C. P. Coy, Waterloo, Neb., said Sep-

 watermelons and citrons are so near a 

 failure that the harvest will not equal 

 the seed planted. Squashes and pump- 

 kins are a rather light crop."

 also at home.

vailing in the wild rice fields. The de- 

 mand is unusually heavy and they say 

 they do not expect to be able to fill all 

 the orders they will receive. They re- 

 cently have issued a neat little booklet, 

 entitled "Wild Kice," which ought to 

 go some way toward moving the stock 

 in a good crop year. 



The creditors of the St. Louis Seed

 a large majority of the creditors have 

 accepted the company's offer to com-

 to go ahead with the reorganized busi-

LEONARDS BRANCH OUT. 



O. L. Daily, formerly the mimager of 

 the Canadian branch of the Cleveland 

 Seed Co., is now with the Leonard Seed 

 Co., Chicago. 



Mr. Daily, whose portrait appears 

 herewith, is one of the best posted men 

 on peas and beans in the country, having 

 had thirty-five years' continuous service 

 with the Cleveland Seed Co., first with 

 the elder Cleveland, who, with Mr. 

 Daily's help, worked up and put on 

 the market the Alaska pea; then, after 

 the father's death, with the son, A. B. 

 Cleveland, until he discontinued the seed 

 business, and up to June 1 of the present 

 year with the new Cleveland Seed Co. 



In the thirty-five years vdth the Cleve- 

 lands he had the growing, handling and 

 picking of many thousands of bushels of 

 choice stocks, and knows what such 

 stocks should be. No one knows what 

 an Alaska should be better than he, as 

 he helped originate it. Mr. Daily also 

 has to his credit the Eclipse or Surprise 

 pea, which he worked up from a single 

 pod found among some growing trials 

 at Picton. 



Mr. Daily has charge of the field work,

as well as the picking of stocks, for the 

 Leonard Seed Co., and has superyised 

 the roguing of seed stocks this summer 

 for them. 



In addition to acquiring the services 

 of Mr. Daily, it is understood that the 

 Leonard Seed Co. contemplates building 

 elevators and cleaning warehouses at all 

 of their large growing stations, and are 

 already at work at two points. 



MICHIGAN PEA AND BEAN CROPS. 



W. H. Grenell, Saginaw, Mich., wrote 

 September 11 : " We had a rainy spring 

 and the driest summer I ever experienced, 

 so that the pea crop is short; it will not 

 average over fifty per cent. The in- 

 clement weather has, of course, also 

 affected the bean crop. Until recently 

 the prospect was for a fair crop, but two 

 heavy frosts have killed a good many
