Already it develops that mixed gladi- 

 olus bulbs, and some of the named varie- 

 ties, are scarce. America appears to be 

 more plentiful than last year, but Au- 

 gusta is short. 



Fire destroyed a corn elevator at Min- 

 neapolis, December 21, belonging to the 

 Albert Dickinson Co. The loss is esti- 

 mated in press reports at from $90,000 

 to $125,000. 



A Tennessee correspondent states that 

 a few cow peas are being moved at about 

 $1.50 per bushel, but that there are be- 

 ginning to be rumors of a short supply 

 and holders are not anxious to sell. 



Most of the leading seed catalogues 

 are going into the mail this week. Some 

 sections of the south have already had 

 one or two books and the response is re- 

 ported to have been better than usual. 



C. C. Vale, of New Carlisle, O., is 

 carrying on a seed business in temporary 

 quarters in a canning building near 

 town, but will soon move into town and 

 he is planning to erect a modern building 

 for his own use next spring. 



The 1913 catalogue of H. G. Hastings 

 & Co., Atlanta, was the first of the 

 southern books to reach The Eeview. It 

 came to hand December 21. The Hastings 

 catalogue is printed and mailed at St. 

 Augustine, Fla. 



There has turned out to be a light 

 crop of soy beans in the Tennessee dis- 

 trict and the growers are holding for 

 higher prices. Few had been moved prior 

 to Christmas and the farmers were re- 

 ported holding for $3 a bushel. The 

 quality is excellent. 



Burpee's Annual for 1913 came to 

 hand December 21. It is in the usual 

 form. The prices on the scarce items 

 are interesting; some of them follow the 

 wholesale list so closely that, to say the 

 least, they give no opportunity for a 

 charge of taking undue advantage of con- 

 ditions. 



E. E. Stewart, Eives Junction, Mich., 

 has purchased a tract of 220 acres of 

 rich farming land near Brooklyn, Mich., 

 where he will continue his business of 

 growing gladioli for the wholesale 

 trade. He will build a large concrete 

 storage house for the proper handling 

 of the bulbs. His postoffice address 

 after March 15 will be Brooklyn, Mich. 



Frank G. Cuthbertson, in a letter 

 published by one of the British trade 

 papers, denies the statement of an Eng- 

 lish grower who said that "sweet pea 

 growers in California had not fully ap- 

 preciated the importance of roguing the 

 crops so as to get them true to type." 

 Mr. Cuthbertson says that the Spencers
