good crops. But ho was careful to add 

 that a few davs of bad weather in au- 

 tumn may change tlie whole aspect of 

 things. 



J. n. Walter, president of Stunipp & 

 Walter Co., New York, with his family, 

 is rusticating at a Maine resort. 



Maurice Fuld, formerly manager fo^ 

 W. W. Kawson & Co., Boston, now is with 

 the Wonderland Company, Kevcre Beach, 

 Boston. 



Chas. Loesciiner. of the Yokohama 

 Nursery Co., New York, has retired from- 

 that connection and gone to Germany 

 permanently. 



Eev. W^ T. HuTCHixs, whose special 

 hobby is tlie sweet pea and who has 

 recently made his home in California, 

 will return to New Haven, Conn., to 

 reside. 



TEXAS FIRMS CONSOLIDATE. 



Through a combination of two Dallas 

 houses, Texas now has a concern that 

 expects to handle an annual business of 

 $700,000 to $800,000 in seeds and plants. 



The amalgamation of interests in- 

 volves the Texas Seed & Floral Co. 

 and the Robinson Seed & Plant Co. 

 and became operative July 1. The 

 change was brought about through the 

 reorganization of the Texas Seed & 

 Floral Co., with a capital of $100,000, 

 the officers being: President, K. Nich- 

 olson; vice-president, E. 1'. Brown; sec- 

 retary and treasurer, C. 'W. Robinson. 

 Mr. Robinson formerly was president 

 and Mr. Brown vice-president of the 

 Robinson Seed & Plant Co.. which 

 was established in 1873 and now loses 

 its identity in the larger concern. 



The first thing the new corjwration 

 •will do is to erect a four-story brick 

 •warehouse at Hawkins street and 

 Pacific avenue, Dallas, where headquar- 

 ters will be made. 'Sir. Robinson is 

 authority for the statement that the 

 combined businesses represent a volume 

 of from $700,000 to $800,000. 



BOSTON'S NEW FIRM. 



The big new Boston seed house, 

 formed bv merging the businesses oi 

 W. W. Rawson & Co., H. K. Fiske Seed 

 Co. and Schlegel & Fottler Co., will have 

 H. E. Fiske as general manager. John 

 Fottler, late of the Schlegel & Fottler 

 Co., will be president, and W. C. Briggs, 

 formerly treasurer of the H. E. Fiske 

 Seed Co., will act as secretary-treasurer. 

 The building now occupied by the H. 

 E. Fiske See4 Co. will be used by the 

 new firm. It •n^asfor years, and prior 

 to the fire a few years ago, occupied 

 by W. W. Rawson & Co. 



'Herbert W. Rawson will not be ac- 

 tively interested in the new firm, and 

 Maurice Fuld, late manager for Rawson 

 & Co., will not be connected with it; 

 neither will A. F. Barney and J. M. 

 Gleason, the other much respected mem- 

 bers of the Schlegel & Fottler Co., who. 

 it is rumored, may start on their own 

 account. The new amalgamated firm will 

 have convenient and centrally located 

 quarters right in the heart of the seed 

 district, and will control a large volume 

 of business. W. N. Craig. 



PEAS AND BEANS. 



The pea crops in Wisconsin and Mich- 

 igan show that the product •will vary 

 all the way from hardly anything to a

full crop. Tiiis refers to Aiasita and 

 some otiier of tin' early variotics. In 

 some cases the land retained eniMij,'li 

 moisture to niitture tlie crops eveulv. 

 but in many other eases the fields liavi. 

 been seriously atfoi-ted by the drouylit. 

 On the whole, there is no donht that 

 there will be a great shortage of earlies. 

 notwitljetanding that many of the grow 

 ers feel that the Alaska erojis are safelv 

 made. It is yet too early to give aiiv 

 estimate of the late sorts, although the 

 general opinion is that they have snt 

 fered from lack of rains much more 

 than the earlies. In some cases it is 

 thought that rain may yet come in 

 time to assist in making the late varie- 

 ties pan out well. 



Beans thus faf are looking well. The 

 stand is excellent, in general, but there 

 is a long season yet and it may or mav 

 not be favorable.

 are too small to make more than half a
