been lost; it ft at least as good and 

 probably better than any of the 113 pre- 

 vious editions distributed by the house. 



Habold F. Winter, of Sutton & Bona, 

 Beading, England, is calling on the trade 

 in the east. 



It is stated that the 1814 imports of 

 Japanese lily bulbs by Balph M, Ward 

 & Ck)., New York, total 15,238 cases. 



In September it was possible to sell 

 at a good price any cold storage valley 

 pips one cared to release — ^but everybody 

 was holding on. Now, with the year's 

 supply assured, cold storage stock of the 

 1913 crop is not in active request. 



THB'Itt^ 8. Department of Agripnlture 

 is trying to help the south diversify its 

 erops and has issued two special leaflets, 

 one on hairy vetch and one on rape as a 

 forage crop in the cotton belt, each of 

 which should increase the demai^d for 

 seeds. 



The gentlemen in charge of the gov- 

 ernment's seed distribution are no^ seek- 

 ing publicity in the matter of theii 

 efforts to purchase stock for 1916. With 

 your Uncle Samuel beet eeed is beet seed, 

 provided it germinates, but there 19 more 

 than the usual reticence this year in the 

 avuncular seed shop in Washington. 



NOBTH DAKOTA SEED LIEN IJIW. 



In a suit brought to enforce a lien 

 against crops for the price of seed 

 wheat furnished to grot^ them, the 

 North Dakota Supreme court lately de- 

 cided that the last bona fide delivery 

 of a part of a single purchase of dif- 

 ferent kinds of seeds constitutes the 

 date from which the 30-day limitation 

 for filing a lien begins to run; that a 

 lien is not vitiated by an innocent mis- 

 statement in the lien claim of thb num- 

 ber of bushels of seed furnished, nor 

 by filing it against both the tenant, 

 who bought the seed, and his landlord.

PEA PACEEBS' PLANS. 



Pea packers as a body are not able 

 to look so far ahead as 1916; the best 

 they can do at the moment is to figure 

 on 1915 — and the prospect seems none 

 too rosy. The journals that are cred- 

 ited with representing the canning in- 

 dustry contradict themselves. In one 

 sentence they say the supply of first 

 quality peas of the 1914 pack is well 

 cleaned up, while in the next they in- 

 dicate the acreage for 1915 will be 

 materially reduced, especially in Wis- 

 consin, the big pea packing state. It 

 would not call for a sharp reduction 

 in the acreage if the 1914 pack really 

 has been cleaned up the way the mar- 

 ket reports say. Packers as a class 

 are not proving specially good sports. 

 They could buy spot seed at a lower 

 price than mcst of them paid on con- 

 tract and they are accepting delivery 

 on the contracts with rather poor grace. 

 Not many canners contract for their 

 full requirements, however, and few of
