Orders for peas have fallejL pretty 

 flat with the wholesale seedsmen, but 

 stockaf have cleaned up better than was 

 thought possible. 



The California growers are not bspe- 

 cially enthusiastic over the prospect for 

 the sweet pea crop, although nothing 

 like last year's disaster is in prospect. 



After a tour of the principal cities 

 of the United States, calling on the seed 

 trade, Henri L. Vilmorin, of Vilmorin- 

 Andrieux & Cie, Paris, France, sailed for 

 home May 20, from New York, on La 

 Provence. 



Nitroglycerin was used by burglars 

 to blow open the safe of the E. F. 

 Spears Seed Co., at Paris, Ky., early on 

 the morning of May 6. They escaped 

 with $600 in money and left no clue to 

 their identity. 



The seed trade's annual convention is 

 only a month away. At the rate business 

 is holding up this year it looks as though 

 some people might have to knock off fill- 

 ing orders to attend. "Washington is a 

 popular meeting place and a record 

 gathering is expected. ^ 



The seed trade is rounding up a rec- 

 ord business as the result of the inter- 

 mittent spring. A long season makes 

 for a big total of sales, while a short 

 season cuts down the total. The 1914 

 season was late in opening, but it has 

 continued later than usual. 



Reports to the Holland bulb sales- 

 men on tour are to the effect that the 

 blooming season was unusually favorable 

 and that the fields are in far better shape 

 than a year ago, there being only a little 

 of the much dreaded "fire" in the foli- 

 age of tulips and hyacinths. 



Conditions of the 1914 crop o^Lima 

 beans, according to latest advices from 

 California, are favorable for an output 

 of fair size, but in order to insure these 

 conditions, favorable weather during the 

 growing period must prevail. A slightly 

 larger acreage than last year has been 

 planted this season in some sections. 



The Holland growers, who went in 

 so strongly for gladioli that it was feared 

 the business had been overdone, are feel- 

 ing better at the close of the season 

 than they did at its opening. The brisk 

 business in March enabled th«n to clean 

 up most of the larger sizes and practi- 

 cally all of the better sorts, so that th/ 

 stock left unsold was nearly all of plant- 

 ing size. 



THE ROLL OF HONOR. 



It will interest the trade to note how 

 the senators lined up on the proposi- 

 tion to strike out the appropriation for
