<Onion is one of the few items about 

 wliich the trade is doing no worrying. 

 It looks as thongli there will be enough to 

 g(i around. 



European journals report the death, 

 August 27, of Wm. Leighton, a Glasgow 

 seedsman who is well known on that side 

 of the Atlantic. 



The obituary column this week con- 

 tains notice of the death of Mrs, Charles 

 Dickinson, wife of the vice-president of 

 the Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago. 



The weather is not favorable to corn, 

 which, generally speaking, is late. Good, 

 warm, Indian summer will add materially 

 to the supply of sweet corn of good qual- 

 ity for seed. 



James Vick's Sons, Rochester, oiforecl 

 several hundreds of dollars in prizes for 

 stock grown from their seeds and ex- 

 hibited at the New York State Fair at 

 Syracuse last week. Much satisfaction 

 with the outcome is expressed. 



In the primary September 15, J. C. 

 Vaughan secured the democratic nomi- 

 nation for congress in the second Illi- 

 nois district, ilefeating by 296 votes the 

 candidate who had the organization back- 

 ing. It is said he now will make an 

 active campaign to cut down the plurality 

 of the republican incumbent. James K. 

 Mann, of pure seed bill fame, whose 

 party at the same primary polled 13,318 

 votes as compared with 3,634 for the 

 democratic candidates. 



The United States govenuiieiit always 

 lias classed as nursery stock all imports 

 of bulbs and all imports of certain plants 

 handled only by florists, such as palms, 

 azaleas and orchids; but the Department 

 of Commerce and Labor in 1909 sepa- 

 rated "orchids, palms, dracaenas, crotons, 

 azaleas, tulip and other bulbs, bulbous 

 roots or corms cultivated for their flow- 

 ers ' ' from ' ' other plants, trees, shrubs or 

 vines," and found that the imports of 

 the former aggregated an invoice value 

 of $954,399, or almost half the total of 

 "all nursery stock," in which these seed 

 trade and florists ' items still are included. 

 The completed figures by countries from 

 which the imports came will be found on 

 page 52 of this copy of The Eeview.

The canning industry is beginning to 

 wake up to a realization of the shortage 

 of peas, sweet corn and tomatoes. 



Secretaky Kendel has mailed to mem- 

 bers the printed report of the twenty- 

 eighth annual convention of the Amer- 

 ican Seed Trade Association, held at At- 

 lantic City in June. It is a vohime of 

 142 pages, full of matter the knowledge 

 of which means money to any man en- 

 gaged in the soed trade. 



Word comes from Holland that the 

 export houses had their shipments prac- 

 tically all out two weeks earlier than last 

 year, due to early lifting and favorable 

 conditions for curing. The tulips not 

 required for advance orders are said to be 

 going slowly, though many fill-in or re- 

 peat orders are expected later, but the 

 late-flowering and Darwin varieties are in 

 request and selling at better prices than 

 last year. Narcissi were a good crop. 

 Double Von Sion are in demand and 

 worth high prices for good sized bulbs.
