The English crop of sweet pea seed 

 also is below the average, due to un- 

 favorable weather. 



With the arrival of October the new 

 seed warehonse of Condon Bros., Bock- 

 ford, 111., will be ready for occupancy. 



J. J. Funk, seedsman at Fremont, 

 Mich., is moving to a temporary store 

 preparatory to putting up a new building 

 22x120. 



Waldo Bohneet, Gilrov, Cal., will do 

 his fall plowing with a forty-five horse- 

 power traction engine drawing two five- 

 disk plows that go ten inches deep. 



Alexander Foebes, for over twenty- 

 five years general manager for Peter 

 Henderson & Co., New York, has re- 

 signed, Patrick O'Mara succeeding him. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 recently has issued as Farmers' Bulletin 

 No. 489 "Two Dangerous Imported 

 Plant Diseases," one of them being the 

 wart disease of the potato. 



J. S. Michael, Sioux City, la., has 

 started excavation for a seed store 25x 

 150, basement and two stories high, of 

 fireproof construction, to cost $15,000. 

 The location is 319 Pearl street. 



C. E. Kendel, secretary of the Amer- 

 ican Seed Trade Association, has mailed 

 to members the stenographic report of 

 the convention held at Chicago last June. 

 The list of members and other usual fea- 

 tures are included. 



H. Frank Dabbow advises that Alfred 

 Emerich, of Vilmorin, Andrieuz & Co., 

 Paris, France, will arrive in New York 

 September 28, and will visit the seed 

 trade as usual throughout the United 

 States and Canada. 



It is stated that Young & Nugent, 

 New York, who are adding seeds and 

 bulbs to their business, will handle these 

 under their firm name and not under a 

 corporate title, as previously reported. 

 Frfuik M. Duggan, formerly of Bridge- 

 man's, is manager of the department. 



Advices from Holland are that the 

 bulb growers had to contend with the 

 rainiest August ever known. It has seri- 

 ously hampered the harvesting of such 

 stock as was still in the ground, has made 

 drying difficult in the warehouses and 

 brought preparations for planting to a 

 complete standstill. Surpluses wUl be ex- 

 tremely light this year. The supply of 

 tulips is only middling and prices are 

 firm. Hyacinths were well taken up 

 prior to harvest. Crocus bulbs are scarce 

 and have sold at high prices. Narcissi 

 also have advanced and even double Von 

 Sion are short of the demand. 



One of the Toledo grass seed houses 

 says: "The world's clover seed crop 

 promises to be an average one, although 

 the crop is late. The outlook in the 

 United States is mixed. Threshing of 

 medium has just started in many sec- 

 tions. Mammoth was mostly poor qual- 

 ity. England is decidedly short, but 

 they still have some old seed. Italy and 

 Hungary have produced a good crop. 

 The crops of Bohemia and Bussia, how- 

 ever, are BtUl an unknown quantity, while
