Tblrty-thlrd annual convention, San Francisco, 

 Cal., June, 1915. 



Onion will not be a full crop anywhere 

 this year, but there is little concern over 

 the fact ; there probably will be enough. 



Word comes from Rocky Ford that the 

 cahtaloupe that was replanted after the 

 spring hail is in a fair way to make a 

 crop of seed. 



After the way beans cleaned up last 

 spring it is to be regretted that the best 

 information affords nothing better than a 

 moderate prospect for this year 'a crop. 



Western growers of sweet corn are 

 counting confidently on good crops. An 

 early frost is about all they have to fear. 

 It has- been a good summer for the Ne- 

 braska seed growers. 



William Koopemans, manager of the 

 nursery department of the Farmer Seed 

 & Nursery Co., at Faribault, Minn., re- 

 cently returned home after a visit of 

 several months in Holland. 



Ralph M. Ward, who recently returned 

 to New York after a trip to Japan, says 

 the average crop of Formosa lily bulbs 

 has been a million and a half, while the 

 1914 crop exceeds two millions. 



J. S. Abel, of the Amarillo Seed & 

 Nursery Co., at Amarillo, Tex., has thirty 

 acres of Sudan grass, which he is growing 

 for seed. He believes firmly in the possi 

 bilities of this crop and expects to do a 

 profitable business with the seed from his 

 ranch. 



A LARGE part of the stock necessary for 

 the 1915 congressional free seed distribu- 

 tion has been contracted for in England 

 and France. Possibly the government 

 seed shop is more in need of prompt ship- 

 ment than is the average commercial seeds- 

 man. It is within the possibilities that 

 the war may be a large factor in causing 

 a discontinuance of the free seed farce. 



AMERICA A DUMPING GBOUND. 



With reference to the suggestion 

 made in this department of The Re- 

 view for August 6, to the effect that 

 the United States might be called on 

 this year to absorb more than its usual 

 part of the crop of Dutch bulbs, it 

 begins to seem that America this year 

 wiU be the dumping ground for all 

 trade articles the rest of the world 

 finds itself unable to deliver to cus- 

 tomers in the countries that are at war. 

 The records show that the shipments 

 of French bulbs to the United States 

 this season are far heavier than last 

 year, and the Hollanders are, some of 

 them, almost hysterical in their efforts 

 to find buyers here for the bulbs usually 

 shipped to Europe. Also now comes 

 the word from Japan that England, a 

 large user of giganteum, is canceling 

 orders, with the result that there will
