To make a thoroughly good crop of 

 , sweet corn six weeks of real summer 

 weather are essential. 



It looks as though the arrival of all 

 bulbs, French, Dutch and Japanese^ this 

 season will be irregular, due to infre- 

 quent sailings and the lack of adequate 

 space on the boats. 



California reports concerning sweet 

 peas are not encouraging; there are so 

 many losses through the operations of 

 the aphis that it wUl take the completion 

 of the harvest to show what will be 

 available of any variety. 



Chris. Eeuter, of New Orleans, who 

 designates himself as ' ' The South 's Fore- 

 most Seedsman," has issued a book of 

 190 pages entitled ' * How to Grow, Pack 

 and Ship Vegetables for Profit." It is 

 a development of his free service bureau 

 for southern truckers, established several 

 years ago. 



The man who has started laying out 

 his 1916 catalogue is up in" the air to 

 a worse degree than a year ago. Except 

 for the seeds now in the warehouse, sup- 

 ply is more uncertain than last season, 

 as the outcome of domestic crops has 

 been put in doubt by the unusual weather 

 conditions. 



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

 Chicago, who was confined to his home 

 several days last week as a result of 

 ptomaine poisoning, was at his desk July 

 31, though not altogether recovered. His 

 family returned July 30 from a three 

 weeks' outing on the Clark farm at 

 Oneida, N. Y. 



Eeports from France are not encour- 

 aging as regards seeds of the 1915 crop 

 for export. All circumstances have been 

 unfavorable. There will, of course, be 

 considerable stock that will be available 

 to America, but what these will be no 

 one can say with certainty, or how the 

 quality will have been affected. 



With the British authorities steadily 

 tightening their strangle-hold on German 

 foreign trade, there appears small pros- 

 pect of obtaining any German seeds this 

 year except such as can come through the 

 mails; the British have not yet seen 

 their way clear to turning back Dutch, 

 Scandinavian or even Grerman mail for 

 the United States. 



Judging from present conditions, 

 choice onion sets will be at a premium 

 this year. Should this be so, those houses 

 that have been selling onion sets at low 

 prices for future delix^ery in anticipation 

 of a heavy crop will probably find it 

 • difficult to carry out their contracts. It 

 is generally understood that these sales 

 were made with a guarantee of delivery 

 and of quality. 



Nothing has developed in the pea and 

 bean crop situation during the last week 

 to indicate an improvement. The early 

 varieties of peas have in many cases 

 already been cut and are only awaiting 

 dry weather to put them in proper shape 

 for threshing. There is, of course, the 

 possibility of their molding during the 

 wait. The later varieties will, under 

 favorable weather conditions, turn out 

 much better. All other seed crops are
