In the big onion set district south of 

 Ohicago there are thousands upon thou- 

 sands of empty trays stacked around the 

 fields. 



A WELL appointed seed store has been 

 opened by the Planters Seed Co., of Amer- 

 icus, Ga. W. C, Gardner is manager of 

 the store, which has as a motto, "We 

 Sell Seeds That Grow." 



Early in December Interstate Com- 

 merce Commission Examiner Waters will 

 take testimony at Lincoln, Neb., in the 

 complaint of the Griswold Seed Co. vs. 

 the C. & S. E. R., involving rates on 

 seeds. 



As from forty to fifty per cent of 

 the bean crop was destroyed by frost 

 the latter part of August, and what re- 

 mained was further damaged by the wet 

 weather, many seedsmen believe that not 

 even the seed for the crop will be re- 

 covered. 



Lester L. Morse, San Francisco, ex- 

 president of the American Seed Trade 

 Association, and his wife were guests at 

 the Blackstone hotel, Chicago, last week 

 while en route to the Atlantic coast. They 

 were accompanied by O. L. Coulter, of 

 C. C. Morse & Co. 



As the result of a romance that had its 

 beginning in St. Luke 's hospital, Chicago,

 son Co., and Miss Lina E. Brown, who 

 nursed him back to life and healthy will 

 be married November 6. 



W. A. Davis, head of the W. A. Davis 

 Seed Co., of Bozeman, Mont., which has 

 contracted for a large acreage of seed 

 peas this year, says that the general aver- 

 age yield per acre is high. In one var- 

 iety, Perfection, Mr. Davis says no yield 

 fell below forty bushels per acre. He has 

 contracted for 200 acres of that variety. 



The cable brings brief word from Ber- 

 lin via London that "the parcel post 

 service to America has been discontinued 

 until further notice. No official reason 

 for the discontinuance is given." But it 

 means a great deal to seedsmen, in (Ger- 

 many and America, as the mail has been 

 bringing large quantities of the smaller 

 and more valuable seeds, especially flower 

 seeds. 



The yearly meeting of the Western 

 Packers' Association at Hotel Sherman, 

 Chicago, October 27 and 28, was, from 

 the standpoint of the sweet corn canners 

 in particular, a complete success. The 

 sweet corn conditions are improving and 

 the business outlook is favorable. Among 

 the visitors were Charles P. Guelph, of 

 the J. B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. 

 Y. ; C. B. Coe, of D. M. Ferry & Co., De- 

 troit, Mich., and Mr. Mather, of the Ever-
