SEED TRADE TOPICS. 



The consensus of opinion seems to 

 be that the season just closing has been 

 a very satisfactory one to the seed 

 trade. Had it not been for the severe 

 slump in March this would have been 

 a record year. Even with this handi- 

 cap there does not seem to be much 

 reason for complaint. 



Leading seed men are finding it dif- 

 ficult to secure reliable help during 

 their busy season. Competent men 

 have permanent positions and cannot 

 be expected to leave them and enter 

 the seed business for a few months in 

 view of the salaries which most of the 

 seedsmen think they can afford to pay. 

 To be a really up-to-date efficient 

 seedsman requires a high order of in- 

 telligence, and the business cannot be 

 learned in a few weeks either. It is a 

 most perplexing problem. 



Seed growers in the east generally 

 are complaining of a lack of rain. It 

 is yet too early to say that crops have 

 suffered any material damage, but a 

 stage has been reached where rain 

 must come soon or deterioration will 

 begin. What with severe frosts, forest 

 fires and drouth, Michigan and Wis- 

 consin have suffered more or less, and 

 rain is badly needed to prevent seri- 

 ous damage to the pea crop. 



The seed trade of Indianapolis 

 seems in need of a tonic. J. A. Ever- 

 itt's seed business was closed out 

 under receiver's sale not many months 

 ago, and was bought by a brother, 

 Wm. H. Everitt, but it is generally be- 

 lieved J. A. Everitt's money paid for it. 

 After wrestling with his purchase for 

 several months, Wm. H. suddenly 

 took French leave, and it is again in 

 the hands of a receiver. Mr. J. A. 

 Everitt through the receiver offers it 

 for sale at a bargain, and will throw 

 in his good will. Many affect to regard 

 this last as a somewhat negligible 

 quantity, and as an asset rather diffi- 

 cult to realize on. 



W. W. Rawson & Co. have secured 

 the building at corner of North and 

 Union streets, Boston, and will re- 

 move from their old location, which 

 they had temporarily fitted up after
