The eastern and southern growers of 

 turnip are not an enthusiastic lot. 



The mails continue to bring quanti- 

 ties of the less bulky European seeds. 



Seedsmen will be interested in the ar- 

 ticle, "Who Must Bear the Loss?" in 

 the Nursery Department of this week's 

 issue. 



E. 0. PiEPEB, manager of the Braslan 

 Seed Growers' Co., San Jose, Cal., has 

 returned to his desk after an absence of 

 three weeks. 



Apparently the European war is to 

 have even more effect on the market for 

 grass and clover seeds than on vegetable 

 and flower seeds. 



Lechnee Bros., Webster Groves, Mo., 

 are the American agents for John Eosen- 

 krantz & Son, bulb growers and seeds- 

 men at Heemstede, Holland. 



The seed trade as a whole has found 

 collections slow this summer. More than 

 the usual persistence has been necessary 

 to keep up to the usual records. 



A CROP report mailed by Conrad 

 Appel, Darmstadt, Gtermany, July 30, 

 reached The Review September 7. It 

 was the first German mail in a month. 



The autumn bulb catalogues coming 

 to hand show little change from other 

 years. Either the books were too far 

 along to permit change or else the effect 

 of the war is not feared. 



JuLSs Kaiser, European representa- 

 tive of the Braslan Seed Growers' Co., 

 San Jose, Cal., is an officer in the Swiss 

 reserves and has notified his house that 

 he has been called to the colors.

Charles N. Page, of the Iowa Seed 

 Co., Des Moines, while able to be about 

 after the operation performed some 

 weeks ago at Rochester, Minn., still is 

 weak and not able to give his usual close 

 attention to business, 



Germany is completely isolated by the 

 war — there is no German mail of recent 

 date, so that it is impossible to tell what 

 is happening at the seed-growing centers, 

 but it is assumed, from cable reports 

 covering general conditions, that the 

 women and old men are saving the crops. 



Not many of the fall bulb catalogues 

 had been printed, but most of them were 

 in type July 31, when the European war 

 broke out. One by one the books have 

 appeared, practically without change 

 from the original plans and prices." Evi- 

 dently the trade has come to the con- 

 clusion that the unusual conditions wiU 

 have little effect on the retail bulb 

 business. 



An indication of the haste with which 

 the Holland exporters have filled their 

 bulb orders is seen in the number of sub- 

 stitutions and items filled only in part. 

 Enclosed with the invoices of some of 

 the exporters are mimeographed apolo- 

 gies for the irregular manner in which 

 the orders have been filled. Evidently 

 the shippers did not have time to get 

 around and pick up the stock to fill the
