The Gastonia Seed & Provision Co., 

 of Gastonia, N. C, has been incorporated, 

 with a capital of $10,000, by A. C. 

 Stroup, E. G. McLurd and others. 



The Lake Erie Seed Co., of Buffalo, 

 N. Y., has instituted suit against the 

 Pennsylvania and Nickel Plate railroads 

 with reference to a track crossing at the 

 seed company's Lackawanna plant. It is 

 alleged that a farm crossing was pro- 

 vided in a deed of 1881, but that the 

 railroads have recently closed the cross- 

 ing, compelling the seed company to 

 carry its goods over by hand. 



W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, 

 have just issued a revised edition of 

 their monograph by G. W. Kerr, entitled 

 "Sweet Peas Up-to-date." Twfenty-four 

 pages have been added to the original 

 work, containing a list of all the sweet 

 peas introduced since the original edition 

 in 1910. In the introduction to the ap- 

 pendix it is stated that "We have for 

 the last four years been hybridizing the 

 original winter-flowering varieties with 

 the finest Spencers, with a view to evolv- 

 ing a new race of winter-flowering Spen- 

 cers, and we are now able to say that 

 we have accomplished this even beyond 

 our most sanguine expectation, as we, 

 have now winter-flowering Spencers in 

 many exquisite colors, though it may be 

 a year or so before we have sufficient 

 stock to offer to the public. Our sep- 

 arate selections of this new race last 

 year number 220, the results of the first 

 two years' crosses alone. As this new 

 type will be of inestimable value to cut 

 flower growers, we anticipate a great 

 demand for it, as it will entirely super- 

 sede the varieties now grown under glass 

 for winter and spring flowering."
