culture. Sweet peas are short with 

 nearly all growers. Inquiries are com- 

 ing in daily from this country and 

 Europe. Onion, which promised in June 

 to be a heavy crop, has fallen down 

 materially in yield at harvest time and 

 will not, when all is cleaned and 

 sacked, average a normal crop, the hot 

 weather during July having injured this 

 important crop at least twenty-five per 

 cent." 



HOLItAND'S SEED CROPS. 



Generally speaking, the weather has 

 been as unfavorable for seed crops in 

 Holland during almost the whole of the 

 last year as it has been in other seed- 

 growing sections of Europe. In the au- 

 tumn of 1909, heavy rains made difiS- 

 cult the tilling of the soil and, though 

 the winter was extremely mild, many 

 plants could not endure the long spell 

 of moisture, and rotted; moreover, the 

 absence of frosts made the soil ill 

 adapted for the planting of the more 

 delicate articles in spring. Spring 

 weather was favorable, but May and 

 June brought great heat, to the injury 

 of many articles. July again brought 

 rough weather and many crops suffered 

 from heavy winds and rains. 



Sluis & Groot, of Enkhuizen, say that 

 an early promise of fair crops of cab- 

 bage has been dissipated and that only 

 a middling crop is now in prospect. 

 Cauliflower promises a sufficient crop. 

 Turnips passed the winter well, but a 

 considerable part were destroyed by 

 floods. The remainder developed well 

 at the outset, but the sudden change of 

 temperature, coupled with the ravages 

 of insects, greatly reduced the number 

 of seed pods, so that the crops will not 

 be more than middling. A good crop 

 of swedes is expected and the small 

 acreage of kohlrabi promises a fair 

 crop. There will be an average crop of 

 mangel and sugar beet. Garden beets 

 look poor and the crop will be small. 

 A limited area of carrot looks well. 

 Parsnip will produce less than an aver- 

 age crop. There is a large acreage of 

 cornsalad. Badish promises well. 

 Onion will be a small crop, and of 

 parsley there will be less than an average 

 crop. Spinaches promise a good crop. 

 Peas will be poor, but beans are recov- 

 ering and can yield a good crop if 

 favorable weather continues. 



Nasturtium and pansies are among 

 the flower seeds that are yielding well. 

 Of petunia, verbena and phlox there 

 will be a good yield. Mignonette prom- 

 ises less than an average yield. Of 

 most of the other flower seeds, either 

 the areas planted were small or there 

 are open spaces in the fields. The har- 

 vest will doubtless be below the aver- 

 age in quality, but no serious short- 

 ages are in prospect. 



AMZI GODDEN'S CAPITAL RISE. 



The Amzi Godden Co., Birmingham, 

 Ala., has just increased its authorized 

 capital stock from $40,000 to $100,000 

 for the purpose of extending its busi- 

 ness. 



The Amzi Godden seed business was 

 started in 1857 and, though beset by 

 difficulties at first, pursued its way 

 through troublous times until it became 

 firmly established as one of Alabama's 

 permanent business institutions. In 

 1896 it became incorporated, then with 

 a capital of $15,000. The business grew 

 as the efforts of the officers became 

 more and more to be felt, and in 1901
