Last week's boat from Bermuda 

 brought not even one case of Harrisii 

 bulbs. The total arrivals this season to 

 date are only 830 cases. 



The Griswold Seed Co., Lincoln, Neb., 

 in a petition to the Interstate Commerce 

 Commission, asks that the freight rate on 

 sweet clover seed from Wheatland, Wyo., 

 to Lincoln be reduced from 80 cents to 

 60 cents per hundred pounds. 



The later indications are that the Au- 

 gust frosts did no great general harm to 

 the bean crops, but this should not be 

 taken as indicating absence of cause for 

 concern — the bean crops were bad enough 

 without anything more happening to 

 them. 



An American consular oflBcer in Chile 

 states that a business man in his dis- 

 trict is in a position to make shipments 

 of large quantities of clover seed. Cor- 

 respondence may be had in English 

 through the Department of Commerce, 

 Washington, D. C. 



Aethur W. Schisler, of St. Louis, 

 who recently was reported as having pur- 

 chased a farm of 377 acres near Clayton, 

 Mo., for trial grounds and seed growing, 

 is of the Schisler & Kaercher Seed Co. 

 Up to about a year ago the concern was 

 the Schisler Grain Co. 



First prize for the best decorated au- 

 tomobile in the floral parade at the New 

 England fair, at Worcester, Mass., Sep- 

 tember 7, was awarded to Walter D. Boss, 

 head of the seed house of Eoss Bros. 

 Co., Worcester, and president of the 

 Worcester Agricultural Society. His 

 Cadillac was decorated to represent a 

 battleship. 



To interest the public in the mainten- 

 ance of lawns, F. C. McNabb, manager 

 of the Arizona Seed Co., Phoenix, Ariz., 

 has inaugurated a lawn-growing contest, 

 with liberal cash prizes for the winning 

 contestants. The company has imported 

 a carload of grass seed from Europe, 

 which will be tested by some of those 

 who aspire to the prizes. 



A deal was consummated September 

 4 whereby Clarence Wedge, proprietor 

 of the Wedge Nursery, at Albert Lea, 

 Minn., becomes part owner of the Robert 

 H. Black seed house, of the same place. 

 Robert Black, who retains half interest 

 in the business, states that his business 

 had grown to a point where it required 

 more capital and attention. Mr. Wedge 

 has been in the seed business for many 

 years and will continue to conduct the 

 Wedge Nursery. The firm name of the 

 new company is Black's Seeds. 



The seed trade has taken interest this 

 week in watching the wireless reports 

 from the Sant' Anna, the Fabre line 

 steamer on fire in mid-Atlantic. This is 

 the boat that has brought most of the 

 French bulbs to America and on its last 

 trip fetched 12,311 cases. The fire at 

 sea, on the return voyage to Marseilles, 

 was in the No. 2 hold, the same one in 

 which fire damaged a large quantity of 

 bulbs and immortelles as the boat lay at 

 its dock in Hoboken one year ago. At 

 last reports the Sant' Anna had reached
