"Welcome rains are falling. 



The quality of French bulbs is re- 

 ported excellent. 



CALiroENiA growers are not in as cheer- 

 ful mood as is their wont. 



The last boat from France brought 

 8,650 bags of beans and 300 bags of 

 peas. 



Joseph Steckler, the New Orleans 

 seedsman, has welcomed another boy into 

 his family. 



The Jerome B. Eice Seed Co., Cam- 

 bridge, N. Y., is establishing a branch 

 warehouse at Buckley, Mich. 



George C. Baker, of the Iowa Seed 

 Co., Des Moines, is in the hospital for 

 an operation for appendicitis. 



The St, Louis Seed Co., St. Louis, of- 

 fers to settle with creditors on the basis 

 of SZYs cents on the dollar. 



W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, states 

 that it has made 100 per cent delivery on 

 all import qrders for Harrisii bulbs. 



The Stoecker Seed Co., Peoria, is of- 

 fering to let seed buyers subscribe to its 

 capital stock, shares being of $10 par 

 value. 



The acreage of mangels for seed pur- 

 poses is steadily on the increase in Hol- 

 land and the crop this year is reported 

 in first-class condition. 



According to a Bradstreet's report 

 of trade conditions in Virginia, the 

 wholesale seedsmen at Richmond have 

 just completed the best season in their 

 history. 



The seed trade will learn with deep 

 regret of the death of W. W. Eawson, of 

 Boston, which occurred August 9. A 

 portrait and brief account of his career 

 appear on another page of this issue. 



Timothy seed was easier at Chicago 

 August 10. September sold at $3.75 and 

 October was offered at $3.75; country 

 lots, $3.25@4. Clover seed declined 50c, 

 October closing at $13.75 and cash lots 

 $8@17. 



The government crop report made pub- 

 lic August 7 was better than general 

 news had led to expect, especially as to 

 com, the condition of the general crop 

 being also much better than reports as to 

 western crops of seed corn would seem 

 to indicate. The government gives tfie 

 condition of corn August 1 as 82.5, as 

 against 82.8 a year ago, and 83.1 as the 

 ten-year average, and 82.8 July 1. Wheat 

 does not make so good a showing in the 

 government report, its condition having 

 declined from 89.4 July 1 to 80.7 August 

 1; ten-year average, 82.7.
