SEED TRADE. 



Within the past ten days abundant 

 rains have fallen in Michigan, so 

 abundant, in fact, as to be a source 

 of great anxiety to farmers and seed 

 growers. "One extreme follows an- 

 other" has proved true in this case at 

 least, as reports from the "Thumb." 

 where from 20,000 to 40.000 bushels of 

 peas and beans are planted, indicate 

 that it is or has been under water to 

 a considerable extent. Conditions are 

 quite similar to those of last year at 

 about this time, and which resulted in 

 reducing the crop fully 50 per cent. 

 Keep your eye on the "Thumb." Corn 

 is not doing well as weather on the 

 whole has been too cool and dry. As 

 yet there are no reports of serious 

 damage to general seed crops except- 

 ing the annual scare from California, 

 which hardly awakens interest these 

 days. 



Those desiring rooms at the Boody 

 House, the official headquarters during 

 the coming convention of the Ameri- 

 can Seed Trade Association, should 

 apply at once, as this hostelry is of 

 somewhat limited capacity. Toledo 

 needs a new hotel. 



Those who like to travel by water, 

 and are going to the coming conven- 

 tion at Toledo, can have this pleasure. 

 Eastern seedsmen can go by rail to 

 Buffalo and thence by steamer to De- 

 troit, whence they can go by steam or 

 electric railroad to Toledo in about 

 two hours. The steamers leave Buf- 

 falo about 5.30 p. m. daily, arriving at 

 Detroit next morning. They are larg J 

 and magnificent boats, and the trip is 

 a delightful one.
