There are no definite reports from 

 the vine seed crops. It is, perhaps, 

 rather early for this; still, usually by 

 this time something has been said by 

 growers, which indicates that things are 

 somewhat behind. 



Some recent rains in the northern 

 Michigan pea-growing sections have 

 helped the crops considerably, but on 

 the whole reports indicate that the crops 

 are not up to the averages usual at 

 this time of the year. 



The Michigan radish crop is very 

 weedy. It is now beyond the culti- 

 vating stage, for the most part, so that 

 the weeds now showing will have to con- 

 tinue to grow with the crop. This is a 

 bad thing, as much of the seed will be 

 lost on account of it. 



Edward Berg, of Berg & Smalley, Mc- 

 Pherson, Kan., has sold his interest to 

 Carl J, Smalley and the firm will here- 

 after be known as Smalley & Co. Carl 

 Smalley has traveled for the house for 

 several years. Their business shows a 

 steady annual growth. 



Onion set conditions at Chicago are 

 about the same as reported last week. 

 The weather of the week has been favor- 

 able and much hand weeding, which was 

 badly needed, has been done. Nothing 

 has occurred to change things materially 

 and our crop estimate of last week is 

 likely to hold good. There can nothing 

 happen now to spoil the crop except 

 rains at harvest time, which will be 

 about two weeks later than usual. 



Reports this week from the Wisconsin 

 pea section state that crops look well 

 but are exceedingly weedy, which, com- 

 bined with the wet weather, is liable to 

 cause a considerable rotting away. It 

 is hoped that dry weather from now on 

 will prevail, ip. which event the present 

 outlook for a good crop may be realized. 

 If, on the contrary, the wet weather con- 

 tinues, it is bound to work havoc with 

 the peas and cut the crop a great deal.

Reports from California continue 

 to show better prospects than were at 

 first expected for the 1907 crop. 



French bulbs are in the packers' 

 hands and soon will be on the water. 

 The report is of good crops and good 

 quality. Prices are a trifle easier. 



Ben G. Russell, a farmer at Ord, 

 Neb., who has become a director in the 

 Henry Field Seed Co., plans shortly to 

 remove to Shenandoah, la., and devote 

 his time to the seed business. 



A. CURRIE, Jr., of Currie Bros. Co., 

 Milwaukee, was in Chicago last week. 

 He reports his house to be devoting much 

 more attention than heretofore to the 

 business to be done with florists, and well 

 pleased with the results. 



Although the pea canners are getting 

 a good pack, possibly slightly larger than 

 in 1906, it does not indicate a lessened 

 demand for seed peas for 1908, as the 

 market now is practically bare of canned 

 peas, whereas a year ago considerable old 

 stock was on hand. 



TEXANS TO HANDLE SEEDS.

 been organized at Sherman, Tex. The

13. In each case the firm of C. Keur & Son, 

 Hillegom, Holland, sued for the collec- 

 tion of sums claimed to be due for bulbs. 

 The defendants were Frank E. Bauers, 

 of South Brooklyn; Emil Heidenblut, of 

 Cleveland, and Henry Eickhoflf, of Cleve- 

 land, and the sum involved in the three 

 cases was $366.15. The florists offered 

 evidence to the effect that the bulbs were 

 received in bad shape, and the Holland 

 firm offered in evidence their business 

 terms as printed in their catalogue, from 

 which they alleged defendants ordered. 

 These terms provide: 



"QUAUTT. All the bulbs and plants, 

 sent out by us, represent full value. We 

 are in no way or in the least responsible 

 for a more or less satisfactory flowering 

 of the bulbs or plants supplied by us and 

 accepted by the purchaser; the flowering 

 generally being effected several months 

 after receipt of them by the purchaser 

 and depending on too many circumstances 

 out of our control. 



"Bisk and EESPONsraiUTT. All or- 

 ders intrusted to us travel at the expense 

 and risk of the purchaser, in other 

 words, all bulbs and plants are sold and
