Watkins & Simpson, London, have a

Melzee's Seed Store, "Watertown, 

 Wis., has been in business over thirty 

 years and this season advertises: "We 

 comply in all instances with the Wiscon- 

 sin seed law." 



The pea crops stand fairly well, ac- 

 cording to reports, but the land is wet 

 and cold, so much so as to keep the crops 

 back, and it is feared that some rotting 

 may upset some of the former calcula- 

 tions. 



The onion bulbs set out to make seed 

 have so far stood the weather better 

 than almost any other crops. This is 

 about the first crop that could be gotten 

 into the soil in the central western sec- 

 tions and the early start has put it all 

 to the good.

The H. E. Fiske Seed Co., Boston, 

 suffered a loss of from $1,000 to $1,500 

 by fire May 16 and had a narrow escape 

 from a still greater disaster at a season 

 when business is still heavy. The firemen 

 liad a hard fight to confine the flames to 

 the top floor. It will be remembered that 

 the Fiske Co. occupies the building in 

 which W. W. Eawson & Co. were burned 

 out just at the opening of the season 

 two years ago. 



The Nursery and Seed Trade Associa- 

 tion of Great Britain finds the handling 

 of credits and collections one of its prin- 

 cipal fields of usefulness. In the last 

 year its secretary answered 870 inquiries 

 as to credits and collected accounts, 

 amounting to over $27,500, principally 

 in small sums, after the members had 

 failed to obtain payment through their 

 own efforts. At the recent annual meet- 

 ing N. N. Sherwood, of Hurst & Son, 

 was reelected president.

The season vraa cold in Holland bulb 

 fields and it was not until the first week 

 in May that the early tulips were in full 

 bloom. The blooming was excellent, all 

 crops having come through the winter 

 in fine shape. 



F. W. Bruggerhop, of J. M. Thorbum 

 & Co., and Captain Burnet Landreth, of 

 the D. Landreth Seed Co., started May 

 16 for an all-round visit among the seed 

 growing establishments of the Pacific 

 coast. They will be absent about seven 

 weeks. 



The Buckbee non-warranty case is 

 still pending in the United States court 

 at Freeport, HI., and it is likely to be 

 quite some time before the issue will be 

 tried out, but the "disclaimer" is hav- 

 ing a test in another middle western 

 state this week. 



The stock of lily of the valley pips 

 in storage gives every indication of ex- 

 ceeding the season's demand and import- 

 ers are anxious to sell, while not inter- 

 ested, as in recent years, in securing an 

 increased supply for next season. Orders 

 placed in Germany to date are reported 

 to be considerably reduced as compared 

 with last year.
