The bci't sot'il ciop in New llnjrland 

 is said to be good. 



Walter Rogkrs, of Hope Valley, R. 

 I., dealer in seeds and agricultural iniple 

 nients, lias lili'd a petition in bankruptcy. 



f'ORX has Ijeen coming forward rapidly 

 of late and there is no occasion for worry 

 over the supply of seed of the popular 

 sugar sorts. 



L. A. BuDi,o.\G Co., Chicago, is adver- 

 tising in the daily papers for men and 

 'svomen to do "light garden work" har- 

 vesting its ciops. 



Thk report is that the larger sizes of 

 Ilarrisii bulbs Avere quickly sold, but that 

 there still are jilenty 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 ('. )•:. Kendel has issued 

 the "I'roceedings of the 'I'uenty-seventh 

 Annual Convention of the American Seed 

 Trade Association," a neatly printed 

 volume of 130 pages. 



Haix in Michigan has been of consid- 

 erable assistance to the beans, but from 

 the pessimistic tone of the correspondence 

 of the growers the j)eas appear to be be- 

 yond all help. However, crop conditions 

 seldom are as bad as they arc painted. 



W. W. Raw.sox & Co.. lioston, have 

 found a means of accepting all the many 

 invitations to supply a trojdiy fur com- 

 jietition 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 ofl'ering them to the man 

 agors of the fall shows. 



TiUTHER BuRBANK lias 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 adils 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. Ho briefly describes 136 

 varieties, stating the number of bulbs 

 and price uf each variety, the sale to 

 include all rights.
