Seed Trade News. 



Caribou, Me.— The George W. P. 

 Jerrard Co. reports that a recent fall ot 

 30 inches of snow on top of what was 

 on the ground made the snow five feet 

 deep on the level, and this has kept the 

 farmers from moving their produce to 

 market as fast as they otherwise 

 would. Owing to the unfavorable 

 weather last summer only one-half as 

 many seed potatoes were harvested as 

 the previous year and trade is brisk in 

 all varieties except Bliss Triumph. 

 These are sold mostly to the southern 

 trade and at present the supply seems 

 to exceed the demand, with prices a 

 little off. Some of the Aroostook po- 

 tatoes are shipped a long way for seed. 

 Last season the above named company 

 shipped a trial lot of 45 different vari- 

 eties to Honolulu, Hawaii, and they 

 gave such satisfactory results in their 

 soil and climate that the same parties 

 have ordered a much larger shipment 

 this season. 



TiIiLWATJKEE, Wis. — The \yernich Seed 

 Co. reports that trade has opened late, as 

 catalogues were mailed two weeks lateT 

 than last year. If orders now coming in 

 are any indication the business outlook 

 is excellent. Orders are large, especially 

 for vegetable and flower seeds. In farm 

 seeds the demand is mostly for grass 

 and clover seeds. Local canners are buy- 

 ing up almost any old seed sweet corn 

 and cucumber seed, paying fancy prices 

 for it. Unless heavy frosts set in we 

 shall have an early planting season. 



Clevexand, O. — The Cleveland Market 

 Gardeners' and Producers' Associatioi. 

 has been organized with officers as fol- 

 lows: S. B. Chester, South Brooklyn, 

 president; L. Zeager, Rocky River and 

 T. W. James, Parma, vice presidents; 

 W. A. Potter, Rockport, secretary; T 

 Peterson, Rocky River, treasurer. An 

 executive committee of five members will 

 govern the affairs of the association. 

 Meetings will be held once a month for 

 the present. 



Worcester, Mass. — Ross Bros, report 

 indications for an unusually large trade 

 this season. On account of the total fail- 

 ure of nearly all vine seeds and early 

 varieties of sweet corn, buyers, especially 

 the canners, are trying to get their or- 

 ders in, but it is "difficult to get early 

 varieties of sweet corn to supply the de- 

 mand and corn that was harvested in the 

 fall and put on the racks to dry, in- 

 stead of drying as it usually does, mold- 

 ed and is of no value whatever for seed 

 purposes. 



New Haven, Conn. — On July 1 last 

 Frank S. Piatt took into partnership 

 three of the young men who have been 

 with him from eight to fifteen years, 

 and to adjust these matters had the 

 business incorporated as the Frank S. 

 Piatt Co. The business has been estab- 

 lished 27 years and has att^iined such 

 dimensions that assistance in the man- 



ngeiiieiit became necessary, and it has 

 been his policy to reward faithful ser- 

 vice. 



Salt Lake City, Utah.— H. F. Thorup 

 reports excellent prospects for seed trade 

 this season. There is promise of a good 

 supply of water for irrigation and this 

 will cause general planting. The winter 

 has been a "veiy cold one and there is no 

 sign yet of a break, but' a change is 

 looked for soon.
