ing, subsequent to other delayed opera- 

 tions on the farm which must take prece- 

 dence of bean planting, as to carry the 

 date of the bean harvest to near the frost 

 period. 



The trend of the mail-order seed 

 trade seems to be westward. 



Tor California plant and bulb offers, 

 see the Pacific Coast page of the Re- 

 view. 



Henby Field, Shenandoah, la., haa 

 decided to go ahead with the erection 

 of his projected new warehouse. 



A Baltimore seedsman says that in 

 that vicinity there is no diflSculty in 

 placing any supplies of pole lima beans. 



The McMorran-Gray Co., Port Huron, 

 Mich., has a branch at Harbor Beach 

 and this season has added one at Bose 

 City, Mich. 



D 'Alcorn & Sons, bulb growers at 

 Portsmouth, Va., feel especially pleased 

 with the receipt of an order for bulbs 

 of Darwin tuUps from Mrs. . Roosevelt ; 

 their flowers were used at the time of 

 the opening of the Jamestown exposi- 

 tion and her order followed. 



The a. E. McKenzie Seed Co., 

 Brandon, Manitoba, is in need of extra 

 space to handle its increasing business. 

 Changes made during the summer will 

 give them a greatly enlarged store and 

 oflSce space. They handle cut flowers 

 and plants as well as seeds and the usual 

 allied lines. 



The fall bulb lists are beginning to 

 make their appearance. In spite of the 

 fact that the Hollanders who visit this 

 country report taking orders in greater 

 numbers each year, and the crops in Hol- 

 land are said to be not increasing, the 

 American dealers who make bulbs a spe- 

 cialty are steadily increasing their im- 

 port orders. 



It does not take De Giorgi Bros, long 

 to make a move when once they make 

 up their minds to it. Late in May they 

 determined to remove their base of op- 

 erations from 81 Dearborn avenue to 

 Council Bluffs, la., and on May 30 they 

 notified the trade that the change had 

 been effected. They intend to do a gen- 

 eral mail-order seed business on a larger 

 scale than heretofore. 



At the banquet of members of firms 

 founded over 100 years ago, held at the 

 Bellevue-Stratford, Philadelphia, June 6, 

 two seed houses were represented. F. W. 

 Bruggerhof represented J. M. Thorburn 

 ft Co., of New York, and Burnet Land- 

 reth and Burnet Landreth, Jr., repre- 

 sented the Landreth Seed Co., Bristol, 

 Pa. Mr. Landreth, Sr., is president of 

 the Association of Centenary Firms and 

 sat at the head of the table. The menu 

 was elaborate and included Thorburn po- 

 tatoes and Landreth romaine salad. 



IOWA SEEDSMEN ORGANIZE. 



The seed merchants of the state of 

 Iowa met at the Chamberlain hotel, at 

 Des Moines, Wednesday, June 5, and

 tion. There were present eighteen per-

or washed out by the almost daily rains 

 of the last six weeks, and what has grown 

 has been seriously retarded by the cold, 

 damp soil. Really, the crop does not 

 promise one-third of what would have 

 been considered a reasonable estimate at 

 the time of drilling seed in April and 

 early May. The prospect here is really 

 quite calamitous, and so it is with almost 

 everything. 



The corn crop certainly will in many 

 instances be so delayed as to suffer ex- 

 ceedingly both from dry weather in July 

 and August, and possibly by being 

 caught by frost before it is matured. A 

 month 's delay in a corn crop makes its 

 maturity questionable.
