How many canners will themselves 

 plant the peas they are offering for 

 sale? 



Onion is one of the most important 

 items and one that is fairly easy in 

 this year of general shortage. 



B. F. Brown, president of the Brown 

 Bag Filling Machine Co., Fitchburg, 

 Mass., is making a western trip. 



An English seedsman, trading in a 

 small way, recently took his life by drink- 

 ing an insecticide containing nicotine, 

 camphor and alcohol. 



There always is somebody to buy seeds 

 of unknown origin, but the seedsman 

 who has a reputation wants the stock he 

 purchases also to have one. 



The way the canners are cleaning up 

 the 1909 pack speaks for a good demand 

 from this important branch of the trade 

 next season; even tomatoes are now 

 on a firm basis. 



Edwin Lonsdale passed through Chi- 

 cago Sunday, November 21, on his way 

 to take charge of the new Burpee seed 

 farm at Lompoc, Cal. He was accom- 

 panied by Mrs. Lonsdale. 



The situation in sugar corn is not 

 giving any concern, but a little more 

 certainty as to the supply of some of 

 the vine seeds would be a help to both 

 wholesalers and retailers. 



Bobbie & Co., the largest mail order 

 seed house in Scotland, are now busily 

 engaged in transferring their stocks and 

 plant from Bothesay to Edinburgh, as 

 they now intend to make the Scottish cap- 

 ital their headquarters. 



Reports from Holland indicate an ad- 

 vance in the prices of spiraeas, especially 

 of the newer types, on account of the 

 crop turning out below Ithe average. 

 Gladioli, on account of the wet season, 

 have done badly and first-size bulbs are 

 exceedingly scarce, and the same reports 

 are current regarding liliums. Crops of 

 all three articles mentioned are below 

 the average. Two or three Dutch bulb 

 growers are visiting London weekly on 

 the lookout for late orders to clear a 

 few surplus stocks of hyacinths and tu- 

 lips still on hand, but the bulb trade in 

 England is not overbrisk, as late plant- 

 ing seems to be the rule. 



In an interview published in the Ee- 

 viEW some weeks ago, E. J. Deal, of W. 

 W. Johnson & Co., Boston, England, 

 called attention to the steady encroach- 

 ment on the supply of stock seed that 

 has been going on for a number of years 

 and pointed out that this one factor 

 assures a continued high price for seeds 

 until there come several consecutive sea- 

 sons of good yields, one good crop not 

 being enough to restock the warehouses. 

 Nothing in a long time has served to 

 arouse so much discussion. Mr, Deal 

 appears to have pointed out a truth that 

 all recognize, once their attention is 

 called to it, for confirmation is heard in 

 several languages.
