Tomatoes are doing very poorly. 



Peas have been harvested and most 

 varieties have given fair results. 



Sweet corn is coming along fairly 

 well, but in the west will hardly recover 

 from the early setback. 



The last boat from Portugal brought 

 nine cases of Azores Harrisii bulbs for 

 Henry & Lee, New York, and twp for 

 Victor Mordeno. 



C. C. MOBSE & Co., San Francisco, will 

 ' put on the market this year a number 

 of their selections of sweet peas of the 

 Countess Spencer type. 



The Harrisii bulbs are practically all 

 in, the boat from Bermuda which reached 

 New York August 21 having but fifty- 

 four cases, consigned to customs house 

 brokers. 



J. H. Ford, of Kavenna, O., who was 

 at one time assistant secretary of the 

 American Seed Trade Association, is the 

 prohibition cajididate for state treas- 

 urer in Ohio at the November election. 



A REPORT has been received from Hol- 

 land that the Dutch bulb crop has turned 

 out twenty per cent short, but the gen- 

 eral understanding is that the orders 

 booked are a good deal shorter than that 

 if compared with last year. 



SEED CONVENTION REPORT. 



Secretary Kendel, of the American 

 Seed Trade Association, has issued the 

 annual volume published by that organi- 

 zation, considerably enlarged, for in ad- 

 dition to the proceedings of the Detroit 

 convention it contains the topical index 

 to the reports for the years 1883 to 1907 

 and the proceedings of the congress of 

 horticulture held at Jamestown in 1907. 

 The cover carries the subjoined: 



The following resolution was passed at 

 the Detroit convention and ordered print- 

 ed separately: 



Besolved, That this association dis- 

 countenances all indefiniteness in the use 

 of a disclaimer, and urges all loyal mem- 

 bers to stand by the ofScial disclaimer 

 adopted by the association, and by so 

 doing strengthen the position of each 

 and strengthen all; and that we urge 

 the use of this disclaimer on all letter- 

 heads, bill-heads, contracts, catalogues, 

 seed bags, order sheets, labels, tags and 

 other printed matter, as well as framed 

 store cards. 



Should some members desire further 

 conditions to those stated on this dis- 

 claimer, we nevertheless urge that for 

 the first section of their printed dis- 

 claimer they use the official wording, viz.: 



"We give no warranty, express or im- 

 plied, as to description, quality, produc-

GERMAN SEED CROPS. 



In general the seed crops in the Qued- 

 linburg district of Germany are described 

 as "middling." A cold, damp spring 

 caused a weak germination and July 

 was hot and dry. The acreage in many 

 instances was smaller than usual and 

 not many vegetables or farm seeds, ex- 

 cept sugar beet, promise good crops. 

 Spinach yielded fairly well. The same 

 factors affected the yield of flower seeds. 

 Asters, stocks, mignonettes, nasturtiums,
