 First Vice-pres., J. C. Robinson, Waterloo. Neb.; 

 Sec'y andTreas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. 



Once more the harvest season is at 

 hand. 



Turnip seed is in strong demand at 

 present. 



Michigan radish seed crops are doing 

 well, according to last reports. 



The onion set crop at Louisville prom- 

 ises to be equal to last year, and perhaps 

 better than it was last year. 



Reports generally from the pea grow- 

 ing sections indicate that fair crops of 

 all varieties will be harvested. 



Sweet peas for seed in England are 

 generally ripening a light crop because 

 of long continued dry weather. 



Traveling men in the seed line are 

 reporting good business. The outlook 

 for the coming year is very satisfactory. 



The stand of beans at most of the 

 growing points is reported fair and 

 weather conditions generally are good at 

 present. 



Seedsmen will be interested in the 

 note on "Sweet Peas in California" on 

 page 8 of this issue, and the illustration 

 on page 9. 



The favorable weather of the last 

 week in the vicinity of Chicago has 

 added much to the appearance of the 

 onion set crop. 



The general condition of vine crops is 

 reported to be backward, but the weather 

 has improved and the outlook is much 

 better than it has been. 



The Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago, 

 does so large a business in grass seeds 

 that a small item like a few carloads of 

 pop-corn, sold to the poppers, attracts 

 little attention. 



Onion seed fields in the vicinity of 

 Chicago give promise of large yields, and 

 reports from other central western sec- 

 tions bear out previous predictions that 

 this locality is well adapted for this crop. 



I. L. Hill, proprietor of Hill's Seed 

 Store, Phoenix, Ariz., has moved into a 

 new and larger building on North Center 

 street. He is putting in new fixtures 

 throughout and says the business of the 

 last season justifies a considerable in- 

 crease in his facilities. 



E. J. Sheap, of S. M. Isbell & Co., 

 Jackson, Mich., sends a decidedly favor- 

 able preliminary report as to the condi- 

 tion of pea crops; a good yield is indi- 

 cated. Radish also promises well so far. 

 Beans, cucumber, muskmelon and sweet 

 <'orn are not far enough advanced as yet 

 to judge, but are looking well.
