CAULIFLOWERS. 



The accompanying illustration is 

 from a photograph of a field of cauli- 

 flowers growing for seed purposes on 

 the Island of Anikger, near Copenhagen, 

 which has been known for fifty years as 

 the cauliflower center of the northern 

 part of Europe.

 Inspecting California. Seed Crops in June. 



Those who bad a surplus of longi- 

 florums of last year's crop, and stored 

 them, have not yet succeeded in cleaning 

 up, but the reported shortage in larger 

 sizes of pure Harrisii gives them re- 

 newed hope of an early maiket. 



H. A. BUNTAKD, with A. T. Bodding- 

 ton, New York, states that his firm has 

 been advised to expect not over fifty per 

 cent total delivery of 7 to 9 and 9 to 11 

 pure Harrisu; 5 to 7, Boddington's 

 growers in Bermuda say, will be deliv- 

 ered in full. 



D 'Alcorn & Sons, Portsmouth, Va., 

 have received an order to ship 100,000 

 bulbs to Holland! We think this augurs 

 well for American grown bulbs, espe- 

 cially as many tons are also being 

 shipped from this country to Guernsey 

 and England, in spite of the freight 

 being $25 per ton. 



The Stoecker Seed Co., Peoria, HI., 

 has been incorporated by L. F. Stoecker, 

 K. Stoecker, N. W. Stoecker and Ernie 

 Nuzicker, with $30,000 authorized cap- 

 ital stock. L. F. Stoecker has been the 

 head of the Weber Seed Co. for the last 

 six years. A general wholesale and re- 

 tail business will be transacted at the 

 old Weber headquarters, 117 south 

 Washington street. 



There are varying reports as to the 

 condition of corn in Nebraska, some say- 

 ing it is fine and others poor. An ob- 

 server who crossed the state says the 

 general condition is fair, some fields 

 being good and others spotty — too much 

 rain for the low lands — and the crop on 

 the average not as far along as it should 



dale road. The Messrs. Shelton intend 

 to enlarge their plant-growing depart- 

 ment, and on the newly acquired proper- 

 ty will erect a range of glass for that 

 purpose. They expect also to devote 

 some space to the growing of ornamental 

 nursery stock. 



ST. LOUIS SEED CO. AFFAIRS. 



July 24 a petition in involuntary bank- 

 ruptcy was filed at St. Louis against 

 the St. Louis Seed Co., by the follow- 

 ing creditors: 



H. W. Raster & Son Adv. Agency |997.00 



Manewal-Lang Co 6.98 



Wltte Hardware Co 63.46 



It was alleged that the St. Louis 

 Seed Co. had committed an act of bank- 

 ruptcy by the payment of a claim of 

 $2,500 held by the Merchants' National 

 Bank. The store is open for business as 

 usual and the following letter, sent out 

 over the signature of W. F. Nichol, presi- 

 dent, sets forth the company's position: 



It becomes the painful duty of the board of 

 directors of the St. Louis Seed Co. to notify 

 each and every one of its creditors that a peti- 

 tion in bankruptcy was filed against the com-
