Beans are a poor crop, of course, but 

 they should be an unusually fine sample 

 as a result of the harvest weather. 



An increase in capital stock from $10,- 

 000 to $25,000 has been filed in the Ohio 

 secretary of state 's oflSce by the J. Wilder 

 Seed Co., of Cincinnati. 



It is reported that some of the Holland 

 bulb exporters who take orders also 

 for French bulbs and Belgian plants this 

 year have not delivered any of their aza- 

 leas. 



The seed growers in California feel 

 that "it is an ill wind that blows no- 

 body good" and think conditions in 

 Europe this season will bring American 

 seed producers aU the business they can 

 handle. 



The Aggeler & Musser Seed Co., Los 

 Angeles, has removed its warehouse, gen- 

 eral oflBce and sales department to 1200 

 Produce street j on the grounds of the 

 Los Angeles public market, where 25,000 

 square feet of floor space has been 

 equipped with all the up-to-date access- 

 ories for the seed business. The old 

 store will be continued as a retail 

 branch. 



The market for Formosa lily bulbs 

 has proved a surprise. Early in the sea- 

 son it was figured the supply would not 

 equal the demand and most of the dealers 

 were a bit shy about booking orders. 

 When it developed that the crop was 

 larger than expected it was thought the 

 demand, which has been growing steadily, 

 would quickly clean up the surplus. That 

 it has not done so has been a disappoint- 

 ment. The probability is most of the 

 large buyers had covered their wants with 

 Parrisii or giganteum and that they were 

 deterred from taking additional quan- 

 tities of lily bulbs bwause the situation 

 did not develop until after the war had 

 become a factor. 



There has ceased to be serious appre- 

 hension among seedsmen regarding the 

 effect of the European war upon seed 

 supplies this year. None, however, is 

 able to foresee what the effect may be 

 next season if the war continues. Prices 

 are strong, but the larger houses in the 

 trade have their usual reserve seed sup- 

 plies calculated to meet just such a situa- 

 tion as confronts us at the present time. 

 There is much less uncertainty about the 

 situation in flower seeds next season than 

 about vegetable seeds. It still is purely a 

 matter of speculation as to how many 

 vegetable seeds can be sent from Ger- 

 many if the war keeps swinging in the 

 same direction as recently. There is the 

 possibility that shipments may exceed nor- 

 mal years, just as in the case of bulbs. 

 England, it seems, is in a much better 

 situation than was at first expected. Let-
