The longiflorum bulbs are in and out 

 again, most of them, except the stock 

 that is to go into cold storage. 



The meeting of the Western Canners' 

 Association will call a number of seeds- 

 men and seedsmen's representatives to 

 Chicago November 20. 



The J. Wilder Seed Co., of Cincinnati, 

 O., has been incorporated with a capital 

 of $10,000 by Walter C. Eenaker, Will- 

 iam J. Kahe and Walter Schmitt. The 

 corporation is a successor to J. Wilder 

 & Co. 



A COLORED plate sent by F. C. Heine- 

 mann, Erfurt, Germany, shows his new 

 begonias in striking hues; also the varie- 

 gated Asparagus Sprengeri, which seems 

 sure to attract much attention from the 

 trade in this country. 



The Treasury Department has given 

 out a list of the merchandise in bonded 

 warehouses at New York at the close of 

 business the night before the new tariff 

 law went into effect. The garden seeds 

 were valued at $24,922. There were 31,- 

 785 bushels of peas valued at $55,205. 



Social circles at Shenandoah, la., are 

 all stirred up over the suit for divorce 

 instituted by Mrs. Wilma Eatekin against 

 J. W. Batekin and the latter 's retaliatory 

 action against Levi Baker, Mrs. Bate- 

 kin's father, whom he purposes to sue 

 for $35,000 damages for alienating the 

 affection of the plaintiff's wife. 



ACCOEDINO to reports received at Mon- 

 treal, approximately 5,000,000 bulbs have 

 been imported into British Columbia in 

 the last few weeks. Bulb culture is mak- 

 ing rapid strides in the Pacific province, 

 particularly on Vancouver Island. Tu- 

 lip, daffodil, narcissus and other bulbs 

 are imported from Holland, Belgium and 

 Japan. 



This week's reports from the Wiscon- 

 sin bouquet green districts are confusing. 

 The weather is open and should encour- 

 age picking and wea,ken prices, but it is 

 said the pickers no longer are willing to 

 go out for the payment they once would 

 accept and insist on prices that mean 

 an 8-cent to 9-cent jobbing price at Chi- 

 cago. Those in touch say they look for 

 all the green needed to meet the demand 

 at these figures. 



A. CuRRiE & Co., of Milwaukee, de- 

 posited several hundred dollars with a 

 civil court there when they made a claim 

 that they had been overcharged on :i 

 shipment from a Holland firm. When in 

 Holland Mr. Currie made a settlement 

 with the firm, and returning home, tried 

 to secure the deposit, but found the at- 

 torneys for the foreign house held they 

 had received no fees and had, therefore, 

 a lien on the money. The judge now has 

 the matter under advisement. 



CALIFORNIA DROUGHT BROKEN. 



The drought in the California seed 

 growing section was broken November 

 1, when a light rain fell as far south 

 as San Luis Obispo. Again November 

 3 rain fell, continuing most of the fol- 

 lowing day, with weather conditions in- 

 dicating more to follow. The official 

 .weather report gays thq precipitation
