The beet seed crop in New England 

 is said to be good. 



Walter Eogebs, of Hope Valley, E. 

 I., dealer in seeds and agricultural imple- 

 ments, has filed a petition in bankruptcy. 



Corn has been coming forward rapidly 

 of late and there is no occasion for worry 

 over the supply of seed of the popular 

 sugar sorts. 



L. A. BuDLONO Co., Chicago, is adver- 

 tising in the daily papers for men and 

 women to do "light garden work" har- 

 vesting its crops. 



The report is that the larger sizes of 

 Harrisii bulbs were quickly sold, but that 

 there still are plenty of small and me- 

 dium sizes to be had. 



Vine seed crops in Nebraska continue 

 to give some concern. From some re- 

 ports the bugs have been getting more 

 than their fair share of the crops. 



Secretary C. E. Kendel has issued 

 the "Proceedings of the Twenty-seventh 

 Annual Convention of the American Seed 

 Trade Association," a neatly printed 

 volume of 136 pages. 



Bain in Michigan has been of consid- 

 erable assistance to the beans, but from 

 the pessimistic tone of the correspondence 

 of the growers the peas appear to be be- 

 yond aU help. However, crop conditions 

 seldom are as bad as they are painted. 



W. W. Eawson & Co., Boston, have 

 found a means of accepting all the many 

 invitations to supply a trophy for com- 

 petition at exhibitions that come to every 

 large seed house. They have had a medal 

 designed by one of the best men in the 

 business, have struck off a number of 

 these and are offering them to the man- 

 agers of the fall shows. 



Luther Burbank has issued "a brief 

 descriptive list of the new Burbank giant 

 amaryllis, " in which he says the way to 

 judge novelties is to look to their source, 

 and adds that he has from time to time 

 sold "the more ordinary kinds" of his 

 seedlings to seedsmen and florists, but 

 the best sorts are now to be offered for 

 the first time. He briefly describes 136 

 varieties, stating the number of bulbs 

 and price of each variety, the sale to 

 include all rights.

concluded under difficulties, the weather 

 being so continuously wet that the crop 

 was lifted under the most unfavorable 

 of circumstances, and with a great deal 

 of mud. The crop came in late, in poor 

 condition and the drying is thereby much 

 delayed, so shipments are only now be- 

 ginning. The Holland bulb growers gen- 

 erally regard with much satisfaction the
