Later reports do not make the onion 

 seed crop prospects quite as good as 

 earlier accounts. 



F. B. King, president of Mandeville & 

 King Co., Rochester, is on a fishing trip 

 through Georgian bay. 



Robert Fulton, of Henry & I^ee, New 

 York, is in Japan superintending the 

 shipment of the longiflorums. 



Henry A. Salzer and family, La 

 Crosse, Wis., are spending the summer in 

 a cottage at Lake Oconomowoc. 



The Connecticut growers of sweet corn 

 for seed say the present condition of the 

 crop is rather above the average. 



The pea crop in England is described 

 as ' ' even worse than in 1909. ' ' That fits 

 here, only with us it is very much worse. 



Some of the longiflorum bulbs are on 

 the way. As with Harrisii and Dutch 

 bulbs, they will be in earlier than usual 

 this season. 



W. R. French, who for a quarter of a 

 century has handled seeds in connection 

 with hides at Waterloo, la., will retire 

 from active business. He has sold his 

 stock and good will to N. J. Berkley, 

 who has dealt in the same lines. 



The sweet pea novelty of the year in 

 England surely was not named with a 

 view to catchiness; they call it Stirling 

 Stent! The color is described as an 

 orange vermilion shade. It will be sent 

 out by E. W. King & Co., Coggeshall, 

 Essex. 



The beau crops are spotty. Some 

 fields look well, while others will turn 

 out almost a total failure. As a result, 

 the trade must needs have a report on 

 each individual planting; there can be no 

 such thing as figuring on average de- 

 liveries. 



The pea growers are up in the air; 

 they are reluctant even to make a guess 

 as to the percentage of deliveries. It 

 now appears that the late sorts, from 

 which better things had been expected, 

 will turn out fully as short as the earlies. 

 There is every indication that the price 

 of peas this season will be fixed by what 

 the traffic will bear.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT. 



In spite of a shrinkage of 224,000,000 

 bushels in the indicated yield of corn, 

 the government crop report as of 

 August 1, made public August 8, was 

 regarded as distinctly favorable. The 

 report showed a condition figure only- 

 six points below the condition July 1, 

 when crop killers had been busy almost 

 the whole month. A surprise was the 

 reduction in the condition of the Ne 

 braska corn crop, as it was not believed 

 the crop in that state had been much 

 injured. The government made the 

 loss of condition in Nebraska greater 

 than in Kansas, and with the excep- 

 tion of Oklahoma the loss in the former 

 state was the greatest of any one of 

 the corn states. Texas and Kansas 

 each showed a condition of 78, while
