 O. O., June 28 to 26, 1914. 



This has been an excellent season, 

 both for onion seeds and onion sets, ac- 

 cording to Schilder Bros., of Chillicothe, 

 Ohio. 



Charles N. Page, president of the 

 Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, is spending 

 a few weeks camping in the Ozarks in the 

 hope of improving his health. 



Apparently there is "something do- 

 ing" in French Romans. One report is 

 that large sizes will be scarce and an- 

 other that conditions are normal, while a 

 large exporter considers it advisable to 

 . cable his agents in this country to stop 

 selling. 



Mrs. H. B. Fullerton, Medford, L. I., 

 is chairman of the committee which is 

 arranging for a women's agricultural 

 conference at the Pennsylvania School 

 of Horticulture for Women, Ambler, Pa. 

 The date is to be May 16. -One of the 

 speakers is to be Mrs. Francis King, for 

 whom the gladiolus was named. 



The U. S. Civil Service Commission 

 will hold an examination at Chicago, and 

 a large number of other places through- 

 out the country, June 3 to secure eligibles 

 for appointments as laboratory aids in 

 seed testing in the Bureau of Plant In- 

 dustry, Department of Agriculture, at 

 Washington at $720 a year salary. 



It is estimated that the Southern 

 Pacific will need 5,000 cars to move the 

 west coast cantaloupe crop to eastern and 

 southern markets. The Southern Pacific 

 expects this season to carry to the east 

 from southern California alone close to 

 72,000,000 cantaloupes. The first train' 

 load of cantaloupes will move east about 

 May 20. 



Changing from an association to a 

 corporation, S. W. Flower & Co., of 

 Toledo, 0., is now the S. W. Flower Co. 

 Its capitalization is $100,000. The in- 

 corporators are Charles S. Burge, John 

 A. Smith, Richard Sheldon, R. G. Burge 

 and L. M. Burlingame. The last two 

 were taken into the company in reward 

 for their services of the last twelve years 

 with the seed concern. 



The seed trade is interested in what 

 is happening to the insecticide manu- 

 facturers. Everybody recognizes that 

 the aims of the leading houses are above 

 suspicion, but the factory hands fall 

 down when it comes to getting into the 

 package the things the label says should 

 be found there. Then the boss is pil- 

 loried. What, then, would be the fate 

 of a seedsman who stood between a strict 

 law and a "to err is human" force of 

 assistants? Modern business conditions 

 do not permit employing high priced, 

 skilled labor in handling cheap com- 

 modities.
