Seed Trade News. 



Springfield, O. — Sclimidt & Botley re- 

 port that the demand for seeds is much 

 j,'reater so far this year than it has 

 been in pervious years. 



The building erected in Washington 

 by the Phillipps Seed Co., of Toledo, O., 

 for the handling of the government seed 

 contract was highly commended by tlie 

 secretary of agriculture in a special re- 

 l>ort to congress. 



Henkt a. Salzee, the well-known 

 I.<a Crosse, Wis., seedsman, has recent Iv 

 purchased 250,000,000 feet of standing 

 timljer in Oregon. He says: '"A few hun- 

 <lred dollars saved each year and in- 

 vested for five years in Oregon pine, will 

 make any florist or .seedsman rich. 



CiiAUiioNT, X. Y. — Rogers Bros, re- 

 port that contracts on l)eans are being 

 made at quite an advance over last 

 year's prices; also quite an advance in 

 values of some varieties of peas, while 

 on others prices have fallen a little be- 

 low those of last year. The demand for 

 seed is good and business promises well 

 for the season. 



SuiREMANSTOWN, Pa. — John F. Rupp 

 reports that trade sales of liis llorisls' 

 seed specialties are not quite up to 

 his usual amount for the sea.son of the 

 year. Most orders come from the .south- 

 ern states. He attributes this t*) the 

 unsatisfactorj' stat<; of the fuel condi- 

 tions of the north. He has not l)een 

 sowing the amount of seed he tisually 

 does in consideration of the coal prob- 

 lem . 



Tub adoptiox of the propose<l post 

 check currency by congress would !«■ of 

 special benefit to seedsmen doing a cat- 

 alogue business, and it seems as though 

 some steps should be taken by the trade 

 to assist in its passage. It is under- 

 .stood that the express companies who 

 issue money orders are attempting to de- 

 feat the measure. By the proposed plan 

 currency could be converted into drafts 

 on the treasury by filling in certain 

 blank spaces and atUiehing postage 

 stamps to cover cost of issuing new 

 bills. 



Springfield, O. — The .American Seed- 

 ing Jruchine Company will be the name 

 of the new grain drill combine. Its 

 president will be Captain K. L. Buch- 

 walter. head of the Su))erior Drill Com- 

 ]ianv of this citv. Tlie combine will have 

 a cajiital stock" of $20,000,000.- Before 

 the first of February it will be incor- 

 porated under the laws of New Jersey. 

 ITie stock has already been subscribed. 

 The Superior Drill Company and P. P. 

 Mast & Co. are both included in the 

 deal. Tliis city will be the headquarters 

 of the new combine. 



Omaha, Xeh. — Present indications are 

 that the seedsmen of the west will have 

 no occasion for complaints. Market 

 gardeners, farmers and everybody inter- 

 ested seems to be in readiness to take 

 hold and are alreadv buying or contract- 

 ing for future delivery. Some of the 

 field and grass seeds are rather short 

 ( but good I and I think we will have but 

 little trouble to meet the demand. I 

 look for a very good and prosperous sea- 

 son for the up-to-date seedsmen of the 

 west and bounteous crops for the market 

 irardener and farmer. S. B. Stewart.
