 

 body will have enough to get along with 

 fairly well. Some unengaged stocks in 

 first hands even are being offered. 



Eefereinq to the government's pub- 

 lication of the results of the season's 

 tests of hairy vetch, recently reported 

 in The Review under the heading "Good 

 People Have Bad Vetch," Conrad Ap- 

 pel, of Darmstadt, writes: "I have 

 found that American dealers are buying 

 hairy vetch in the lowest market, and 

 do not care much for reliable quality." 



Romans are not in special demand at 

 current quotations, and still some of the 

 largest importers had advance orders 

 that took practically everything that has 

 arrived. When the bulbs cost 2% cents 

 to 3^/2 cents laid down in a greenhouse 

 not many will be forced for the cut 

 flower markets, though they still can be 

 used for pot stocks for retailing and re- 

 turn a good profit. 



It develops that a number of the 

 Dutch houses exporting bulbs have this 

 season sold considerable quantities they 

 did not grow, at prices that make it im- 

 possible for them to fill their orders at 

 a profit. There is no one less inclined 

 than the Hollander to work a year for 

 nothing, and as some of the losses, 

 either of customers or guilders, promise 

 to be large, there is deep, dark, dis- 

 mal discouragement akin to disaster re- 

 flected in recent correspondence. The 

 season is the poorest the Holland grow- 

 ers have seen in many years.
