Chili and Mammoth Whale are very 

 short. 



"Gourds, with the exception of the 

 Nest Egg, are very short, or nearly 

 total failures. 



"The above will apply more particu- 

 larly to our crops, but I understand 

 other growers are receiving poor re- 

 ports from a number of their crops. I 

 find the crops we have grown under 

 irrigation this season will give us the 

 best results, and fortunately we had a 

 fair acreage of nearly all varieties of 

 cucumber and the varieties of musk- 

 melon we expect to fill in full under 

 irrigation, otherwise would have been 

 unable to make good deliveries on these 

 varieties." 



IMPOETS. 



The imports of seeds through the port 

 of New York for the week ending Octo- 

 ber 1 were as follows:

' In the same period the imports of 

 bulbs, trees and plants were valued at 

 $50,785. 



EVERYTHING SHORT. 



Jerome B. Eice, Cambridge, N. Y., 

 says that, as far as his observations go, 

 seed crops of all kinds are in short sup- 

 ply. "Pea seed is the shortest crop on 

 record," he says, "not only in this 

 country, but in Europe as well. Beans 

 will make a fair average crop; sweet 

 corn the same; vine seeds of all kinds 

 are on the short side, and almost all 

 other kinds of garden seeds are also 

 short. ' ' 



MICHIOAN VINE SEED CROPS. 



"We have been unusually favored by 

 freedom from frost so far this season," 

 say S. M. Isbell & Co., of Jackson, 

 Mich. "This is allowing a good many 

 of the vine crops to mature a great 

 deal more fruit than we could have 

 hoped for if frost had come as early 

 as usual. Under these conditions we are 

 expecting to have fairly good crops of 

 everything excepting tomato. This 

 crop has been under hard luck all the 

 season. In the spring, at time for set- 

 ting out plants, we had cold, unfavor- 

 able weather, and, in addition to this 

 handicap, such condition was favorable 



for damage by cutworms. This sort 

 of weather was followed by extreme 

 drought during the summer, and taking 

 all things together, we think we have 

 never seen a more unfavorable season 

 for tomatoes." 



ASTER A GOOD CROP. 



It is a novelty to meet a grower who 

 hasn 't a kick coming, but Charles H. 

 Vick, president of James Vick's Sons, 

 Rochester, is pleased with the prospect 

 for the aster seed crop. "It is very 

 promising at present," he says, "and 

 we will undoubtedly have a full crop 

 of very choice seed. The past season 

 has been very favorable. There is in 

 the neighborhood of 100 acres of asters 



planted in western New York, in the 

 vicinity of Eochester, annually for 

 seed. ' ' 



TOO WET FOR BEANS. 



Referring to his comment on the then 

 not unfavorable outlook for beans, pub- 

 lished in last week's issue of The Ee- 

 view, Arthur B. Clark, of Everett B. 

 Clark Seed Co., Milford, Conn., wrote 

 October 7: 



"I presume I ought to supplement 

 the crop report recently sent you, as it 

 now appears that recent frequent rains 

 have rendered it impossible to properly 

 cure the beans. This wet period came 

 on right in the middle of the bean har- 

 vest and is causing quite a loss and will 

 result in injuring the quality of the
