The first Hollander of the season, sell- 

 ing the 1910 bulb crop, has been reported 

 from Sedalia, Mo. 



At Philadelphia it is said that the 

 bean situation is the occasion of as much 

 concern as the shortage of peas. 



With the catalogues going to press, the 

 fact that many European seeds will not 

 arrive before late January begins to as- 

 sume importance. 



The canners' publicity campaign ap- 

 pears to have consisted of a page adver- 

 tisement in the November magazines; 

 there is nothing doing in the December 

 issues. 



C. P. Beaslan has donated a quantity 

 of sweet pea seed to the chamber of com- 

 merce at San Jose, Cal., for the purposes 

 of the floral festival to be held there next 

 spring. 



The government seed shop has its cata- 

 logue out — in the shape of local notices 

 that congressmen will be glad to hear 

 from those who want a New Year's re- 

 membrance. 



The eastern seed houses have now got 

 pretty well cleaned up on Dutch bulbs, 

 and orders are still coming in. The boat 

 from Holland last week landed nearly 100 

 cases, shipped on reorders. 



A. H. Goodwin, vice-president of The 

 W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, will sail 

 on the Cunarder Saxonia from New York 

 December 4, to join Mrs. Goodwin in 

 Italy and spend the winter months in the 

 Riviera. 



The market for bouquet green at Chi- 

 cago this week is around $7 to $8 per 

 case. The supply is undeniably light anC 

 it is said that one house holds the larger 

 part of the quantity now available. 

 When green gets above a certain figure 

 the demand is curtailed and small lots 

 aggregating considerable quantities are 

 drawn to market, so the situation is one 

 that is full of interest.

FREE SEEDS ARE PURE SEEDS. 



In his annual report, made public De- 

 cember 1, Secretary of Agriculture James 

 Wilson has the following to say of free 

 seeds and pure seeds: 



"The distribution of seeds and plants 

 on congressional order was continued 

 during the past year along the same gen- 

 eral lines as previously. Owing to the 

 higher price of vegetable seeds, the 

 quotas assigned to each member of con- 

 gress were slightly smaller than in former 

 years. The packeting, assembling and 

 mailing of the vegetable and flower seeds 

 were carried out satisfactorily under con- 

 tract, as formerly. Particular attention 

 • has been devoted to the development of
