of this by drawing their supplies from 

 houses of good repute. 



The market price (between grower 

 and exporter) of the competitive Eoman 

 White hyacinth bulb has just been fixed 

 for the present season by the Growers' 

 Syndicate at 68 francs ($13,12) per 

 thousand of 1,050, the assortment to 

 include the usual marketable sizes, from 

 4.7 to 5.9 inches. For extra sizes the 

 members of the syndicate are at liberty 

 to make their own prices. 



THE SEASON AT ROCKY TOED. 



The season at Rocky Ford, Colo., is 

 early this year and melons now are 

 ready for market in fair quantity. It 

 will be remembered that the U. S. food 

 and drugs bureau has ruled that Rocky 

 Ford melons, to be sold under that name 

 in interstate commerce, must actually 

 be grown at Rocky Ford. H. D. Gar- 

 wood, secretary of the Ebbert Seed Co., 

 wrote July 28: 



' ' We shipped to Colorado Springs yes- 

 terday the first Rocky Ford cantaloupes 

 of the season; will make our second 

 shipment today to Denver. These ship- 

 ments break all former records for early 

 shipments. The earliest shipment in the 

 last five years was August 1, 1906. In- 

 dications are that the output for the 

 season will be considerably lighter than 

 usual, but quality never was better. 

 General express shipments will begin 

 August 6 to 8, car lot shipments about 

 August 12." 



BERMUDA ONION SEED. 



Under date of July 11, Federico C. 

 Varela sent from Teneriffe, in the 

 Canary Islands, the following report of 

 the year's crop of Bermuda onion seed: 



"We have been considerably handi- 

 capped this year by most exception- 

 ally rainless autumn and winter seasons. 

 The persisting drought has checked 

 from the outset the normal development 

 of the plants, even where spring water 

 is available, the flow being reduced to 

 half of the usual. In numerous districts 

 where water is collected in reservoirs 

 during the rainy season the onion seed 

 crop is a total failure through want of 

 this precious liquid,' With the absence
