The supply of spinach from Holland 

 will not be so large as usual this season. 



There are lugubrious reports regard- 

 ing seed crops in Holland, following sev- 

 eral weeks of dry weather, 



Eeports from California tend to show 

 seeds of the flat varieties of onion used 

 for sets as more scarce than the globular. 



A BLUE list of seed firms from which 

 farmers may buy pure clover and alfalfa 

 seed has been prepared by the seed 

 laboratory at the Uriiversity Farm, St. 

 Paul, Minn. 



F. W. Bbuqqerhof, president of J. M. 

 Thorburn & Co., has returned to New 

 York after a two months' vacation in 

 New Hampshire. Mr. Bruggerhof, who 

 is 84 years of age, has been connected 

 with the concern since 1849. 



The Sant' Anna, on its last trip from 

 Marseilles, brought twenty cases of im- 

 mortelles, the first shipment of the sea- 

 son. This appears to be one of the items 

 the war will not cut off; America will 

 get the greater part of the year's supply. 



WiLLARD Zeller, who won the grand 

 champiioa sweepstakes prize for the best 

 bush^ of >eorn at the Panama-Pacific ex- 

 position and who furnished the corn which 

 is shown pouring out of Iowa's horn of 

 plenty, is bead of the new Zeller Seed 

 Co., wlfleh is building at Jefferson, la. 



Facts from 500 reports show that the 

 Michigan "bean crop is quite backward 

 in gsowth >0H account of continued cool 

 weather. The crop is about five inches 

 high — at least three weeks behind normal 

 growth. It will take good, warm, grow- 

 ing wewtfaer from now on to bring the 

 crop up to condition. 



On asters and sweet peas America is 

 not only self-supplying, but has for 

 some y«aF8 supplied important quantities 

 to the rest of the world. As for other 

 flower seeds, in a general way, the seed 

 trade is dependent on Grermany, although 

 there are important items that may as 

 well be.JbAd elsewhere. The war is giv- 

 ing a great impetus to flower seed pro- 

 duction in both England and America. 



The onion set crop at Chicago is in 

 such shape that the best guesser is at sea 

 as to the outcome. The growth is alto- 

 gether abnormal and the weather condi- 

 tions are such that there is little chiince 

 for any improvement. Harvest time is 

 at hand and not more than half of the 

 acreage is fit to take. It is a question 

 whether the sets will keep properly, even 

 though the growers can get them into the 

 crates. The situation is altogether prob- 

 lematical. 



The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, 

 brought together the other day the men 

 it has had going over its trial grounds at 

 Avondale, near Chicago, and at Colum- 

 bus, Wis., and found the trials to be in 

 splendid shape. A. H. Smith says a 

 great deal of information was derived 

 from comparing seed stocks from differ- 

 ent parts of the counU-y. Speaking of 

 peas, Mr. Smith saya the Wisconsin peas 

 are probably the best crop harvested as 

 to type and quality. The yield is good
