Peas of the canners' varieties are not 

 made to seem any the more plentiful by 

 later reports. 



The board of directors of the "Whole- 

 sale Seedsmen's League was in session 

 at New York October 22. 



Visited Chicago: William T. Emer- 

 son, of the Western Seed and Irrigation 

 Co., Fremont, Neb;; A. Mangelsdorf, of 

 Mangelsdorf Bros. & Co., Atcnison, Kan. 



It is reported that certain seed grow- 

 ers and wholesale seedsmen have indi- 

 cated a willingness to chip in to help 

 some reputable seedsman test the consti- 

 tutionality of the new Wisconsin seed 

 law. 



J. Otto Thilow, secretary of the 

 Henry A. Dreer corporation, Philadel- 

 phia, and J. D. Eisele, vice-presiuent 

 and manager of the greenhouses and 

 nursery at Eiverton, N. J., returned Oc- 

 tober 19, from a month's trip to Eu- 

 rope. 



Egbert Livingston, of the Livingston 

 Seed Co., Columbus, O., has a new core- 

 less tomato of which he thinks highly. 

 He was in Chicago last week with a pho- 

 tograph of a specimen and expects to 

 oflPer seed to the trade this fall, for their 

 1908 novelty lists. 



The Corn Exposition at Chicago closed 

 October 19, with the promoters so well 

 satisfied with the results that already it 

 is announced the show will be given next 

 year on an even larger scale. The paid 

 admissions numbered 60,000, but there 

 was a deficit of some $20,000. 



Near Chicago there are several lots of 

 asters for seed that are occasioning the 

 owners much concern. One grower who 

 figures on realizing $2,000 for his crop 

 of seed says it took the plants a moAth 

 longer than usual to come into full 

 bloom and that the seed is late in ripen- 

 ing. 



The Everett B. Clark Seed Co., Mil- 

 ford, Conn., reports having just com- 

 pleted cleaning what it believes to be 

 the largest crop of onion seed ever pro-, 

 duced on one farm in the New England 

 states— 10,500 pounds. F. M. Clark 

 says: "This is, however, after several 

 years of disappointing crops." 



W. Atlee Buepee will give a dinner 

 at the Union League Club, Philadelphia, 

 Saturday evening, October 26, in honor 

 of Postmaster-General George von L. 

 Meyer and for discussion of parcels post, 

 postal savings banks and other subjects 

 in the line of postal advance. A num- 

 ber of seedsmen are among the guests 

 Mr. Burpee has bidden to be present. 



Samples of this year's crop of Refu- 

 gee and other late maturing beans will 

 ^ow a large per cent of undeveloped 

 eolor and for this reason will be thought 

 inferior by the majority of the smaller 

 dealers, who go by the appearance of 

 the sample. These light-colored beans, 

 although they spoil the appearance of 

 the sample, will make about as good a 

 crop as the well-colored article, as ex- 

 perience has frequently shown.

The Kirkeby & Gundestrup Seed Co., 

 Chicago, has been incorporated witn 

 $50,000 authorized capital stock. The 

 incorporators are Marius Kirkeby, Knud 

 Gundestrup and Olaf E. Ray. 



Out of town onion set dealers are still 

 canvassing the vicinity of Chicago, mak- 

 ing efforts to secure in person car lots 

 or less of a good merchantable article at 

 a shade or two lower price than quota- 

 tion sent to them by mail. 



IN VISCONSIN. 



The potato crop in the vicinity of 

 Clinton is light and the grain crop gen- 

 erally is rather poor. Corn has been cut 

 short by the frost and there will not 

 be much good, hard corn in this section. 



The new seed law passed at the last 

 session of the Wisconsin legislature, re- 

 quiring all seeds offered for sale in the 

 state to be stamped with percentage of 

 purity and year of growth, is causing 

 some consternation among seedsmen, as 

 the law is impracticable in the shape 

 passed and can hardly be lived up to, 

 at any rate so far as garden seeds are 

 eoncerned. L. L. Olds. 



CORN IN OHIO. 



Healy Bros., of Belle Center, O., write 

 as follows under date of October 15: 



' ' We have had all the radical extremes 

 in the weather line this season — wet, 

 cold, and later in the season a long 

 drought — truly a freaky growing season 

 and one of guesswork with us; it has 

 kept us guessing as to what would come 

 next.

five per cent of a normal crop on late 

 sugar corns, seventy-five per cent on 

 early and medium sorts, sixty per cent 

 on flints, and seventy-five per cent on 

 dents and popcorns. The redeeming 

 feature of the season is tbe excellent 

 quality of stock and the ideal curing 

 weather we have had for the last foui 

 weeks.

 We have a large acreage and the bulbs 

 are uniform in size."
