SEED TRADE. 



J. M. Thorburn & Co. are busy fit- 

 ting up and moving into their new 

 store on Barclay street, New York. 

 The enterprising head of this reli- 

 able old house promises to show the 

 buys what an up-to-date retail seed 

 sine should be, and the present 

 plans which are rapidly taking form 

 will make this the handsomest seed 

 store in America and the largest for 

 retail purposes. It extends from Bar- 

 clay street through to Park Place. 

 The main retail department will be 

 on Barclay street and the receiving 

 and shipping will be done from the 

 Park Place side. 



Truck farming on Long Island, N. 

 Y.. is on the decline. For three years 

 a wild real estate boom has had the 

 western end of the island in its grip, 

 thousands of acres of the finest 

 trucking lands in this country have 

 been sold to speculators and closed 

 to production; prices have advanced 

 far beyond values and a reaction is 

 bound to come. In a few instances 

 values are not fictitious and will prob- 

 ably still further advance, but in the 

 main they are out of all reason, and 

 when one realizes the thousands of 

 acres of fine lands rendered useless 

 by this speculative craze, it almost 

 makes him sigh for Henry George 

 and the single tax. The decline in 

 truck farming is already severely- 

 felt by New York and Long Island 

 seed dealers. New York may yet 

 experience a famine in "garden sass."
