Small shipments of Chinese sacred 

 lilies have reached the trade during the 

 last week. 



California is waiting anxiously for 

 the beginning of the autumn rains, now 

 somewhat overdue. 



The Gurney Seed & Nursery Co., of 

 Yankton, S. D., is erecting a 4-8tory 

 warehouse, 75x78 feet. 



Fifty tons of Japanese bulbs arrived 

 in Chicago over the Chicago, Milwaukee & 

 St. Paul railway October 14. 



No one seems to be worrying about 

 peas, although reports from the north- 

 west ordinarSy would be alarming. 



Quantities of onion bulbs are moving 

 from the northwest and from Colorado to 

 the California seed-growing districts for 

 1916 crops. J 



Ralph M. Ward & Co., New York, re- 

 ceived 190 cases of bulbs on the boat 

 from Marseilles that arrived at New York 

 October 15. 



The lowest tenders on the govern- 

 ment's order for grass and clover seeds

W. E. Haile asserts that he is planting 

 the largest acreage of watermelon for 

 seed of any individual planter in the 

 Monticello district, and it is well known 

 that Jefferson county, Florida, grows 

 more watermelon seed for the trade 

 than any other one county in the United 

 States. 



With the onion set situation what it 

 is, what will buyers who have bought 

 under the market do when they are 

 supplied with samples of the stock it is 

 proposed to deliver! Will they release 

 the seller, or will they merely reject the 

 sample and insist on the delivery of a 

 merchantable article f 



The seed trade in Great Britain are 

 up in arms, the home guard, that is, 

 against a government proposal to abolish 

 the halfpenny post and to reduce the 

 letter post from four ounces a penny to 

 an ounce a penny. A meeting of the 

 trade authorized W. Cuthbertson, of Deb- 

 bie & Son, Edinburgh, and Arthur 

 Sutton, of Sutton & Sons, Beading, to 

 memorialize the authorities with the plea 

 that the plan will "not only place a new 

 burden on the horticultursJ trades, but 

 will go far to ruin their trade. The 

 proposed change would also give an al- 

 together unfair advantage to the for- 

 eign seedsmen, who will be able, unless 

 the postal union regulations are can- 

 celed, to flood the British market with 

 catalogues dispatched from abroad at ex- 

 isting rates."
