acreage is small compared with former 

 years. Pumpkin and squash are fair 

 stands and in good growing condition. 

 Some of these crops have been damaged 

 by ground squirrels and striped beetles. 



' ' We had heavy rains during the latter 

 part of June and the first part of July, 

 and some of the crops are a little weedy, 

 but otherwise most of them are in good 

 growing condition, and with favorable 

 conditions the balance of the season we 

 hope to make good deliveries."

THE CLARINDA SEED SHOP. 



Not many people know it, but W. C. 

 Brown, president of the New York Cen- 

 tral railroad, • is a seedsman ; he is a 

 stockholder in the A. A. Berry Seed Co., 

 Clarinda, la., and attended its annual 

 meeting, held in its oflBces July 13. The 

 report of the business then presented 

 showed the season of 1909 to have given 

 an increase of thirty-five per cent over 

 any season since the business was incor- 

 porated. The officers are: President, 

 A. A. Berry; vice-president, George W. 

 Standage; secretary, J. F. Sinn; treas- 

 urer, A. F. Galloway. 



Last season A. A. Berry determined 

 to go into onion sets and this spring he 

 put in quite an acreage at Clarinda and 

 also at Council Bluffs. The continued 

 wet weather through June and the first 

 part of July seriously affected the crops, 

 at both places, but especially the Clarin- 

 da fields. Harvesting has been begun 

 and the yield is much below the average. 



BURPEE'S NEW SPENCER PEAS. 



Since W. Atlee Burpee mailed their 

 circular, dated July 15, offering seeds of 

 new sweet peas, they liave been advised 

 by telegraph by the growers in California 

 that the crops of Othello Spencer and 

 Aurora Spencer were turning out much 

 shorter than was expected when Mr. Bur- 

 pee, his sons and Howard Earl visited the 

 valley in June; they therefore have with- 

 drawn their offer of these varieties in 

 bulk. 



The quartette of Burpee Spencer nov- 

 elties this year will consist of Mariam 

 Beaver, a distinct new color, approaching 

 terra cotta; W. T. Hutchins, light apri- 

 cot; Prince of Wales Spencer, rose-car- 

 mine; Senator Spencer, a varying combi- 

 nation of deep claret and chocolate, 

 striped and flaked on a ground of light 

 heliotrope. These four and the 1908 

 vaiieties, Othello Spencer and Aurora 

 Spencer, are being offered simultaneously 

 to the trade in England and America, in 

 packets only. Mr. Burpee is personally 

 looking after the English end. 



LEONARD'S TRIAL GROUND. 



The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, has a 

 trial ground at Columbus, Wis., about 

 which the local newspaper says: 



"Farmers and all those interested in 

 growing plants and seeds should not fail
