The John IT. Allan Seed Company, a 

 \r» 5 iii k I'm poration, oi which B. M. 

 Parmelee, of Sheboygan, is president, 

 having n capital stock of $50,000, of 

 which not more than $55,000 is repre- 

 sented in Wisconsin, has filed articles I" 

 operate in that state. 



Advance price lists from the east ask 

 fair values fur ehuiee stocks. Wax lieaus 

 are u here the old-timers think they ought 

 to lie, and altogether wholesale price lists 

 seem to be more in accordance with a 

 fair margin of profit than they have been 

 for some time. 



The market for clover seed is just be- 

 ginning to show its annual activity. Con- 

 tracl grade is now bringing $10.65 to 

 $10.75 per 100 lbs. at. Chicago. Experts 

 claim that the crop is going to be consid- 

 erably smaller than last year, though 



some states — and Illinois is o if them 



— report, a slightly larger yield. 



Among the novelties offered this sea- 

 son by Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co., Paris, 

 France, is Cauliflower Incomparable, re- 

 sembling Autumn Giant, but earlier; 

 Three-Podded pea, resembling the well 

 known French pea, Clamart, largely 

 grown around Paris for canning pur- 

 poses, early, pods well filled and usually 

 produced in trebles; Globe Artichoke Per- 

 petual, so named because in the south of 

 France it affords heads nearly all the 

 year around, unusually early in any dis- 

 trict. 



Philadelphia : — The demand for 

 beans from the south is anile heavy, with 

 a very light supply. Orders for some of 

 the most popular varieties have had to be 

 turned down on account of no stock. 

 Much inquiry is being made for cucumber 

 and tomato seed and some of the large 

 planters are already buying their stock 

 for spring's planting. This is evidently 

 a judicious move on their part. Just 

 what to do for vine seeds is a very per- 

 plexing question. Really good Colorado 

 grown Eocky Ford canteloupe seed is 

 not going to be so chean after all. Much 

 of the seed gathered from melons spoiled 

 for fruit by early frost has been found 

 to have sprouted in the fruit and the 

 subsequent cleansing process has removed 

 all traces of the sprout and the seed to 

 all appearances looks perfect, althougl 

 valueless for seed. This seed is beim" 

 offered by some sources as low as 10 

 cents per pound. A strictly reliable 

 grade is worth from 200 to 300 per 

 cent higher. All fields of large and late 

 maturing melons planted in the vicinity 

 of Philadelphia were a complete loss. A" 

 lines of bulbs are moving very rapidly 

 and it looks as though stocks will be 

 well cleaned up before the end of the sea-
