Beans appear to be poor the world 

 over this year. 



The later reports on peas indicate 

 that the pessimists are well backed up 

 by the outturn of merchantable seeds. 



The Busch Seed Store, Lawrence, 

 Kan., has moved into the Pearson build- 

 ing, recently purchased by Mr. Busch. 



Thomas W. Chisholm, sales manager 

 for the Braslan Seed Growers Co., San 

 Jose, Cal., is leaving the coast for his 

 annual visit to the trade. 



It is reported from Cadillac, Mich., 

 that the D. M. Terry Seed Co., Detroit, 

 has suffered the loss of five large crops 

 by recent heavy frosts in Wexford and 

 Missaukee counties. 



The New Albany Seed & Implement 

 Co., New Albany, Ind., has been incor- 

 porated, with $5,000 capital stock. The 

 directors are Herman Brown, Sr., Louisa 

 Brown and Henry Goetz. 



The Central Kentucky Blue Grass Seed 

 Co. has ^been incorporated at Lexington, 

 Ky., with a capital of $20,000. The in- 

 corporators are Clarence Le Bus, S. H. 

 Malley and C. H. Berryman. 



The Ford Seed Coi, of Ravenna, O., 

 is building an addition to its seed house. 

 This will provide 5,076 square feet of 

 extra floor space which was made neces- 

 sary by the increase in business. 



The first 1913 general seed catalogue 

 to reach The Eeview was that of the 

 Ebbert Seed Co., Eocky Ford, Colo. It 

 quotes all seeds by .the pound, with a 

 table showing the weight of each variety 

 required to plant a given area. 



The Henry Field Seed Co., of Shenan- 

 doah, la., has purchased two buildings 

 formerly occupied by a manufacturing 

 concern, and has remodeled them with 

 the intention of using them for the gar- 

 den seed department, which has outgrown 

 the facilities of the main building. 



McKay, Reece & Co., Nashville, Tenn., 

 are laying plans to make that city a 

 center for the growing of Seven Top 

 turnip seed. They have contracted over 

 25,000 pounds for next fall's delivery 

 thus far and are still going after busi- 

 ness. Their fields are already up and are 

 looking well. 



A Nashville seed house reports about 

 eighty per cent of their garden pea con- 

 tracts being filled, with the heavy short- 

 age on the late varieties. Beans are not 

 in yet, and their growers are not able to 

 even estimate what per cent of their con- 

 tracts they will be able to fill. It is 

 pretty certain that they will be short in 

 all varieties. Lettuce, radishes, onions, 

 cabbage and spinach are filled in full as 

 per contract. Tomatoes are mostly in
