Thk double varieties of sweet peas are 

 said to be scarce. 



Green-podded beans are the one item 



that is perplexing the Michigan growers. 



■ « 

 It is reported that Mrs. Frank T. 

 Emerson recently has fallen heir to a 

 fortune of "$100,000 or better."' 



When the new Food and Drugs Act 

 goes into effect, January 1, seedsmen 

 might as well forget the addresses of the 

 spice-grinders. 



Onion seed continues to agitate the 

 minds of the larger handlers. Some of 

 them have stocks in sight and in store 

 but the question of values is still an 

 open one. 



At Chicago, October 23, Timothy was 

 firm, cash seed, $3 to $3.85; October 

 $4.05 bid, December $4.15, March $4.25. 

 Clover was $13 for October, $«^ to $12.85 

 for poor to choice. 



A FEW bushels of the Chicago onion 

 set crop were burned last week. This 

 calls to mind the Leonard fire of 1899, 

 when S. F. Leonard lost 40,000 bushels 

 of the article and still had some to sell. 



The early varieties of foreign grown 

 radish seed, especially the French prod- 

 uct, are being cut further with each 

 succeeding report. Five per cent less 

 than the stock seed is reported from one 

 source. 



It is notable how close the different 

 bean and pea growers come to the actual 

 conditions of the present year's harvest. 

 They each know how things are, but 

 they are willing to hear the views of 

 the others. 



Fall shipments of onion sets will soon 

 end. The product that is to be carried 

 until January and early spring ship 

 ment is pretty well stored for winter 

 and set operations will cease for the 

 time being. 



Bettee prices have been realized for 

 onion sets this fall than for some years. 

 This fact is likely to have considerable 

 influence upon the demand for set seed. 

 The smaller grower always increases his 

 plantings the spring following a good 

 market in the fall. 



Visited Chicago: — Frank T. Emerson 

 and wife, Fremont, Neb., enroute to 

 Corpus Christi, Tex.; F. J. Bies, of the 

 Bromfield-Colvin-Ries Co., Bay City, 

 Mich.; E. R. Eicketts, of the Springfield 

 Seed Co., Springfield, Mo.; N. J. Burt, 

 Burlington, la., accompanied by his 

 brother; F. H. Morrison, Fairfield, 

 Wash. 



Is it the seed or is it the soil and 

 climatic conditions that puts quality 

 into the muskmelon? This is an im- 

 portant question in view of the promi- 

 nence that a certain favored melon- 

 growing center is seeking for its seed. 

 Good peaches are grown in Colorado, 

 lint Delaware thinks it grows better

Thb Department of Agriculture has 

 issued, as Bulletin No. 260, "Seed of 

 Red Clover and Its Impurities," by 

 Edgar Brown and F. H. Hillman, which 

 will be of especial interest to seedsmen. 

 It will be all the more intelligible for 

 the reason that it apparently escaped
