Countess Spencer and its kindred types 

 may, however, prevent their general use, 

 and the standard forms will always be 

 in demand and we shall continue to work 

 with them as well as with the new 

 Spencer types." 



The pamphlet contains classificatiouB 

 by form and color, with descriptions of 

 some 275 named varieties and several 

 lists of preferences. It is a volume of 

 great value to the seed trade.

REAPPEAISEMENT. 



The Board of United States General 

 Appraisers at New York gave notice 

 October 5 of the following reappraise- 

 ment: 



Bulbs. — From C. J. Speelman & Sons, Sassen- 

 helm, exported Aug. 16, 1907; entered at New 

 York. File No. 46519. Invoice No. 30845. 

 FlndlngB of Sbarretts, G. A.: Single tulips, 

 various colors; entered at 2.50, advanced to 

 8.60 U. S. dollars per 1000. Double, ditto; 

 entered at 3, advanced to 4 U. S. dollars per 

 1000. Add cases and packing. Cash discount 

 8 per cent. 



PEAS AND BEANS. 



Although the spring was late and de- 

 layed sowing, and a dry summer fol- 

 lowed, we had a very satisfactory yield 

 on early varieties of peas, giving us sur- 

 pluses on Alaskas, Wonders, Premium 

 Gems and Nott's Excelsiors, while Ad- 

 vancers, Horsford's Market Garden and 

 later sorts are very short with us. 



The continued dry weather shortened 

 the bean crop and during harvest we 

 have had so much rain that the sample 

 ■will not be as good as we erpected, re- 

 quiring more work in hand-picking. A 

 month ago we expected to be able to 

 fill our orders on beans in full, but now 

 find we vrill be short twenty-five to fifty 

 per cent on quite a number of kinds.

CALIFORNIA CROP REPORT. 



Writing as to conditions in the Santa 

 Clara valley September 30, Lester L. 

 Morse, of C. C. Morse & Co., said: 



"In regard to crops, the late planted 

 pieces, which are now being harvested, 

 are turning out much shorter than we 

 anticipated. 



"Onion seed is considerably less than 

 we figured a month ago, and personally 

 we are going to have very little onion 

 seed left after filling our autumn or- 

 den. 



"Onion bulbs remain high, which will 

 probably materially affect planting for 

 the 1908 crop. 



"We have been able to do our har- 

 vesting and shipping much earlier than 

 usual and within two weeks will be ready 

 for our early rains." 



LONGIFLORUMS. 



To what extraordinary dimensions the 

 Japan bulb business has attained may 

 be shown by a few interesting figures, 

 as follows:
