Seed crops throughout the north cen- 

 tral states are generally qiiite backward 

 because of the excessive rains. 



On account of anomalous weather con- 

 ditions, it is impossible to make any 

 definite statements as to seed crop pros- 

 pects. 



Under the influence of the high prices 

 paid for farm produce, nowhere in the 

 worhl excef)t in America does the acre- 

 age under seed crops equal that of pre- 

 vious years. 



The T. J. Grey Co., Boston, has re- 

 moved to much better quarters at 29 

 South Market street, with a warehouse 

 nearby, at 82 South Market, for heavy 

 seeds, fertilizers, garden tools, etc. 



The British casualty lists record the 

 death in the Mediterranean of Lieut. H. 

 G. Simpson, of the First Inniskilling 

 Fusiliers. He was the onJy son r.f II. 

 Simpson, secretary of Coopcj', Taber & 

 Co., London. 



The radish seed crop in Michigan is 

 practically a failure. At least fifty per 

 cent of it will be plowed up, and as the 

 French seed Avill, in all probability, be 

 short, the trade faces a general scarcity 

 of radish seed. 



Articles of incorporation for the 

 Arthur T. Boddington Co., Xew York, 

 were filed July 9. Capitalized at $100,- 

 000, the incorporators named are A. T. 

 Boddington, of Yonkers; C. W. Scott, of 

 Whitestone, and Eemsen S. Mills, of 

 Brooklyn. 



J. M. Clark, of the Leonard Seed Co., 

 Chicago, has returned from a trip 

 through the seed districts of Michigan 

 and Wisconsin. The company, so far 

 from crying hard times, has enough faith 

 in the future to put six additional sales- 

 men on the road. 



Reports from Holland indicate con- 

 tinued uncertainty with regard to the fall 

 business. It is stated that conditions 

 have prevented the usual auction sales 

 of growing crops and that prices are un- 

 steady as well as low, in spite of growth 

 conditions that indicate an indifferent 

 yield of tulips and hyacinths, but a good 

 crop of narcissi. Lifting the crops began 

 earlier this year than usual, in spite of 

 the wet spring. 



Thirty travelers for Northrup, King 

 & Co., Minneapolis, started out July 6 

 to cover that part of the United States 

 from the Great Lakes to the coast and 

 from Canada to the gulf. There is 

 scarcely a hamlet in all that section 

 that is not visited. As an experiment, 

 six of the young men were equipped 

 with roadsters of the Little Henry 

 coinage, with a view to testing their 

 adaptability to the work. 



While some operators seem to be 

 expecting a bumper crop of onion sets, 

 others take the opposite view and look 

 for an unusually short crop, but of 

 choice quality. If there should be a 

 large crop, the indications are that the 

 sets will be quite inferior in both shape 

 and size. Nothing definite, though, can 

 be known as yet, as the crops at Chi- 

 cago are still making rapid top growth 

 as a result of the heavy rains and it is
