Peas are the worst item on the short 

 crop list. 



The supply of seed of the winter flow- 

 ering sweet peas gives indications of fall- 

 ing sh.ort of the demand. 



It is reported from authoritative 

 sources in Bermuda that the shipments 

 of Harrisii bulbs have this season been 

 the smallest in years. 



The crop of Roman hyacinths has 

 turned out short this year, and the same 

 may be said of the French crop of Lilium 

 candidum. 



T. H. Hill, for thirty years with D. 

 Landreth Seed Co., Bristol, Pa., has 

 taken charge of a department for the 

 Gurney Seed Co., Yankton, S. D. 



The latest word from England is of 

 good sweet pea yields, but the more im- 

 portant crops of vegetable seeds have 

 had a bad year to date. 



Paxsy seed has sold well and is still 

 going out steadily. Florists did good 

 business last spring with pansy plants 

 and will start larger quantities for next 

 season. 



Walter P. Stokes, Philadelphia, and 

 S. F. Willard, Wethersfield, Conn., have 

 returned from a two months' trip to 

 Europe, on which they combined busi- 

 ness and pleasure. 



The catalogue makers are getting busy. 

 While it is too early to fix prices in many 

 lines, the evident intention is to have the 

 books ready in time. * * The early bird 

 catches the worm." 



The canners are planning to use their 

 own get-away crops of peas for next 

 year's seed. The get-away crops were 

 more numerous than usual this season 

 because successional lots all came in to- 

 gether and the packers could not handle 

 them. 



Now that Freesia Purity is one of the 

 scarce items, on account of crop failure 

 in California, a good many growers are 

 finding out how badly they need this 

 variety and, incidentalh', seedsmen who 

 took orders they cannot now fill are hav- 

 ing their own troubles.
