A. H. Wilkinson, head of the garden 

 seeds department of the Summers Seed 

 House, at Malvern, la., has planted a 

 tract of fifty acres with vegetables for 

 seed. 



Theee is no special inquiry for Har- 

 risii. There are those who were di ap- 

 pointed in the call last year, and it looks 

 as though it might be even lighter this 

 season. ^J 



Since the reports from all the centers 

 of production speak of short crops and 

 light .acreage, the next selling season for 

 onion sets is likely to be different from 

 last season. 



Drt weather continues in all the im- 

 portant seed growing centers, though the 

 excessive heat has passed. More than a 

 few showers wUl be needed to put the 

 soil into condition. 



The seedsmen in the state of New 

 York are making vigorous protest to Gov- 

 ernor Dix in the hope of securing bis veto 

 for the pure seed bill that recently passed 

 both houses of the legislature. 



It is just a little early to speak with 

 certainty, but it looks as though there 

 might be a decrease in the crop of bulbs 

 of America gladiolus, and an increase in 

 the demand. That would mean a short- 

 age. 



A. A. Bekbt, Clarinda, la., reports that 

 growing conditions have been unfavor- 

 able; crops will be materially diminished 

 by the extremely dry weather, although 

 good rains would yet help out the corn 

 crop. 



European seed growing countries, after 

 two wet seasons, are this year having the 

 other extreme — in many districts of Eng- 

 land, France, Germany and Holland there 

 has been too little moisture since the 

 heavy spring rains. 



BoBEBT Nicholson, who recently re- 

 tired from the Texas Seed & Floral Co., 

 which he founded many years ago, will 

 do a wholesale business in field seeds un- 

 der his own name, at 401-3 Commerce 

 street, Dallas, Tex. 



Eventually a large part of the radish 

 seed used in this country will be grown 

 here. It is slowly coming to be recog- 

 nized that American crops grown from 

 seed from transplanted roots are just as 

 good as the French crops. 



Believing that a disclaimer printed 

 among the advertising matter on the 

 letter-head is of little value, and not 

 being prepared to print it below the 

 date line in advance of the general adop- 

 tion of the new position by the trade, 

 certain seedsmen have omitted the dis- 

 claimer entirely, so far as their letter- 

 heads are conceraed.
