Thirtieth annual convention, Chicago, June 26 to 

 37, 1S12. 



Howard M. Earl, of W. Atlee Burpee 

 & Co., Philadelphia, expects to get away 

 within the next few days for his annual 

 trip to California. 



CiEORGE R. Pedru'K, wife and daughter, 

 who have been spending the winter in 

 Florida, have returned to their home at 

 Pedricktown, N. J. 



The growing of bulbs of Lilium llar- 

 risii from seeds has advanced far enough 

 on the Pacific coast so that a grower 

 there is able to oft'er bulbs of commer- 

 cial size and in commercial quantities 

 for autumn delivery. 



The cool weather is prolonging the seed 

 selling season to an unusual degree. The 

 business has been steadier this season 

 than usual, due, many think, to the fact 

 that the weather has been colder than 

 normal most of the time. 



W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, 

 say the mail order season just closing 

 was not only extrenlely satisfactory but 

 the largest they ever have had, in spite 

 of the handicaps of bad weather and 

 shortage in many important lines. 



A VOICE FROM MONTANA. 



Enclosed please find $1, for which 

 kindly extend my subscription for one 

 year for The Review. 1 get many times 

 its cost from the pages of The Review 

 devoted to the seed trade and would not 

 know how to get along without the in- 

 formation and reports on crop prospects 

 which you publish and which 1 find re- 

 liable and impartial. 



I am increasing my acreage this year 

 very considerably in peas, beans and 

 early sweet corn,' and have great confi- 

 dence in this section to develop earli- 

 ness and table qualities as well as the 

 highest possible degree of viability. It 

 has been necessary, however, to pay 

 higher prices here than we used to pay 

 back east to get the right parties inter- 

 ested, but we have confidence that the 

 increased yields will justify our locat- 

 ing here. Macomb B. Gray.

SWEET COBN FOB SEED. 



[Continued from Ihe Issue of April 26 and May 2.1 

 Sweet-Porn seed is usually of lower 

 vitality than that of field sorts, and 

 planting should be delayed until the 

 soil is well prepared, warm, and dry, 

 special care being taken that the seed 

 is not covered too deep. The small- 

 growing, extra-early sorts, like Cory, 

 Crosby, etc., may be planted in drills 

 as close as three feet apart or in hills 

 three feet apart each way and so as 

 to secure from four to eight plants to 

 the yard of drill or three or four plants 

 to tiie hill. 



The stronger growing sorts, like 

 Evergreen and ('ountry Gentleman, 

 partly because of their greater liability 

 to abundant suckering, need even more 

 room than most varieties of field corn 

 and should be planted in drills forty- 

 two to sixty inches apart or in hills the
