The relaxation of the British embargo 

 affords a prospect of the resumption of 

 imports- of German seeds. 



The death of Edwin Lonsdale, man- 

 ager of W. Atlee Burpee's Floradale 

 Farm, at Lompoc, Cal., is recorded in 

 this week's obituary column. 



The prospects for the usual imports of 

 lily of the valley pips are so poor that 

 holders of 1914 crop in good condition 

 are advancing prices to stretch the sup- 

 ply as far as possible. 



Alarmist reports are out regarding 

 the frost damage to beans, estimates run- 

 ning all the way from fifteen to forty per 

 cent, but it should be. remembered that 

 things seldom turn out so bad as they 

 seem. 



The retail department of the Central 

 Seed & Bulb Co., of Benton Harbor, 

 Mich., has been discontinued. E. S. 

 Thompson and his associates will devote 

 their energies toward developing the 

 wholesale end of the business, which 

 has been growing rapidly. 



Augustus Caspees, seedsman, nursery- 

 man and florist, at Rochelle, 111., is mak- 

 ing preparations for adding a wholesale 

 and mail-order seed department to his 

 interests. Mr. Caspers says catalogue 

 and price lists will be ready for distri- 

 bution about January 1, 1916. 



Some people still insist on the earliest 

 possible delivery of their giganteum lily 

 bulbs, in spite of the fact that the better 

 ripened stock is well known to be su- 

 perior, and the early shipments are on the 

 way, due shortly. The Japanese appear 

 to have the market under control, the crop 

 not being so large as last year. 



J. C. Robinson, Waterloo, Neb., stated 

 September 6: "We have just learned 

 from Rocky Ford, Colo., that the cucum- 

 ber prospects at that point are not nearly 

 80 good as they were ten days ago. At 

 that time there was a prospect of fifty 

 per cent of a crop as compared with last 

 year, last year's crop being unusually 

 large. Present prospects would indicate 

 not over twenty-five per cent of the crop 

 we had a year ago. ' ' 



Substitute articles of incorporation 

 have been filed by the Shugart-Ouren 

 Seed Co., of Council Bluffs, la., for the 

 purpose of making possible an increase 

 of capital stock from $50,000 to $100,- 

 000, and for other changes in the organi- 

 zation. The life of the corporation is 

 renewed for a period of ten years and 

 eight months from November 1, 1915. 

 C. G. Ouren, president, and J. D. Davis, 

 secretary, are the signers of the new 

 articles. 



The Ollioules market for Paper Whites 

 has had more than the usual ups and 

 downs this season and the outcome is 

 awaited with interest. Those who held 

 the opening prices to be artificially high 

 felt their views confirmed by the fall in 

 price that soon took place, but almost 

 immediately the mdrket went up again. 

 Today the exporters say there will l^ no 

 surplus, but there are those on this side 

 of the water who look for a big break in
