elated over their prospects for large acre- 

 ages at good prices. The catalogue of 

 Hciny A. Dreer Corporation is a beauty; 

 in it they excell all previous efforts; it 

 requires Vc to mail it. Nearly all other 

 seed ciitalogues issued here show big im- 

 prnveiiients over last season. The price 

 of White Spine cucumber varies greatly; 

 some list it at $1.25 and others at $2.50 

 per pound in their retail lists. 



Des Moines, Iowa. — The Pease Gar- 

 den and Nursery Co. are rebuilding and 

 expect to be sufficiently recovered from 

 their serious fire in October to handle 

 their usual spring business. The past 

 season was a poor one for seed crops 

 in this section and prices will rule high- 

 er. Indications point to a good trade the 

 coming season, and a slight increase in 

 acreage for seed crops. 



JIanitowoc, Wis. — The Manitowoc 

 Seed Co. has been incorporated with 

 a capital stock of .$20,000. The incor- 

 porators are Albert Guttman, Geo. L. 

 Born and Gustav E. Alter. Fire did 

 $100 damage at the establishment of the 

 Madson Seed Co. Jan. 2. It was due 

 to a gas explosion and there was a panic 

 among the employes, but all escaped 

 without injury. 



Messrs. W. W. Barnard & Co., 

 Cliicago, who were unfortunate enough 

 to lose many catalogue electrotypes in 

 a fire at their printer's, happened to 

 have good page proofs of many of the 

 pages of their new catalogue and by 

 having these photo-engraved, will be 

 enabled to get out their catalogue with 

 but little delay. 



St. Paul. — Recent callers were W. H. 

 Small, of Evansville, Ind., and W. H. 

 Grenell and A, T. Ferrell, of Saginaw, 

 Mich. Foreign shipments are now ar- 

 riving quite freely and there is great 

 activity in shipping early orders. L. L. 

 May & Co. have issued their catalogue 

 and are mailing it to their customers. 



The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, 

 Ohio, says: "We are more and more 

 convinced of the scarcity of the best 

 grade of tomato seed, especially of can- 

 ners' sorts. Very few offers from the 

 back door of canneries is a feature of 

 this season. Higher prices will likely 

 be necessary soon." 



Harry N. Hammoxd, of Bay City, 

 Mich., is in Chicago arranging for his 

 catalogue printing, which work was orig- 

 inally in the hands of The Review & 

 Herald Publishing Co., Battle Creek, 

 Mich., whose plant was destroyed by fire. 



Rochester, Mich. — .J. H. McCotter, 

 who was for years superintendent of the 

 Ferry seed farm, near Pontiac, Mich., 

 will have charge of the new farm recent- 

 ly purchased by the Ferry Co., near this 

 city. 



Kansas City, Mo. — J. G. Peppard re- 

 ports that his seed business of 1902 

 showed a gain of 20 per cent over that 

 of 1901. 



The personal soliciting of orders 

 among market gardeners about Chicago 

 is now being pu.shed by the local seed 

 houses. 



Chas. p. Braslan visited Chicago en- 

 route for a short trip to the East. 



Onion seed is being offered very low 

 to onion set growers.
