SEED TRADE. j 



Mr. Earl of Burpee's, Philadelpliia. 

 started for California on August 25 to i 

 review the onion and other late crops. 



Wm. B. Hughes and Augustus Voge- ' 

 ler of Salt Lake City are about to 

 start in tlie seed, produce and com- 

 mission business at Twin Falls, Idaho. ' 



The sweet pea trade is reported as 

 booming. The American and Euro- 

 pean demand are alike brisk and some 

 of the leading stocks are already 

 cleaned out. 



At a meeting of the directors of the 

 Dakota Improved Seed Co. on August 

 14, it was decided to postpone the com- 

 pletion of their seed house until the 

 spring.

READY NOW 



Advices from Germany indicate poor 

 outlook for dower seed crops on ac- 

 count of cold rainy weather during 

 June, .Inly, and August. Prices there 

 will undoubtedly be higher than last 

 year.

With the exception of meadow fox- 

 tail, which p;omist-s a larger yield and 

 somewhat easier prices, every other 

 European grass seed has given a 

 shorter, in certain cases even far 

 shorter crops, and higher prices than 

 last season are sure to prevail, especi- 

 ally for fancy grades which in some 

 cases will be fifty per cent, higher.
