; Pansy seed is selling well, and the 

 trade regrets to hear that the cpp in 

 Germany is below the average. 



The dry season will neither increase 

 the quantity nor improve the quality^f 

 the American-grown aster seed. „^, 



A. Eddy, 75 years of age, and for 

 thirty years a ^rass seed dealer on the 

 Chicago Board of Trade, died August 9. 



While the "Western Seed and Irriga- 

 tion Co., Fremont, Neb., was fumigating 

 a warehouse August 1 a passerby turned 

 in a fire alarm and the employees had 

 the assistance of the entire fire depart- 

 ment. 



D. J. Tamminga, one of the onion set 

 growers south of Chicago, August 10 

 said that "the crop is a fair one, some 

 fields very good, but the late sowings do 

 not amount to much. I doubt if there be 

 more sets harvested in this vicinity than 

 last year. There already is a good de- 

 mand." ' ?-*.* 



Readers of the Review have been kept 

 fully and promptly informed throughout 

 the progress of the tariff bill that became 

 law August 5, and which gave the seed 

 trade the much wanted specific duties. 

 A.t practically every stage of the bill's 

 long journey through Congress the Re- 

 iTiEW has been a week ahead of all other 

 sources of information with its reports 

 on the status of the paragraphs affecting 

 the seed trade. 



The increase in the call for sweet pea 

 seed of the winter-flowering varieties is 

 attracting the attention of all seedsmen 

 who cater to the florists' trade. Since 

 Zvolanek made the sweet pea an almost 

 all-the-year-around flower, it has become 

 one of the important crops under glass. 

 Last winter the production of sweet pea 

 blooms was almost everywhere heavier 

 than it ever had been before, and, inter- 

 esting to relate, they proved one of the 

 most readily salable items in both whole- 

 sale and retail stores. The result is the 

 present season's further increase in the 

 number and size of orders for seeds of 

 the winter varieties. The success of the 

 Spencer sorts in the cut flower markets 

 last spring promises to also result in an 

 increased call for th&se sorts for later 

 flowering. A good many florists know 

 the Spencers only as the "butterfly" 

 peas. .

The death of Edward M. Lyman, 

 Springfield, Mass., is reported in the 

 obituary column, page 15, of this issue. 



Theke will be a good sale for cyclamen 

 seeds this season, because nearly every 

 grower of cyclamen could have sold more 

 plants last spring. 



The new rates of duty on seeds and 

 bulbs went into effect Friday, August 6, 

 in exact accordance with the publication 

 made on page 40 of the Review of Au- 

 gust 5. 



The opinion is held in certain quarters 

 that the "streak" disease that is giving 

 so much trouble to English growers of 

 sweet peas is not a disease at all, but due 

 to weakening constitution. 



The Boutzahn Seed Co., Arroyo Grande, 

 Cal., stated August 2 that as it entered 

 into harvest, crop conditions were unusu- 

 ally good, especially on its 350 acres of 

 sweet peas and flower seeds. 



English seedsmen have had a season 

 to date almost the exact opposite of that 

 with which those in the United States 

 have had to contend. Where we have 

 had it hot and dry for many weeks, Eng- 

 land has had an unusually cool, rainy 

 summer. 



The Garton-Cooper Seed Co., Warring- 

 ton, England, has been incorporated (reg- 

 istered, they call it over there) to push 

 the ."eed business of Gartons, Ltd., and 

 the insecticide business of Wm. Cooper 

 & Xephews, both of which firms have 

 oflRces in the United States.
