Onion promises to be good property 

 again this season. 



It is too late to entertain hope for the 

 bean crop. The supply for 1916 will be, 

 relatively to the demand, the smallest 

 ever known. 



There are reports of considerable 

 quantities of bulbs that came in on the 

 last trip of the Byndam being heated 

 when the cases were opened. 



Sweet corn in the principal growing 

 districts, east, middle west and west, has 

 profited by recent warm weather, but 

 there has been too much rain. 



The prospects are for a large enough 

 crop of American grown aster seeds so 

 that the nonarrival of the European 

 stock would not be a vital matter. 



The man who makes the catalogue has 

 a rather more difficult job this year than 

 last. He scarcely can be sure of any- 

 thing except that nearly all seeds will 

 be scarce. 



It is reported that because of the in- 

 ability to secure space on the Fabre line 

 boats, one of the Holland bulb houses 

 shipped 1,100 cases, including Bomans, 

 Paper Whites and Golden Spurs, from 

 Marseilles as late as September 2. 



The Germain Seed & Plant Co., Los 

 Angeles, last week lost a considerable 

 quantity of wholesale seed stock in a 

 fire that destroyed a warehouse. Their 

 loss is estimated at between $40,000 and 

 $50,000, fully covered by insurance. 



Bttters who have not yet received 

 their French bulbs are making things 

 interesting for the sellers. In some 

 cases delayed delivery is due to inade- 

 quate transportation facilities this sea- 

 son, but in other cases it seems to have 

 resulted through placing orders at too 

 low prices with concerns that now feel 

 under no obligations to make delivery. 



The first meeting of the creditors of 

 the Johnson Seed Co., Philadelphia, 

 which was thrown into bankruptcy July 

 19 and the stock of which was closed 

 out at public sale August 24, will be held 

 at the office of Beferee Mellors in Phila- 

 delphia October 4. There is in sight 

 only a small dividend for creditors. The 

 receiver has given notice that he will 

 ask double commissions for conducting 

 the business during the thirty-seven days 

 he continued it under the order of the 

 court. 



On the evening of September 20 H. G. 

 Hastings Co., Atlanta, gave its em- 

 ployees a dinnei' dance in the structure 

 to commemorate the opening of a spa- 

 cious new addition to its buildings. The 

 size of the Hastings business has grown 

 to such proportions that additions have 

 frequently been necessary, but with the 

 present new addition and improvements 

 W. B. Hastings asserts "the concern 

 has a larger capacity for filling seed 

 mail-orders than any other seed house 

 in these United States. ' ' This he thinks 

 ** speaks rather well for Atlanta, for 

 Georgia, and the south. It shows that 

 the southern farmer and gardener ap- 

 preciates the benefits of better seeds and
