 moved May II to its new building at 

 Bandolpb street and Gratiot avenue. 



Walter Mott, who has been with A. 

 T. Boddington, New York, has taken the 

 management of the Yuesa Gardens Co., 

 Newburg, N. Y. 



F. H. Henry, assignee of Clucas & 

 Boddington Co., New York, has sent out 

 a notice to creditors that he will, June 

 24, ask the court to approve the final 

 settlement of the assignee 's account. 



Beportb from the marsh onion fields 

 of the. different states are to the effect 

 that about the usual quantity of seed is 

 going into the ground, and that for the 

 most part seeding is finished and in 

 many locations a fair stand is now show- 

 ing. 



The market gardeners of the central 

 west are beginning to complain about 

 the weather. Crops of radishes and 

 spinach that ought to be ready for mar- 

 ket by the end of May will hardly come 

 in until well into June. This means quite 

 a loss in a money way to them. 



W. Atlee Burpee, who, with Alex B. 

 Scott, is in Europe, cables that Alex 

 Dickson & Sons have won their case at 

 law to restrain other parties from making 

 use of the name of Dickson in such a 

 way as to create confusion in the minds 

 of the buyers. An injunction has been 

 granted and the costs put on the defend- 

 ant. 



Quite a quantity of bulbs have been 

 set out for an onion seed crop in 

 the central west sections. The majority 

 of the smaller onion growers have 

 patches large enough to give them a suf- 

 ficient supply of seed for next year if 

 it does well. Quite a number of the 

 larger growers are also aiming to har- 

 vest their own seed in 1908. When a 

 start is once made it seems that there 

 is no limit to it. This condition of 

 things will have an effect on the price 

 of onion seed and will help the Califor- 

 nia growers to make better deliveries, in 

 all probability.

The weather at Chicago is still un- 

 favorable for seeding and the onion set 

 men who still h'Jive large acreages to 

 seed are getting on the anxious seat. 



The pickle men are preparing to put 

 out large acreages of the pickling va- 

 rieties of cucumbers this year. The vats 

 at the salting stations are said to be 

 lower than for some years and a good 

 harvest of pickling cucumoers in 1908 is 

 a necessity from the pickle man's stand- 

 point. 



The bean growers find it difficult to 

 get farmers to take on acreages of gar- 

 den beans, because of the high market 

 value of the navy variety. The farmer 

 claims that the white navy bean is a 

 better producer than any of the garden 

 varieties and that less care is needed to 

 put it in marketable shape.

The weather over a large part of the 

 country thus far in May has been un- 

 favorable for the seed business. There* 

 has been so much rain that planting has 

 progressed slowly and trade in all lines 

 has thereby been greatly reduced. The 

 season in the east is nearer the end than
