The gladiolus bulbs are lifting in fine 

 flhape. 



The German flower seeds still come to 

 hand in regular succession of parcels 

 within the weight limit of the mails. 

 The field and garden seeds are another 

 matter. 



Seedsmen who are interested in gladi- 

 olus bulbs will find a note in the Chicago 

 news letter in this issue concerning the 

 sale of the stock of bulbs of the Kun- 

 4erd variety, Myrtle. 



The trade looks forward to an unusu- 

 ally strong demand for onion seed this 

 season, as a result of what is expected 

 to be an inevitable shortage of onion 

 bulbs in the produce markets in late win- 

 ter. 



Again seedsmen's assistants are in re- 

 quest. There are plenty of men without 

 training, but the approach of another 

 season brings out the dearth of employees 

 capable of going ahead without constant 

 supervision. 



The new Chicago plant of the Albert 

 Dickinson Co., nearing completion, in- 

 volves an estimated total investment of 

 13,000,000 to $3,500,000, and will give 

 employment to about 650 men. The 

 •holdings of the company now cover 

 more than seventy acres. 



It is interesting to note that the im- 

 ports of Dutch bulbs through the port of 

 New York to October 18 were 32,591 

 ^sases, against 31,396 cases to the same 

 date last year. The difference in the 

 situation is vastly greater, however. Last 

 year there was great outcry about demor- 

 alizing the market and the dumping of 

 surpluses, while this season bulbs are 

 selling fully as well as ever before and 

 many varieties are short of the demand. 

 Prices, here and in Holland, average 

 Tight up to those of normal times. 



SWEET COBN IN OHIO. 



Not in our thirty-five years' ex- 

 perience have we seen so wet and cold 

 4 summer and fall as we have had here 

 in Ohio in 1915. The result is our crops 

 ■of corn are all extremely late; eighty- 

 five to ninety per cent got ripe; the 

 balance of the crop was killed by frost. 

 The crop therefore is three to four 

 weeks late, which makes it all green at 

 this writing, October 25. Just now we 

 are having good drying weather, and if 

 it will continue throughout November 

 and hard freezes hold off we shall have 

 fair to good seed corn crops to ship to 

 our customers. The fields of topped 

 sweet corn have just started to dry a 

 little. Therefore one can judge how late 

 the crop is. One year ago today we had 

 7,000 bushels of seed corn in our ware- 

 houses ready to ship. Today we have 

 not 100 bushels of the new crop that is 

 dry. We shall start using heat to help 

 dry it at once. C. S. Clark & Son. 



THE GLADIOLUS SITUATION. 



There is an old saying to the effect 

 that "it is a long lane that has no 

 turn, ' ' and apparently the turn has been 

 reached on the way the gladiolus bulb
