Dutch seed houses report a fair pros- 

 pect for a crop of spinach seed, but, like 

 all other crops, it is late. 



The crop of Swedes for seeds in Hol- 

 land is almost a failure this season be- 

 cause of winter conditions. 



There is a rapidly growing demand 

 for seeds of perennials and several Amer- 

 ican seed houses now carry quite com- 

 pre beuHi ye Htutks ' uf them. 



The striking catalogue covers used 

 by A. T. Boddington, New York, are 

 designed by H. A. Bunyard, who has 

 proved himself an artist in several other 

 ways besides selling goods on the road. 



Reports from the bean fields show no 

 great improvement over the reports of 

 a week ago. In many places things do 

 not look as bright as they did and a 

 light bean crop is likely to be the rule. 



A WELL-iNPOEMED grower says that all 

 varieties of wrinkled peas will be short, 

 and that the later tall growing sorts will 

 be just as scarce as the dwarf growing 

 and canners' varieties. 



H. Frank Darrow, the well-known 

 importer of seeds and bulbs, sailed for 

 New York on the Deutschland, from 

 Hamburg, August 15, after visiting the 

 various foreign firms for which he is 

 American agent. 



The seed-growing firm of Comstock, 

 Ferre & Co., Wethersfield, Conn,, was 

 established in 1830 and incorporated 

 twenty-two years later. The present offi- 

 cers are: President and treasurer, 

 Stephen F. Willard; secretary, Edward 

 G. Fox. 



In the vicinity of Chicago the truck- 

 ers report a disease on the tomato vines, 

 which will cut down the crop considera- 

 bly. Two weeks ago it lookeu as though 

 an immense crop of tomatoes would be 

 harvested here, but this blight of vine, 

 or whatever it is, will make the yield of 

 fruit small. 



Some few lots of Alaska peas have 

 been received from farmers at the mill- 

 ing plants of the growing stations and 

 the reports are that they about meet ex- 

 pectations. These particular lots show 

 the samples to be fairly good and no 

 excessive shrinkage is expected in the mill- 

 ing and hand-picking. 



At Chicago the onion set harvest is 

 still utider way. It is likely to be two 

 weeks yet before the crop is all out of 

 the ground. Many of the growers have 

 held back, thinking that an additional 

 week would give a larger quantity of 

 bushels, but the gain will not be much 

 and it looks as though the crop here will 

 be much less than the estimates of two 

 weeks ago.
