Eadish is one of the items that will 

 not go begging next season. 



Now it's the corn crop that is the 

 basis for the scare. Weather too dry in 

 the corn belt. 



The trade seems to be free from one 

 worry: No one appears to be concerned 

 about the crop of onion. 



Wholesale seedsmen who have booked 

 a lot of business for delivery out of 1910 

 crops are beginning to wonder — prices 

 are steadily going up. 



J. J. Utter, Bravo, Mich., wrote July 

 26 that beans were doing well, vine seeds 

 fair, turnips good, but sweet corn will be 

 a short crop, as it appears to him. 



Seedsmen will be interested in the 

 Stokes and Willard note and in the 

 Dreer note in the Philadelphia news- 

 letter, beginning on page 24 of this 

 issue. 



The prospect for a good crop of beans 

 grows daily less. Some of the fields will 

 turn out practical failures and not many, 

 it is said, will yield what the growers 

 bad hoped. And a good bean crop would 

 have been useful. 



W. H. Grenell says the situation of 

 beans in Michigan is becoming serious. 

 To him it appears that the chances of a 

 good crop have gone by and no better 

 than a short crop is possible. Many fields, 

 he says, look like a failure of crop. 



Mes. C. C. Moese, widow of the pioneer 

 seed grower of California, died at her 

 home in Santa Clara, July 14. Mrs. 

 Morse crossed the plains in the early 

 50 's and had lived in the neighborhood of 

 San Jose for many years. She is sur- 

 vived by a grown-up family, of whom 

 Lester Morse is at the head of the house 

 of C. C. Morse & Co. 



An attorney whose specialty is com- 

 mercial law states that no part of what 

 may be printed on a letter-head is a 

 part of a contract unless it be between 

 the date line and the signature, except a 

 reference appears between those parts 

 to ptractically bring the outside words 

 yfimn the body of the letter itself. This 

 would apply to the non-warranty clause 

 ' $M printed on most MedMnen 's stationery.

The pea proposition is going to be a 

 serious one. There are reports that many 

 fields will do well to return the stock. 



Dry, hot weather is general all over 

 the country. To say the least, it is doing 

 no good to crops, and seed crops are to 

 the seed trade as important as any others 

 this year. We need the seeds. 



The Society of Seed and Vegetable 

 Growers was formed July 2 at Winschoten, 

 Holland, including a number of seed 

 growers in the Groningen district. 

 Hommo Ten Have is chairman of the first 

 committee of managers. 



Adam Currie, of Currie Bros. Co., 

 seedsmen, Milwaukee, expresses the 

 opinion that scraping the bark off trees, 

 in an attempt to exterminate the tussock 

 moth, is more harmful than the moth and 

 really does irreparable damage. 



AT BOCKY FOBD. 



No section of the country has de- 

 veloped faster in the last five years, 

 speaking of seed growing interests, 

 tuan has the Rocky Ford district of 

 Colorado. Not only vine seeds, espe- 

 cially cantaloupe and cucumber, but 

 many other articles now are produced 

 there in quantity. Referring to the 

 seasonableness of things at Rocky Ford, 

 D. V. Burrell said July. 19: 



"Growing conditions here continue 

 very favorable and, with a few excep- 

 tions, our crops promise full delivery 

 on contracts. Seed growing in our val- 

 ley has extended very rapidly and this 

 year acreage is much more than here- 

 tofore."
