Henby a. Dreer, Philadelphia, has 

 been awarded tho contract for the sea- 

 son's bulbs for the parks at Albany, 

 N. Y. 



The Dutch biiib» appear to be of extra 

 good quality this year, in spite of the 

 bad weather a good part of the season 

 they were iu the ground. 



The French bulbs are about all in; 

 the last boat brought only 136 cases, 87 

 for E. M. Ward & Co. and 39 for a cus-

E. J. Deal, of W. W. Johnson & Son, 

 Ltd., Boston, England, sailed from New 

 York September 29 after a most satis- 

 factory tour among seedsmen as far west 

 as Denver. He was in Dallas and Minne- 

 apolis, as well. 



It is reported that a dozen of the lead- 

 ing wholesale seed firms in England have 

 an agreement to the effect that they wiU 

 not sell at prices lower than may be 

 mutually agreed upon, and that they will 

 not begin selling before an agreed date, 

 which lattor is considered an important 

 feature. 



The Leonard iSeed Co., Chicago, has 

 advices that heavy frost that visited 

 all the northwestern part of Michigan 

 about September 10 materially damaged 

 beans in the territory struck. There has 

 been damaging frost all through the 

 bean growing sections of Wisconsin, as 

 well as one or two heavy hail storms. 



.John Hodger and Mrs. Bodger, of 

 Gardena, (^'al.. were in Chicago this 

 week en route home from a summer in 

 Europe. They visited some of the larg- 

 est greenhouse establishments, the lead- 

 ing nursery and the L. A. Budlong onion 

 .set farm, where a five-gang gasoline 

 motor plow was seen in operation and 

 the venerable L. A. Budlong was found 

 in the enioyment of splendid health.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, 

 have bought a farm of forty acres three
