The fall bulb catalogues are making 

 their appearance in every mail. 



The last week has brought many good 

 showers in seed growing districts, but 

 few soaking rains. 



The G. D. Sutton Seed Co.. Mason 

 City, 111., is building a warehouse 40x140, 

 two stories in height. 



The French radish seed crops are 

 pretty sure to turn out light again this 

 year — too much water. 



From present appearances the call for 

 seeds from canners should be heavier next 

 season than in any previous season. 



Eeports from California do not con- 

 tradict the earlier news of damage to 

 the sweet peas, but nevertheless hold out 

 promise of a fine yield. 



The latest report from the Lima bean 

 district in California is that weather con- 

 ditions have started the ripening period 

 rather earlier than usual. 



The sale of seeds of the winter-flower- 

 ing sweet peas is increasing with great 

 rapidity. Florists have found the winter 

 sweet peas turn in a good profit. 



J. C. Robinson and family have just 

 reached their Jsebraska home after the 

 Atlafitic City convention. They have been 

 visiting relatives in New York state. 



When you have an item, crop news, 

 business or personal, that will interest 

 the trade, The Review will be glad to 

 give it space in this department. Send 

 it in. 



The condition of the Wisconsin and 

 Michigan pea crops has not improved 

 greatly during the last few days, al- 

 though the weather has been cooler and 

 there have been some showers. 



The English seed growers certainly are 

 having a hard time of it; the weather 

 has been distinctly against them, except 

 for a few weeks in late spring, pretty 

 continuously for more than a year. 



Most of the onion set growers in the 

 Chicago district, which has had several 

 heavy rains within the week, seem of the 

 opinion that the moisture came too late 

 to be of much benefit to the crop.

THE FIRST HARRISII. 



The first Harrisii bulbs of the 1910 

 crop reached New York from Bermuda 

 on the boat arriving July 14. It was 

 an unusually large shipment for the 

 first one, consisting of 1927 cases, con- 

 signed as foll6ws:

Although the steamer's manifest 

 showed "lily bulbs," as above, no 

 doubt quite a few of the cases con- 

 tained freosia bulbs instead of Harrisii. 



FORMOSA LILIES. 



Last fall I tried for the first time a 

 case of bulbs of the Formosa longi- 

 florum lily, procuring my stock from 

 what I consider one of the most relia- 

 ble firms in the trade. They were fine 

 bulbs and unusually even as to size- I 

 planted them in 6-inch pots late in Sep- 

 tember and plunged the pots outside, 

 covering them well. They were brought 

 into the greenhouse in November and

 The growth was uneven from the start. 

 The growing temperature at night was 

 about 55 degrees; some plants grew 

 only about three feet high, but the ma-

 a few were as tall as six feet. The
