quantity of Gradus and other fancy peas 

 changed hands at $7.50 per bushel, and 

 the opinion was general that these peas 

 next year must again be dear. 



The Ewing Seed Co. has been incor- 

 porated at Nashville, Tenn., with a capi- 

 tal stock of $15,000. The incorporators 

 are "W. B. Ewing, J. I. Newsom, Jr., B. 

 F. "Wilkerson and William B. Shelton. 



Sluis Seed Store, Chicago, reports 

 the arrival this week of its first ship- 

 ment of the season's European seeds. 

 Their sources of supply have advised 

 them that the late shipments this year 

 are due to the bad weather which pre- 

 vailed during harvest time. 



The 1910 general catalogue of the 

 Barteldes Steel Co., Lawrence, Kan., 

 reached the Eeview December 18. It is 

 an exception to the general run of seed 

 catalogues in that it features a forage 

 plant, alfalfa, instead of a garden vege- 

 table, on its lithographed front cover. 

 This is the forty-third annual edition of 

 the Barteldes book. 



The local paper at San Jose, Cal., 

 gives a column write-up, with portrait, 

 to L. Ki Soon, the Chinese foreman of 

 the Sweeney farm of the Braslan Seed 

 Growers' Co., at Fair Oaks, which in- 

 cludes 825 acres. It is stated that L. Ki 

 Soon is 29 years of age, that he started 

 with the Braslan interests twelve years 

 ago and now receives a salary of $2,500 

 a year. 



The general catalogue of W. "W. Raw- 

 son & Co., Boston, reached the Eeview 

 December 17. It is a book of 160 pages, 

 7x9%, and is especially notable for its 

 compactness. It does not look crowded, 

 but there is no waste space. The cover 

 is embossed, on rough stock, and both 

 front and back there is a panel in which 

 is pasted a picture in colors. The book 

 is a McFarland product. 



Eight in the busy season, or before 

 March 1, those seedsmen who do busi- 

 ness in corporate organization will have 

 to take time to figure up their net in- 

 come in 1909 for the purposes of Taft's 

 corporation tax. To comply fully with 

 the law an inventory December 31 is 

 necessary, which is to be compared with 

 the inventory one year previous, but how 

 many seedsmen took an inventory as of 

 December 31, 1908? 



In a circular sent to watermelon 

 growers, W. M. Girardeau & Son, Monti- 

 cello, Fla., for whom E. L. Eaton now is 

 manager, say: "We select our seeds 

 from the largest and most perfect melons. 

 We cut off both ends of these melons 

 and take our select seeds from the mid- 

 dles only. These seeds we think are the 

 best. Of course seeds saved in this way
