 will be held on the St liawrence, June, 1906. 



There still remain a few acres of 

 onion sets to be harvested at Chicago. 



Alfred Emeeich, of Vilmorin-Andriexix 

 & Co., Paris, arrived in New York Sep- 

 tember 17. 



White Pearl onion sets are in brisk 

 demand at the south, the genuine article 

 bringing a good price. 



Boston seed merchants report bulb 

 trade as very quiet to date, few counter 

 orders having yet come in. 



The frosts of last week did serious 

 damage to some of the cucumber and 

 melon seed crops in southern Michigan. 



The Michigan radish crop is ripen- 

 ing veij unevenly, parts of the fields 

 showing well filled pods, while other 

 parts are still in blossom. 



In northern Michigan and Wisconsin 

 the pea growers are now busy receiving 

 their product from the farmers and the 

 milling of Alaskas and extra earlies has 

 begun. 



It is announced that Miss Anna Hage- 

 mann, daughter of Wm. Hagemann, of 

 Hagemann & Ca.,New York, vnll be 

 married September 28 to Paul Kaese, of 

 Hamburg, Germany. 



Reports from the onion growing 

 marshes of Ohio and Indiana are to the 

 effect that the crop is of excellent qual- 

 ity, but only sixty per cent in quantity, 

 as compared with normal years. 



The critical time for the bean crop 

 ia at hand. Good sunshiny weather for 

 the next two weeks will help things along, 

 while rainy weather will spoil the sam- 

 ple and shrink the quantity of mer- 

 chantable stock. 



Visited Chicago:— S. B. Dicks, rep- 

 resenting Cooper, Taber & Co., London, 

 Eng.; Otto H. E. Weis, manager David 

 Sachs, Quedlingburg, Germany; Hjalmar 

 Hartmann, of Hjalmar Hartmann & 

 Co., Copenhagen, Denmark. 



Many of the sweet com growers feel 

 sure of a fairly good crop. The frost re- 

 ported last week did no serious damage 

 in Iowa and Nebraska and with ordi- 

 narily good weath«^ for a week or two 

 there seems to be no doubt but that the 

 crop will come up to the estimates of 

 two weeks ago. 



The government crop report says that 

 of the thirteen principal clover seed 

 producing states, four, namely, Wiscon- 

 sin, Colorado, Utah and California, re- 

 port increased acreages, while all the 

 others report decreases. In Indiana, 

 Iowa and Colorado conditions are below 

 their ten-year averages, while all others 

 report conditions above such averages.

WHOLESALE ORDERS SOLICITED 



D. H. Gilbert, Monticello, Fla., has 

 about finished harvesting 300 acres of 

 water melons for seed and the crop is 

 very satisfactory, with the exception 

 of some late plantings. Deliveries will 

 not be short of 70 to 90 per cent and 

 with most varieties full deliveries. 



Reports in general indicate that much 

 of the cucumber seed will be so light 

 that it will blow out when being milled 

 and that the outlook is not much bet- 

 ter for a crop than at this time last 

 year. In central Illinois, where the sea- 

 son was comparatively favorable for 

 the fruits yielding heavy seed, the dry- 

 ing out process shows the product to be 

 all of forty per cent light. It is thought 

 that the sections farther north and west 

 will show a much heavier percentage of 

 light seed. 



A WELL-KNOWN observer writing from 

 Waterloo, Neb., September 12, said: 

 "Generally speaking, muskmelon crops 

 are very light, watermelon, pumpkin and 

 winter squash late and uncertain. As 

 for cucumber, there are some very good 

 crops but many others are in poor con- 

 dition and the yield depends to a con- 

 siderable extent on the length of time 

 before a killing frost. Early varieties 

 of sweet and field com will give good 

 returns, while the later kinds are in dan- 

 ger of not maturing." 



A. Le Coq & Co., Darmstadt, Ger- 

 many, write that "the mild winter and 

 the fine weather we had in the early 

 spring were very favorable for the de- 

 velopment of the plants and all pros- 

 pects were for a very good harvest of 

 grass seeds this year. But it turned 

 out differently. In the latter part of 

 the spring the temperature changed al- 

 most every day from cold to hot and 

 vice versa. This, with the continued 

 drouth during June and July have done 

 much harm to the plants and the form-

CORN NOT HURT. 



A, A. Berry, Clarinda, la., writes: 

 "The frost in this section was very 

 light and no damage was done to the 

 com or vine crops. It keeps the corn 



freen, however, and there is a great 

 eal that will be affected more or lees 

 with frost, which is bound to come be- 

 fore it can dry sufficiently." 



J. W. Eatekin, Shenandoah, la., 

 writes: "Eegarding the reports of frost 

 m the corn belt will say we have not 

 had any killing frosts so far, although 

 we have had cold nights which were 

 close to It. Prospects in this neighbor- 

 hood are for one of the best crops of 

 com for seed purposes we have ever 



Telegraphic reports from points in 

 Iowa and Nebraska are to the effect 

 that on the night of September 20, while 

 the thermometer reading was low, those 

 states were covered by clouds, with good 

 winds blowing, and frost was avoided.
