Wholesale seedsmen complain that, 

 although the season has been large, col- 

 lections still are slow. 



W. Atlee Burpee and son, David, 

 spent Memorial day in Naples. They 

 will be in Paris the latter part of this 

 month and in London in mid-July, for 

 the sweet pea show. 



The warm weather has brought the 

 peas along at a rate that has done much 

 toward making up for the backwardness 

 of the start. The critical blooming sea- 

 son will come at about the usual date. 



In the trial of a suit for damages on 

 account of crop failure, brought by 

 George Demit against the Janssen Seed 

 & Floral Co., of Springfield, 111., the jury 

 awarded a verdict* for the defendant 

 May 20. 



The seed business of Borders, Chaffin 

 & Co., at Flora, 111., has been sold to the 

 Louisville Seed Co., of Louisville, Ky. 

 The members of the firm will devote 

 their efforts to other lines in which they 

 are interested. 



Good rains at Chicago last week did 

 much for the onion set crop, which had 

 begun to suffer for want of moisture. 

 May having been unusually dry. Since 

 Louisville and Chillicothe dropped back 

 as onion set centers the crop at Chicago 

 has become of paramount importance in 

 the trade. 



To promote the back-to-the-farm move- 

 ment, J. Bolgiano & Son, of Baltimore, 

 Md., established this year a free employ- 

 ment department in connection with their 

 seed business. Under the management of 

 Claude B. Ramsay, this department has 

 furnished employers with reliable help 

 and helped to lessen the urban army of 

 the unemployed. 



A severe hail storm swept over Rocky 

 Ford, Colo., on the evening of May 28. 

 It is reported that two-thirds of the cu- 

 cumber seed crop and one-half of the 

 muskmelon crop was completely ruined. 

 It is too late to replant muskmelons, but 

 some of the earlier varieties of cucumber 

 might be replanted. J. C. Robinson, of 

 Waterloo, Neb., whose company has a 

 large acreage at Rocky Ford, said May 

 29: "Details are yet lacking as to the 

 extent of this storm, but it evidently is 

 one of the worst hail storms that have 

 ever visited this district in cropping 

 season. ' ' 



STBAIN TE^TS OF TOMATOES. 



A difference in yield of more than 

 thirteen tons per acre is shown by tests 

 of tomato seed conducted by the Agri- 

 cultural Experiment Station at State 

 College, Pa. "These differences must
