 in Iowa and Nebraska indicate excellent 

 crops for practically all varieties, the 

 late sorts being well out of the way of 

 frost. 



Nasturtiums, both dwarf and tall in 

 mixture, are short crops, according to 

 reports. The increasing demand for nas- 

 turtiums has not been fully met by the 

 growers.

 quality. The crop is reported adequate, 

 but cost is a little above normal, the 

 same holding true of all bulbs and Other 

 exports by Japan. 



The promiscuous buying of sweet corn 

 when it was scarce two years ago is re- 

 sponsible for the present surplus that

 this year's growth, and which they are 

 offering to the trade. . . - •
