English wholesale seed houses are 

 quoticg peas to American buyers at such 

 prices aa $6 to $7 per bushel for Gradus. 



The houses that have a big volume of 

 business booked months before the har- 

 vest of 1909 seed crops are wondering 

 where they are going to get the stock for 

 delivery. 



AccoEDiNG to the government crop re- 

 port for September 1, the condition of 

 com in Nebraska was 68, compared to 

 93 a month before and 80 as a ten-year 

 average for September 1. 



The special souvenir number of the 

 Dahlia News, published by the New Eng- 

 land Dahlia Society, Maurice Puld, secre- 

 tary, 5 Union street, Boston, contains a 

 list of the members of the organization. 



HOLLAND SEED CROPS. 



That seed crops in Holland are about 

 as in other parts of the world is shown 

 by the report just to hand from Sluis 

 & Groot, of Enkhuizen. All biennial 

 crops suffered severely during winter 

 and the weather during the growing sea- 

 son has been unfavorable for many of 

 the annuals. 



Cabbage, turnip and beet suffered es- 

 pecially and will be extremely poor crops. 

 Parsley was nearly all destroyed. Win- 

 ter radish was largely devastated, but 

 the remainder looks good; summer 

 radish is promising. Cauliflower gives 

 fair proniiso. Parsnip will be less than 

 an average crop. Corn-salad is a quar- 

 ter crop. Spinach has had a hard season 

 and is estimated at half a crop. Peas 

 have suffered by rains and beans will be 

 a small crop. 



Flower seeds made a good start, but 

 later unfavorable weather did much 

 harm. No more than average crops are 

 to be expected of anything, and Bome 

 varieties will yield decidedly under the 

 average, as verbena, centaurea, dianthus, 

 myosotis, phlox and wallflower. The 

 plantation of nasturtium is small, but 

 looks satisfactory. Petunia is an average 

 crop, as is lobelia. Mignonette is not 

 unpromising and antirrhinum, eschscholt- 

 zia and papaver are rather good. 



THE CROPS. 



The September crop report promul- 

 gated by the Department of Agriculture 

 about fulfilled expectations. The corn 

 indication was reduced to 2,648,846,000 

 bushels, comparing with 2,954,660,000 

 bushels a month ago. The average con- 

 dition of corn September 1 was 74.6, as 

 compared with 84.4 last month, 79.4 Sep- 

 tember 1, 1908, 80.2 September 1, 1907, 

 and 80.6, the ten year average for Sep- 

 tember 1.
