The St. Louis Seed Co., St. Louis, re- 

 ports the arrival of six boxes of flower 

 seeds from Erfurt, Germany, via parcel 

 post. 



The giganteum bulbs are due any day 

 now. Advices from Japan indicate that 

 there will be no surplus of the 1915 

 crop. 



Unless all signs fail, the 1916 seed 

 catalogues will show a quite general ten- 

 dency to return to the simple life. No- 

 body is saying much about it, but a lot 

 of hard thinking is being done over the 

 question of cost of books. The use of 

 fine paper, big cuts and costly printing 

 hM, in the view of many, quite possibly 

 been overdone. Larger editions of less 

 expensive books may be in order. 



The pickle packers, who have had 

 rather short crops for several years, have 

 not fared so badly this season as was at 

 first thought likely. While many patches 

 were lost because of excessive rainfall, 

 quantities of stock came to the salting 

 vats in late September, after the season 

 usually is over. Yields run from 200 

 bushels per acre down to nothing. One 

 man with 90,000 bushels in brine esti- 

 mates the average yield as ninety to 100 

 bushels per acre. In Michigan the har- 

 vest has been above the average. 



John C. Leonard, vice-president of the 

 Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, has returned 

 from a tour of the Michigan cucumber 

 sections, and reports that of the best 

 grade there is not more than half a crop. 

 As a result of the shortage, cucumber 

 seed will in all probability advance in 

 price. The report is brought from Ken- 

 tucky by A. H. Smith that the acreage of 

 onion sets in that part of the country was 

 unusually small. The yield, however, is 

 quite good for the number of pounds 

 planted. The total output, though, is so 

 small that it will cut no figure with the 

 Chicago market. 



The board of directors of the Whole- 

 sale Seedsmen 's League will meet at New 

 York October 7, the object being, accord- 

 ing to Secretary Landreth, "to consider 

 the subject of the alarming shortages in 

 seed supplies, both at home and abroad. 

 The meeting will be attended only by mem- 

 bers of the board, the deliberations subse- 

 quently being made public to all members 

 of the league and to such other seed estab- 

 lishments as work in harmony with it." 

 "It so happens this autumn," adds Mr. 

 Landreth, "that, while the shortage is 

 calamitous in many articles of seed, it is 

 at the same time serious in nearly every- 

 thing." 



After November 1 the Shugart & 

 Ouren Seed Co., of Council Bluffs, la., 

 will be known as the Ouren Seed Co. 

 The decision to change the corporate name 

 was reached at a recent stockholders' 

 meeting, when the capital stock was in- 

 creased to $100,000, which is double the 

 former capitalization. Mr. Shugart, who 

 was identified with the company for many 

 years, retired five years ago and the pres- 

 ent stockholders deemed it advisable to 

 drop his name from the title. The offi- 

 cers of the company are: President, C. 

 G. Ouren; vice-president, F. E. Davis; sec-
