The prices on California sweet pea 

 seed win be ready in a few days, as most 

 oif the stock is in the bag. 



Some of the French growers report 

 good crops of carrot, but as the yield 

 elsewhere generally is deficient prices are 

 expected to continue rather high. 



Badish is grown in considerable quan- 

 tity in America, but the crop this year 

 is poor, in California a failure second 

 only to sweet peas. In Michigan, where 

 there is a much smaller acreage, the 

 crop is better. The French crops are re- 

 ported as below average, but Holland is 

 said to have an excellent crop, now cut. 



Up to the time that the text of the 

 new pure seed law became available to 

 the trade in last week's issue of The 

 Eeview the Department of Agriculture 

 at Washington, and other sources of in- 

 formation, had many requests for copies 

 of the law or advices as to its status. 

 Some of the news agencies had sent out 

 the erroneous information that the bill 

 had been lost in the closing hours of the 

 Congress. "^ 



The season for harvesting cow peas in 

 the Tennessee section has arrived and 

 the weather is perfect. This means a 

 good crop, as the growth was extra and 

 the peas nave set well. Soy beans, of 

 which a good acreage is grown in the 

 vicinity of Nashville, will be ready to 

 harvest in about two weeks. They are 

 looking well. It is not expected that 

 the h^h prices that have obtained for 

 the laat two years on these two items 

 will continue. 



A PETITION in bankruptcy was filed 

 September 6 by Rickards Bros., New 

 York, who had been proprietors of 

 Bridgeman's Seed Warehouse since 1906, 

 the business having been founded in 1840. 

 A list of the liabilities, which far exceed 

 the assets, will be found on page 15 of 

 this issue. A, L. Rickards has entered 

 the employ of Stumpp & Walter Co., New 

 York, and Wm. Rickards has entered 

 the employ of a new concern, the 

 Young & Nugent Seed & Bulb Co., 42 

 West Twenty-eighth street, New York.

The German consul at St. Louis has 

 rep<^ed to bis government a list of 

 seed"^ and drug houses in the southwest 

 which he says "want to import the 

 seeds mentioned" after their names. The 

 list is going the rounds of the European 

 horticultural press, but with nearly all 

 the addresses wrong. 



Reports by mail and wire from all 

 California lima bean growing counties 

 indicate a shortage of fifteen per cent or 

 more from the record breaking produc- 

 tion of last year. The beans will be 

 harvested rather earlier than usual, and 

 according to all accounts the quality is 

 excellent, though the beans run small in 

 size, the extreme hot weather in June
