Rochester Seed Trade. 



A. W. Gilman reports business as ex- 

 ceptionally good witlialarge demand for 

 Golden self-blanching celery seed and 

 cabbage seed is moying stronger than 

 usual. 



Grossman Brothers say that oiders are 

 rushing— business is good and that 

 they are unusually busy at their nur- 

 series. 



.James Vice's Sons are very busy- 

 but the store trade has been soely hit 

 on account of bad weather. Their cat- 

 alogue trade passes all expecta'lons. 

 Thev have increased their hot-becl 

 stuff 400 per cent. Asters are coming 

 and looking well. They are planting 

 an increased acreage of aste:s,and also 

 an increased acreage of Phlox Drum- 

 mondii, Poppy, Sweet William, etc.— 

 all of which they specialize. They 

 have also engaged a Cornell specialist 

 to work on their farm, and if any 

 trouble occurs amongst the public in 

 plant disease, etc., if they will ie':er 

 personally to the firm they may get 

 the benefit of this specialist free of 

 charge. Hor.ue J. He.\d.
