The bean crop has made rather good 

 progress recently, but there is no chance 

 for other than a bad shortage. 



Deuveries of peas still are in doubt; 

 every lot gives a different result, but 

 practically all are bad or worse. 



Harrisii bulbs are cleaning up well, 

 except, perhaps, iii the smaller sizes, 

 the season's crops having turned out 

 Ught. 



J. C. Vaughax is a candidate for the 

 democratic nomination for congress at 

 today's primary in the second Illinois 

 district. 



There is danger of frost injury to the 

 sweet corn in the west. The crop is late, 

 little progress has been made in the last 

 week, and every day now counts heavily 

 for or against the crop. 



The Treasury Department of the 

 United States has declined to accept the 

 recent decision of the Board of General 

 Appraisers involving the question of al- 

 lowance for dirt and other impurities 

 in importations of castor seeds, and has 

 directed that an appeal be taken to the 

 United States Court of Customs Appeals. 



EiNAR Knutsson, who is in this coun- 

 try representing Hartmann & Co., Copen- 

 hagen seed growers, was a passenger 

 September 8 on the first through passen- 

 ger train on the Long Island railroad 

 to be started out of the great new Penn- 

 sylvania station in New York city. He 

 was on his way to visit the Long Island 

 cauliflower growers, and the circumstance 

 of being one of the first of the public 

 to ride through the new tunnels caused 

 him to be interviewed by the reporters 

 for the New York dailies. 



GERMAN OBASS SEED BEFOBT. 



Annually at the end of August Con- 

 rad Appel, whose seed business at 

 Darmstadt, Germany, was established 

 in 1789, issues a report on the grass 

 seed crops. As a preface to a report 

 on each of the principal varieties he 

 says: "The warm weather in April 

 and partly in May influenced maturing 

 of our home grown natural grass seeds 

 to some extent and one could reckon

with a good, early and satisfactory 

 yield this season. But these expecta- 

 tions have been diminished by the very 

 unfavorable weather conditions, with 

 continuous rains in June and July. 

 Harvesting of some sorts has been de- 

 layed and the quantity and quality 

 of this season's crops are lessened. 

 Many lots are discolored and dark, 

 containing a good deal of weeds, and 

 are of light weight. Under the cir- 

 cumstances one has to pay special at- 

 tention to the buying and selecting of 

 best qualities." Save for Festuca 

 elatior, F. duriuscula, F. ovina and F. 

 heterophylla and Poa trivialis, the crops 

 thus far secured are reported at least 

 as good as last year, but in many cases 

 first quality seeds will command a pre- 

 mium. Crimson clover is a short crop 

 and the expectations of a large yield 

 of yellow trefoil have been upset by 

 wet weather. Otherwise the clovers 

 promise an average yield in European 

 countries, save that France has little 

 red clover. In that country there is 

 prospect of a good crop of alfalfa.
