How much space are you giving in 

 your 1908 catalogue to cuts of "your 

 not-for-sale face, your hardly-for-sale 

 buildings," or your much coveted office 

 and sales force? 



There is genuine alarm as to the 

 situation in sugar corns, but while late 

 sorts are undeniably scarce, it is to be 

 remembered that it always is darkest 

 just before dawn. 



The U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture has figured out that the yield of 

 corn this year is twenty-six bushels per 

 acre, as against 30.3 last year, and a 

 ten-year average of 25.4. 



Seedsmen not only have this season 

 to contend with short crops and high 

 prices, but short supplies of money and 

 high interest rates for carrying them to 

 the time of turning the seeds into cash. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 shows that in 1906 the United States 

 imported 872,566 bushels of onions, 

 338,752 bushels of which came from 

 England or its possessions, 205,121 

 bushels from Bermuda and 202,637 

 bushels from Spain. 



Charles P. Guelf, of Jerome B. Eice 

 Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y., is visiting 

 Chicago. He makes his headquarters at 

 present at Columbus, O., and says that 

 from his point of view it looks as 

 though there will be pyrotechnics a 

 little later in onion and sweet corn. 



C. S. Clark, Wakeman, O., makes a 

 dismal report. "I very much regret to 

 inform you," he writes, "that the late 

 varieties for seed refuse to dry. Stow- 

 ell's Evergreen and all late sorts are no 

 drier than they were a month ago, due 

 to cold, wet weather and an unmatured 

 cob." 



The United States Department of Ag- 

 riculture has issued a bulletin on 

 "Eoselle: Its Culture and Uses." The 

 plant is an annual and the bulletin rec- 

 ommends it as a commercial crop for 

 jam or jellies, and as a substitute for 

 cranberry sauce. Only the fleshy calyxes 

 surrounding the seedpod are used for this 

 purpose. Botanically the plant is Hibis- 

 cus sabdariffe. Southern seedsmen will 

 be interested.
