The Germans have an excellent crop of 

 pansy seed this year. • 



The Long Island seed growing section 

 had three weeks of heat and drought, 

 broken by good rains July 11. 



J. E. W. Ti^OY, of the U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, is making a tour of 

 inspection of the California seed crops. 



De. E. 0. PiEPER, Mrs. Braslan's 

 brother, is now president and general 

 manager of the Braslan Seed Growers' 

 Co., San Jose, Cal. 



Hans von Dippe and Carl Elche, Jr., 

 of Quedlinburg, Germany, are visiting 

 the California seed growing districts. 

 Mr. Dippe is of the firm of Dippe Bros. 

 Both gentlemen expressed themselves as 

 delighted with the seed growing opera- 

 tions they had seen as regards culture, 

 but thought all crops showed evidence of 

 shortage. 



One of the largest importers of Har- 

 risii bulbs, supplying jobbers, is advising 

 his customers that the crop in Bermuda 

 is turning out one of the shortest ever 

 harvested, asserting that there is not 

 over forty to tff ty per cent of an average 

 crop of 7 to 9s and that many must 

 consider themselves fortunate to have 

 their original orders filled, without get- 

 ting anything on second orders. 



Those who are close observers of con- 

 ditions at Washington believe that there 

 is little likelihood of anything being done 

 on postal matters at this session of Con- 

 gress. The radical Bourne plan may get 

 through the Senate as a compliment to 

 its author, but it could only do so under 

 a certainty that it would be knocked out 

 in the conference committee. Neither the 

 Senate nor the House cares to pass, on 

 the eve of election, any bill so an- 

 tagonistic to business interests as is 

 the Bourne plan. 



"The prospects of peas in Canada 

 have been, until lately, pretty good, 

 especially for the varieties sown during 

 the warm weather the beginning of 

 May, but on account of the extremely 

 dry weather of the last four weeks the 

 prospects are not so good at the pres- 

 ent time and if the dry weather con- 

 tinues we shall have in the best case 

 a medium crop, but we think that we 

 shall have below medium," according 

 to Bow Park Farm, Brantford, which 

 is Canada's largest seed and experi- 

 mental farm. 



Ceosman Beos. Co., Eochester, whose 

 business almost entirely is wholesale, 

 says that orders this season exceeded in 

 number those of 1910-11, and this refers 

 both to first orders and to orders to re- 

 plenish supply. The short crop of peas 

 made a considerable difference in the ag- 

 gregate, as they were obliged to cut out 

 any further sales of peas in a general 

 way after the first part of October; peas 

 "being one of the principal features in 

 the seed trade is apt to make considerable 

 difference in the financial results," says 

 C. W. Crosman. "Not only were peas a 

 short crop, commanding high prices later 

 in the season, but many other varieties 

 of seeds were scarce and high. We sin-
