Curiously, perhaps, Belgium is re- 

 ported to have bought unusual quantities 

 at vegetable and field seeds in Holland 

 this season. 



In all Europe the acreage for seed 

 crops is reported to be much reduced this 

 season because of the promise of un- 

 usually high prices of farm and garden 

 crops. 



Midsummer weather over a large sec- 

 tion of the country in the last week has 

 brought a tremendous rush of counter 

 trade, but the condition has been unwel- 

 come. A short season seldom is a good 

 season. The trade makes the most out of 

 a. long period of steady demand. 



The freight on Chinese narcissus bulbs 

 this season, Hongkong to the United 

 States, will be 55 cents per hundred 

 pounds, as against 50 cents last season, 

 according to an announcement of an ad- 

 vance in transpacific freight rates issued 

 by the U. S. Department of Commerce. 



Onion sets are practically out of the 

 wholesale market. Of course, the com- 

 mission merchants have quantities of 

 them to sell, but they are of an inferior 

 grade and bring little better than half 

 the usual price. Most of the large seed 

 houses cleared well before the break in 

 the quotations; 



The situation in the seed trade is 

 normal in all departments except that 

 of supply. There is a good call from the 

 pickle growers for onion seed, cabbage 

 for sauerkraut, and for cucumber. All 

 seem to be impressed with the fact that 

 there will be a large demand for this 

 class of goods. Their calculations are 

 cased on the war conditions. 



With the mail-order seed season draw- 

 ing rapidly to a close, it appears that 

 tne volume of business on the whole 

 jiardly has come up to expectations. It 

 has been a not bad season, but scarcely a 

 record-breaker for the older houses. It 

 appears that the natural increase in seed 

 requirements that comes with increasing 

 population IS about all swallowed up by 

 the new concerns coming into the busi- 

 ness. 



The problem of having a trained sales 

 torce that can be expanded to cope with 

 a rush or contracted to fit normal condi- 

 tions has been solved by Arnold Ringier, 

 of the W. W. Barnard Co.. Chicago. He 

 has taken the trouble to train all of the 

 young ladies in the oflBce force in the 

 essentials of salesmanship and educate 

 them in the stock they are handling. Mr 

 Kingier says it is much easier to break
