Seed Trade News. 



J'liiLADELPHiA. — Walter P. Stokes 

 thinks the prospects for next; season's 

 business are very briglit. The conditions 

 are the most remarkable in his experi- 

 ence of twenty-live years. The farmers 

 and truck growers, both here and in the 

 West, made nioniy last season, and have 

 confidence to increase their sowing. The 

 shortage in seed of certain varieties is a 

 serious obstacle. Early varieties of peas 

 have suffered severely; also some of the 

 best novelties in other vegetables. One 

 case was instanced where 1,200 pounds 

 of seed had been ordered with the expec- 

 tation of receiving at least 1,000 pounds; 

 not even 200 pounds will be forthcoming. 

 It is probable, Mr. Stokes says, that the 

 use of less popular kinds -nill help fill 

 the shortage in some varieties, and 

 heavier sowing of varieties obtainable 

 will further relieve the situation. He 

 feels, however, that it will be impossible 

 to fully satisfy the demand and that 

 prices will naturally advance over those 

 of last season. In view of these facts, 

 coming from such a source, every seed 

 buyer should consult his seedsman about 

 next season's supply in good time. 



Phil. 



Baltimore.— The Griffith & Turner 

 Company says: "Tliere appears to be 

 quite an awakening among the farmers 

 and truckers in this section, judging 

 from the brisk demand for seeds so 

 early in the season, and the outlook for 

 a good business in this line for the on- 

 suing year seems very bright. But there 

 is a scarcity in some kinds of stock 

 seeds, more especially with wax beans, 

 cucumljors and rauskmclons, and prices 

 will be high. It was at one time thought 

 that the supply of seed peas would l>e 

 short, but later reports are more en- 

 couraging. Crops have been good and 

 brought good prices, and the planters 

 feel encouraged. Vegetables were of finer 

 quality than has been the case for some 

 years, owing, we think, more particular- 

 ly to absence of the destroying insects. 

 Tlie pea louse, which has been so de- 

 structive, has almost entirely disap- 

 peared. Because of good crops, good 

 prices and comparative freedom from the 

 insect pest, the planters are intending 

 increasing their acreage for another 

 year." 



Troy, X. Y. — The pumpkin seed croo 

 looks very dubious for us around here. 

 The farmers in our immediate vicinity 

 usually have a, large surplus of "Conn. 

 Keld" pumpkin, but this year the crop 

 is as short as it was last seascn. We 

 have thoroughly canvassed this section 

 of the countrv', but can find iio pumpkin 

 seed for sale at any price. At tlie can- 

 ning factories farmers are receiving more 

 than twice as much for their pumpkins 

 as in former years. Recent visitors: 



James B. Kidd, with Cox Seed Co., San 

 Francisco; Mr. Sloan, of D. L. Sloan & 

 Son. Palo Alto, Cal.; John E, Goewey, 

 of D. Landreth & Son, Philade'phia. 



Ottawa, Ont. — Graham Bros, say that 

 in the pea district a hundred miles west 

 of here, both peas and beans are exceed- 

 ingly scarce. Timothy, which is produced 

 in considerable quantities in the Prov- 

 ince of Quebec, is not threshed out yet. 

 Tlie price follows Chicago quotations. 

 Clovers, lx)th Early Red and Alsike, in 

 the clover district about two hundred 

 miles west of here, are this season a fair 

 crop and quality good. It is said that 

 the demand for export to Europe is 

 heavy. 



Philadelphia. — Charles H. IMacKub- 

 bin says that his Arm, Henry A. I>reer, 

 e.xpect to be able to meet the demand for 

 nearly all vegetable seeds next season, 

 except early peas, wax beans and cucum- 

 bers. On these three he fears a short- 

 age, especially on cucumbers. He does 

 not think the advance in prices will de- 

 ter the market from buying seed, al- 

 though it may somewhat influence their 

 choice of varieties and will make them 

 more cautious. Speaking of market gar- 

 dening, Mr. MacKubbin said that, while 

 the very large profits of a few years ago 

 could hardly be made todaj-, the business 

 was a good one, yielding a fair margin 

 of profit to the successful growers. 



Visited Chicago — J. M. Kimberlin, 

 Santa Clara, Cal.; J. R. Home, of Cox 

 Seed Co., San Francisco: C. X. Page, of 

 Iowa Seed Co., DesMoines, lo. 



Charles P. Braslan, of the Braslan 

 Seed (Jrower A.s.sociation, San .Jose, Cal., 

 was suddenly taken sick with congestion 

 of the lungs at Atchison, Kas. Mrs. 

 Olga Bra.slan and two doctors are look- 

 ing after the patient.
