C. W. Grossman, of Grossman Bros., 

 Eochester, N. Y., will spend the latter 

 half of July on his annual recreative trip. 



H. C. Geeen, Kearney, Neb., reports 

 three days of fine rain, without hail or 

 wind, aiid seed crops in excellent shape. 



Frank B. White, of White 's Class Ad- 

 vertising Co., has decided to ally his busi- 

 ness with that of some other advertising 

 agency. 



W. W. Barnard, Chicago, is convalesc- 

 ing from his recent illness, but it will be 

 some time before he will be able to attend 

 to business. 



The C. W. Gurney Seed Co., Yank- 

 ton, S. D., has begun work on a new 

 warehouse, 72x76 feet, two stories and 

 basement, of brick and concrete. They 

 expect to move in October 1. 



Charles Heath, of the Albert Dickin- 

 son Co., says the bean is the national 

 vegetable of America and points to the 

 fact of the large importations that show 

 the demand is not met by the home pro- 

 duction. For instance, the last boat from 

 Marseilles, France, had on board 9,186 

 bags of beans. 



As of interest to the seed trade it may 

 be noted that in Indiana the yield of peas 

 per acre, as grown by the canners, has 

 been below the normal. The packing sea- 

 son there is ended, the output being esti- 

 mated by the Grafton Johnson Canneries 

 at Greenwood as being fifty-five cases per 

 acre, as against the normal output of 

 eighty cases per acre. 



W. Atlee Burpee, Philadelphia, ac- 

 companied by Mrs. Burpee and their two 

 sons, David and W. Atlee, Jr., sailed 

 from New York July 10 to spend six 

 weeks in England and on the continent. 

 One of Mr. Burpee's chief missions is to 

 let the novelty seekers know about four 

 new Spencer sweet peas Burpee & Co. 

 will introduce in 1910. 



Councillor Fritz von Dippe, the Qued- 

 linburg seedsman, on the recent occasion 

 of his silver wedding, founded a fund 

 with 50,000 marks, the interest of which 

 sum is to be distributed among needy 

 widows of ofiicials, assistants, and work- 

 men in the service of the firm of Dippe 

 Bros., at Quedlinburg; and a sum of 

 10,000 marks for the worthy poor of that 

 town.

The government crop statisticians have 

 figured out that the condition of onions

DoBBiE & Co., Eothesay, Scotland, one 

 of the largest of British seed growers, of 

 which W. Cuthbertson, president of the 

 National Sweet Pea Society, is senior 

 partner, are about to remove headquar- 

 ters to Edinburgh. 



Few seedsmen in this country make 

 any effort to secure the advertising ad- 

 vantages at the big fairs, but in Eng- 

 land the seedsmen's exhibits are a fea- 

 ture of such exhibitions as those of the 

 Royal Agricultural Society. 



Reports from Michigan and Wisconsin 

 as to the progress of the pea crop indi- 

 cate a wide difference of opinion as to 

 the probable yield in the several locali- 

 ties. In some places a full crop is prom- 

 ised, while in others it is said the yield 

 will be below the normal.

 the grain and seed business of Crum-
