. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. Onions for seed in Ohio are not look- ing any too well. Beans are looking fine to date. Weather conditions from planting to late June were ideal. There have been good rains in parts of Michigan and Wisconsin. Not all the peas will have been hard hit by heat. The weather has been extremely dry and hot for over a month in the prin- cipal seed growing sections of the middle west. The death of Sam Sibley, for many years traveler for the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, is recorded in this week's obit- uary coliunn. J. W. Edmundson, of the California Seed Growers' Association, San Jose, Cal., spent July 1 in Chicago, en route home from the seed trade convention. The temperature at Sacramento June 30 was 92 degrees in the shade with a 16-mile wind. The damage to the crops up the river must have been considerable. Reports from Holland at the begin- ning of June, when lifting of tulips had been begun, were not of optimistic char- acter. Crops will not be up to last year. The onion set crop at Chillicothe is not any too flourishing. Harvesting has been begun at LouisvUle. At Chicago the present outlook is for not over half a crop, less if rain is long delayed. The board of public works of Evans- ville, Ind., temporarily turned down the petition of the Ohio Valley Seed Co., for a switch from the Southern Eailway tracks into its property on Indiana and Eowley streets. Contrary to all early expectations, the turnip seed crop at Nashville, Tenn., has proven almost a failure. Just as the plants were in full bloom, there was a freeze that caused blighting and just be- fore maturity the aphis got on them so badly that there were some fields unfit to cut at all. The leading grower there is said to be delivering ten per cent on his contracts. From present indications there will be a short crop of cow peas, even if there should be plenty of rain from now until the end of the season. There are many fields that have already started to die.
