A. C. Cboft Seed Co., Moulton, Iowa, 

 is a new concern in the seed corn line. 



Clifton Curtis is starting into seed 

 growing at Hollister, Cal., with thirty 

 acres. He will specialize on radish, let- 

 tuce and carrots. 



The John H. Allan Seed Co., Sheboy- 

 gan, Wis., began pea picking July 31, 

 with a force of ninety-three girls the 

 first day. To a reporter Mr. Parmelee 

 declined to commit himself on the crop, 

 which is undeniably short. 



Howard M. Earl, of W. Atlee Burpee 

 & Co., visited the seed growers of the 

 San Juan valley, California, August 2. 

 He left Philadelphia July 20, taking in 

 northern New York, northern Michigan, 

 Utah and Idaho on the way to the coast, 

 and after calling at the Burpee farm at 

 Lompoc will visit Colorado and Oklahoma 

 growers on the way home, being due to 

 arrive in Philadelphia August 14. 



The seed growers of the Santa Clara 

 and San Juan districts agree that the 

 crop about to be harvested will be a good 

 average one, with the single exception

 sweet peas to recover the lost ground. 



Seed houses now offer Freeeia Purity, 

 California grown, greenhouse grown or 

 Bermuda grown. 



The fall bulb catalogues are more 

 niunerous, more elaborate, larger and 

 most of them were out earlier this sea- 

 son than usual. 



The Coulter-Adams Seed Co., of Ogden, 

 Utah, reports the crop of garden peas as 

 fully as good as that of last year and 

 states that it will be able to fill orders 

 100 per cent. 



The interest of W. Rozzelle in the 

 Grand Junction Seed Co., at Grand Junc- 

 tion, Colo., has been purchased by W. L. 

 Burgess, formerly of Forkston, Pa. The 

 owners of the stock company now are 

 Mr. Burgess, J. P. Phipps and J. D. 

 Conley. Plans are being made for in- 



creasing the facilities and greatly en- 

 larging the business, especially the whole- 

 sale department. 



The Holland bulb men sure well satis- 

 fied with the season to date. They have 

 had a good business and the stock they 

 are shipping they think will prove of 

 quality to give excellent satisfaction.

The accompanying illustration, show- 

 ing a bird's-eye view of the operations 

 at the Floradale farm of W. Atlee Bur- 

 pee & Co., is reproduced from a photo- 

 graph made at Lompoc, Cal., July 25, 

 scarcely more than two weeks ago. The 

 crops in the foreground are sweet peas, 

 the taller growing plants being sun- 

 flowers, which are used to break the 

 different plots. The season is late, 

 but conditions since the early part of 

 the year have been much improved.
