Wm. F. Dreer, the PJiiladelphia seeds- 

 man, is summering, as usual, in Maine. 



The seed trade was well represented 

 at last week's S. A. F. convention at 

 Baltimore. 



Howard M. Earl, of W. Atlee Burpee 

 & Co., has returned to Philadelphia after 

 a month's trip to California. 



The early varieties of sweet corn are 

 reported quite a short crop, but the late 

 sorts promise Avell if the frosts hold off 

 long enough. 



If the samples shown at Baltimore are 

 any guide, the French bulbs certainly 

 made good growth. All the samples were 

 ' ' monsters. ' ' 



Arthur T. Boddington, New York, is 

 spending the week ends at Nantucket, 

 where Mrs. Boddington and the children 

 are summering. 



It is said that this season some of the 

 stock seed of winter-flowering sweet 

 peas, grown in California, has returned 

 only five pounds for one. 



Competition has brought the prices of 

 French bulbs to a point where there is 

 little incentive to go after the business; 

 so some of the bulb houses say. 



Ant. C. Zvolanek reports that the 

 crop of sweet pea seed at Bound Brook, 

 N. J., is only one-third of normal, but 

 hopes next year's yield will be larger. 



Harrisii bulbs are said to be selling 

 quite well — better than last season. As 

 the cultural methods of the Bermudian 

 growers improve, the confidence of the 

 bulb forcers will increase. 



.1. BoLGiANO & Son had many visitors 

 during the S. A. F. convention at Bal- 

 timore last week and no one went away 

 without being impressed with the size of 

 their plant and the completeness of their 

 facilities. 



Seedsmen who have personally inves- 

 tigated the situation in Europe report 

 that crops generally are the poorest in 

 years and that last season's shortages 

 will seem slight by comparison with those 

 of the present season. 



A REPORT has been received of the 

 death,- August 2, of Archibald Smith, 

 the Knglish seedsman, who was well 

 known, in the trade in America, having 

 spent many years in this country before 

 engaging in business at Oxford, England.
