CALIFORNIA PLUMOSUS SEED. 



Keports from growers in the vicinity 

 of Los Angeles seem to indicate that 

 the new crop of Asparagus plumosua 

 seed will be a remarkably good one, 

 always supposing there is no setback in 

 the way of frost. C. Morton, of the 

 Los Angeles Flower Market, who han- 

 dles the entire crop from the famous 

 Meserve ranch at Long Beach, exam- 

 ined the crops recently and eays the 

 amount of flower is remarkable and it 

 is especially forward for this time of 

 year. There is every prospect of a 

 bumper crop, of higher germinating 

 power than ever. H. R. R. 



DUTCH BULB ARRIVALS. 



The shipments of Dutch bulbs are 

 dwindling fast as the season now rap- 

 idly nears its end. A few consign- 

 ments arrived on the Rotterdam steam- 

 er that reached New York October 27. 

 The consignments were as follows: 



Conslffnee. Cases. 



King, E. J 50 



OoUlns, W. F „1 



Elliott Auction Co 24 



MaltuB &. Ware 26 



Total 101 



Prevloualy reported 21,248 



Total to date 21,349 



The Rotterdam boat that reached 

 New York October 30 brought a con- 

 signment of eleven cases for R. F. 

 Laqg & Co., raising the total receipts to 

 date to 21,360. 



WORLD'S RECORD SPINACH FARM. 



It is reported from Austin, Tex., that 

 last winter Del Walker raised 500 acres 

 of spinach, and that he recently has 

 finished planting the new crop, trebling 

 the acreage of last year. It is the 

 largest spinach farm in the world. 

 Shipping the product to market will be 

 started the middle of November, and 

 from that time until late in the spring 

 several carloads will be gathered and 

 shipped each day. The net returns last 

 year averaged about $150 per acre. 



SEED BUYERS NOT PROSPEROUS. 



At a meeting of the stockholders of 

 the Southern Texas Truck Growers' As- 

 sociation held a few days ago in San 

 Antonio, the proposition to dissolve the 

 organization was voted down, but such 

 strong opposition to its continuation 

 was manifested that the withdrawal 

 of many of the members is practically 

 certain. The chief reason for dissatis- 

 faction on the part of the stockholder^ 

 mho comprise the principal vegetable 

 growers of the sjt/ite,- was that ruin- 

 ously lt>w prices were obtained for 



Gt. van Waveren & Kruijf f 



Wish to call the attention of the trade to the fact that Mr. John van Aalst is now 

 Manager of the Philadelphia Branch House. Mr. Louis Berger has no further connection 

 with the firm. CThe offices have been removed to 200 Walnut Place. CYour inauiries 

 for Dutch Bulbs are earnestly reauested.
