driven to San Juan and were returning, 

 when the horse became frightened, 

 whirled around suddenly, overturning 

 the buggy and throwing Mr. and Mrs. 

 Pieters out. Mrs. Pieters escaped with- 

 out injury, but one of Mr. Pieters' ears 

 and his face were badly cut. 



Iowa has a crop of red clover seed this 

 season for the first time in six years. 



The Prior Seed Co., Minneapolis, will 

 fit up the second floor of its building.

It is reported that in the vicinity of 

 Bay City this season certain sorts of 

 green-podded beans have yielded as high 

 as thirty-eight bushels per acre. 



The reports from Delaware are of an 

 especially good growing season for holly 

 and shippers say they will have fair 

 quantities of bright, well berried stock. 



Not much news of bouquet green has 

 as yet come out of the woods. It is 

 fine picking weather in Wisconsin, but 

 each year it is necessary to go farther 

 afield for green. 



Thomas M. Hunter, the Chicago 

 grass-seed dealer, now a city alderman, 

 is a candidate for chief bailiff of the 

 new municipal court at the approaching 

 election. 



F. C. White, agricultural and horti- 

 cultural commissioner of the Eock Island 

 railroad, is touring the northern and 

 eastern states with a car exhibiting the 

 farm and orchard products of Texas and : 

 • Oklahoma. 



The time has passed when an up-to- 

 date seed catalogue can be illustrated 

 with zinc reproductions of the other fel- 

 low's old woodcuts. The modem method 

 requires wash drawings, either from the 

 clippings or from photographs, suitable 

 for halftone reproduction. 



Charles A. Root has sold his interest 

 in the seed business of Root & Rosen- 

 berger, Estherville, la., which in future 

 will be conducted as Rosenberger & Lit- 

 tell, the new member being Harry Lit- 

 tell. The building they occupy will bo 

 remodeled and other lines added. 



Things are still very unsettled in the 

 seed trade in France and a dispasition 

 shown to wait for fuller information as 

 to stocks, etc., before quoting or accept- 

 ing prices. P^xpert opinion is that things 

 will turn out distinctly better than was 

 at one time feared, and though there 

 may be a scarcity of certain articles, 

 sufficient will turn up from one source 

 or another to satisfy the demand. The 

 radish seed crop is the one great disap- 

 pointment.

HOLLAND REPORT. 



Continued fine and unusually warm 

 weather marked tlip month of "September 

 and growers in dolland have been able 

 to push the planting of bulbs with all 

 possible speed. By this time many mil- 

 lions of bulbs are in the ground, and 

 no doubt as many will have to be 

 planted still. Shipments of bulbs have 

 now come to an end and soon prepara- 

 tions will be made for the lifting or the 

 late ripening crops such as gladioli, 

 spirsea and lilium. Although liliums 

 have suffered, in many localities, much 

 from the effects of the long dry spell, 

 gladioli and spirtea crops are expected 

 to turn out fairly good. Of Gladioli 

 Colvillei the crop has now been lifted 

 and in many sections stocks are so 

 badly infected by disease that good, 

 healthy bulbs are really scarce and com- 

 mand good prices. Too heavy manuring 

 seems to play havoc with Gladioli Col- 

 villei and is generally supposed to bo 

 the cause of the many diseased stocks.
