The Elliott Nursery Co., Pittsburg, 

 Pa., is preparing to establish a seed de- 

 partment. 



A Ventura grower writes that the 

 Henderson Bush limas are scattering out, 

 entailing an appreciable loss. 



The seed trade at Kansas City is re- 

 ported increasing at an extremely r.apid 

 rate ; possibly more rapidly than at points 

 east of the Mississippi, 



The bean growers have not been 

 pleased with the recent weather — too 

 cloudy and cool to assist materially in 

 the maturing of the crop. 



Vine seed crops will not be up to the 

 average, for there is a great deal of 

 difference in what different fields, even 

 in the same neighborhood, will turn out. 



It is reported ninety per cent of the 

 corn crop in Iowa has been made, with 

 the probability tliat in other sections an 

 equal proportion of the crop is beyond 

 frost injury. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 has issued a bulletin. No. 415, entitled 

 "Seed Corn," by C. P. Hartley, physiol- 

 ogist in charge of corn investigations in 

 the Bureau of Plant Industry. 



H. Frank Darkow states that Alfred 

 Emerich, representing Vilmorin, Andri- 

 eux & Co., Paris, France, is expected to 

 arrive in New York about October 1, 

 on his annual visit to the American seed 

 trade. 



Later reports from the lima bean dis- 

 trict of California state that the big 

 rain of September 14 and 15 was fol- 

 lowed by good drying weather and the 

 damage to the crop has not been as large 

 as it was feared it might be. 



Bulb merchants note that an excep- 

 tionally large number of small importa- 

 tions are coming in this year, lots of just 

 a few cases consigned through custom 

 house brokers to bulb forcers who never 

 before have made direct importations. 

 It appears that through travelers and by 

 mail orders the Holland exporters added 

 considerably to their list of customers 

 this season.

DUTY ON BULBS. 



The Board of General Appraisers, 

 September 22, in a decision by Judge 

 Waite, handed down decisions placing 

 constructions on the provisions in the 

 tariff act of 1909, relating to bulbs of 

 various kinds. The Leonard Seed Co., 

 Vaughau's Seed Store and G. W. Shel- 

 don & Co. appeared as protestants in 

 cases affecting the classification of hya- 

 cinth bulbs. The customs authorities 

 had assessed the bulbs under paragraph 

 263 of the Payne tariff, which provides 

 for ' ' hj-acinth, astilbe, dielytra, and lily 

 of the valley clumps." This classifica- 

 tion called for a duty of $2.50 per thou- 

 sand bulbs, whereas the importers con- 

 tended that the merchandise should be 

 admitted at only 50 cents a thousand 

 under the last clause of the same para- 

 graph as, ' ' all other bulbs cultivated for 

 their flowers or foliage." Judge Waite 

 followed the decision in the Breck case, 

 published in The Review of August 25, 

 and overruled the protests. 



Judge Waite also overruled a protest
