W. Atlee Burpee, Jr., and Howard M. 

 Earl are on the Pacific coast. 



Holland bulb travelers already are 

 canvassing the trade for orders for 1916 

 crops, almost coincident with delivery 

 of the 1915 crop. 



Mrs. M. W. Johansen, secretary of 

 the Johansen Seed Co., Los Angeles, is 

 recovering from a nervous breakdown re- 

 sulting from overwork. 



A DISPOSITION to advance the price of 

 some of the standard varieties of tulips 

 is reported, as the result of stock having 

 cleaned up unexpectedly fast. 



Cables to Ollioules make it appear 

 that no more Paper Whites can be ob- 

 tained this year. So far as reported, no 

 one is cabling for Bomans. 



E. Dean Hickox, treasurer of the 

 Hickox-Rumsey Co., Batavia, N. Y., has 

 submitted to an operation for a kid- 

 ney disorder after being confined to his 

 home for several weeks. He is reported 

 as convalescing satisfactorily. 



Secretary Kendel this week has sent 

 to members of the American Seed Trade 

 Association the thirty-third annual vol- 

 ume, containing the stenographic report 

 of the San Francisco convention and the 

 usual other association matter. 



W. E. Haile, Monticello, Fla., recently 

 completed a trip among the growers of 

 velvet beans for seed in Florida, Ala- 

 bama and Georgia. His observations 

 lead him to believe no more ,than half a 

 crop will be made, as the result of 

 drought and the ravages of caterpillar. 



F. W. Bruogerhof, president of the 

 Wholesale Seedsmen's League and of 

 J. M. Thorbum & Co., New York, cele- 

 brated his eighty-fifth birthday anni- 

 versary this week. He was bom of Hol- 

 land parentage, in Prussia, October 13, 

 1830. There probably is no older man 

 actively engaged in thd seed trade, and 

 certainly none more revered. 



Joseph Schildek, of Schilder Bros., 

 Chillicothe, O., was in Chicago October 

 6 to 8, superintending the shipping of 

 onion sets and contracting for the sale 

 of onion seeds for 1916 delivery. Mr. 

 Schilder, who has been traveling over the 

 various growing districts of the central 

 states, is of the opinion that seed for 

 white onion sets will be remarkably scarce 

 next year. 



ONION SETS AND SEED. 



White onion sets are so damaged by 

 wet weather that the sample, according 

 to A. H. Smith, treasurer of the 

 Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, is quite un- 

 satisfactory. Yellow sets are much 

 better; red are between the two. 

 Onion sets as a crop are decidedly 

 short. There are few flrst-class whites 

 at any price. Most of the whites will 

 not keep, under present conditions, un- 

 til they reach their destination. Prices, 

 accordingly, will be unusually high 

 next year, and the man who stores stock 

 is facing a probable loss of from thirty 

 to forty per cent shrinkage on both 

 sets and large onions. Speaking of
