Thb season has been one of too much 

 rain at the start, and too little later. 



The Review is glad to hear from 

 seedsmen with news items for this 

 column. 



The Henry F. Michell Co., Philadel- 

 phia, is establishing a trial ground and 

 seed farm at Torresdale, Pa. 



Nothing definite can be said about 

 the bean crop, but at present the outlook 

 for a good harvest is not encouraging. 



Things are quiet in the seed trade just 

 now; many are on vacation and little is 

 doing in a business way. Eain is wanted. 



C. H.-MacKubbin, of Henry A. Dreer, 

 is on his annual vacation, before taking 

 up in earnest the work of preparing for 

 the new season. 



E. J. Deal, general manager of W. W. 

 Johnson & Son, Ltd., Boston, England, 

 sails from Liverpool Saturday, July 31, 

 for a visit to the seed trade in this coun- 

 try. 



It is reported that the season in the 

 seed growing districts in England was 

 from two to three weeks behind, but that 

 good progress has been made during the 

 present month. 



Reports from California are to the 

 effect that the hot wave which swept 

 over the Santa Clara valley about June 

 23 cut down the sweet pea crop below 

 previous estimates. 



The medium ripening peas are the 

 kinds that will suffer most from the lack 

 of seasonable rains. The earlies were 

 far enough along before the drought 

 came, and it is hoped that rain will come 

 in time to save the later crops. 



Advices from Wisconsin continue to 

 reflect a strong probability of a short- 

 age of the earlier varieties of peas; 

 some of the packers say the yield of 

 these sorts at the canning stage was nor 

 much more than half the normal. 



The Italian government has presented 

 Augustus H. Goodwin, vice-president of 

 the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, and 

 Mrs. Goodwin with a gold medal in ac- 

 knowledgment of valuable services in 

 organizing the first American Aid Society 

 in Palermo the day after the Messina 

 earthquake.

The radish seed crops of Michigan 

 needed rain at last accounts; otherwise 

 conditions were all that could be desired. 



Onion seed patches in the central west 

 are said to be doing well and, if a blight 

 does not strike them, the harvest will be 

 satisfactory. 



Continued dry weather at Chicago will 

 lessen the onion set crop considerably. 

 It may also cause necks in the late-seeded 

 plantations. 



The T. Lee Adams Seed Co., Kansas 

 City, has been incorporated, with $15,000 

 capital stock, by T. Lee Adams, H. C. 

 Luck and Steward Taylor. 



The pea canners in general are com- 

 plaining that their pack will be much 

 shortened on account of uneven ripening. 

 The weather is to blame for this condi- 

 tion, they say. 



A new machine for the harvesting of 

 onion sets is to be on exhibition July 28 

 at South liolland, 111. If it will surely 

 harvest this crop properly the inventor 

 will make good. Set growers, however, 

 are skeptical about its working well. 



The body of C. Willard Smith, of 

 the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, who was 

 drowned in Lake Michigan near the Chi- 

 cago Beach Hotel, July 18, was washed 

 ashore near Gary, Ind., July 23, and 

 remained unidentified for four days, 

 when A. H. Smith, office manager of the 

 Leonard Seed Co., was notified.
