 ness trip after his vacation in Nova 

 Scotia.

James Kelv^ay states that twenty- 

 three per cent of the entire staff of 

 !^lway & Son, (Langport, to date has 

 joined the British colors. 



The man who is looking for onion 

 seed that is not tied up by somebody's 

 contract finds it possible to procure sur- 

 prisingly few tenders from first hands. 



W. Atlee Buepee & Co., Phildelphia, 

 state that they have advices from Cali- 

 fornia that the crops of their new sweet 

 peas will be much shorter than they an- 

 ticipated. 



The onion set specialists are not 

 anxious to book orders just now. The 

 crop is large, but the prospect of a loss 

 of possibly as much as fifty per cent 

 leads to the present reluctance to com- 

 mit oneself to price quotations. 



The cow pea and soy bean outlook in 

 Tennessee was never better than thus 

 far this season, it is said. If nothing 

 happens to change things, there should 

 be an unusually heavy crop of seed of 

 both. They are mostly set and should 

 ripen inside of the next month. 



The Fairview Seed Farms, Inc., of 

 Syracuse, N. Y., has been merged with 

 the F. B. Mills Seed Co., of Syracuse 

 and Rose HiU, N. Y. Frank B. Mills,

 name, states that his company owned all 

 the capital stock of the Fairview Seed 

 Farms. 



It is reported that there has been 

 considerable acreage of beans, mostly 

 Kentucky Wonder, allowed to go to 

 seed in the vicinity of Nashville, as the 

 price of green beans did not warrant 

 picking them. This is expected to pro- 

 vide an abundance of seed for the local 

 market. 



H. P. Bell, of Faribault, Minn., has 

 sold his businet's, the Faribault Seed Co., 

 to O. J. Stark. Mr. Stark has been 

 connected with the company for a num- 

 ber of years, and will conduct the busi- 

 ness under the same name. The company 

 was established many years ago by the 

 late A. J. Bell. 



The growers of gladiolus bulbs who 

 depend on the sale of cut blooms for a 

 considerable part of their annual revenue 

 this year are in position to appreciate the 

 feelings of their customers, who find 

 flowers of even the higher priced varie- 

 ties bringing only a few pennies per 

 dozen. 



The onion set crop at Chicago is in a 

 somewhat discouraging condition. A year 

 ago, the crop had been harvested for 

 more than a month. This year it is not 

 more than one-third harvested and the 

 harvesters are compelled to work in
