Alaska peas of the 1909 crop will not 

 go begging. 



Visited New Yoek: Mr. Weise, rep- 

 resenting David Sachs, Quedlinburg, Ger- 

 many; Clarence Moore, Philadelphia. 



Chaeles N. Page, of the Iowa Seed 

 Co., Des Moines, with Mrs. Page, is in 

 the California seed growing district, 

 after a visit Iq the exposition at Seattle. 



Crops of beans in Michigan are look- 

 ing well but need rain. It is almost 

 impossible to make any estimate on pea 

 crops. Some are good and some are bad. 



The Chesmore-Eastlake Mercantile Co., 

 of St. Joseph, Mo., received July 28, 

 from Hamburg, Germany, a shipment of 

 357 bags of alfalfa seed, weighing 55,000 

 pounds. 



The Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, has 

 a non-warranty suit on its hands, started 

 July 24. A. A. Geil claims the seed was 

 not the clover he ordered, in 1908, and 

 that he thereby lost the crop on seven 

 acres. 



"Word comes from Holland that this 

 year, on account of the long winter, the 

 work in the bulb district is so much be- 

 hind that the bulb exports will begin at 

 least one and a half or two weeks later 

 than usual. 



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

 Johnson & Son, Ltd., Boston, England, 

 is at the Hotel Imperial, New York city, 

 which will be his permanent address until 

 September 29, on which date he sails for 

 England. In the meantime he intends to 

 visit the seed trade in the principal cities. 



On a recent Saturday a party of more 

 than fifty British seedsmen and members 

 of the National Sweet Pea Society vis- 

 ited the seed farms of Cooper, Taber & 

 Co., at Witham; Wm. Deal, Kelvedon, 

 and E. W. King & Co., Coggeshall, where 

 sweet peas are a feature. 



A. J. Pieters, of Hollister, Cal., has 

 issued a circular letter in defense of the 

 ofScials of the Department of Agricul- 

 ture who have charge of the congres- 

 sional seed distribution. The Eeview 

 never has printed anything criticising 

 the men whose duty it is to execute this 

 behest of Congress and subscribes to all 

 Mr. Pieters has to say of their per- 

 sonal worth.

Reports from the pea and bean sec- 

 tion this week are no improvement over a 

 week ago. 



No blight has been reported as yet on 

 the onion seed fields of the central states. 

 A. good crop may therefore be expected. 



Some blight is reported from the Mich- 

 igan cucumber seed sections and the har- 

 vest will likely show a falling off on ac- 

 count of it. 



A Chicago visitor this week is Otto 

 Herold, of the Ontario Seed Co., Water- 

 loo, Ont., who is visiting the principal 

 seed sections getting a line on the latest 

 ideas on this side of the border. 



The new tariff law goes into effect 

 right in the midst of the season for the 

 arrival of French bulbs, but before any 

 of the Dutch stock has reached this 

 country. 



The Chicago onion set crop is showing 

 up better this week. The article being 

 harvested is for the most part choice as 

 to quality and so far the weather for 

 pulling has been excellent. More than an 

 average crop will, on the whole, be har- 

 vested, although some of the largest oper- 

 ators will harvest less than sixty per cent 

 of what they seeded for. The smaller 

 patches are the ones that will bring up 

 the total. The onion set machine spoken 

 of in last week's Review showed up well
