SEED TRADE. 



A large crop of sweet corn is now 

 assured, unless a considerable per- 

 centage spoils in progress of curing. 



This is the season for bulbs with 

 most of the Seed Trade, and seeds fur 

 the most part are receiving but inci- 

 dental attention. 



It is currently reported that the af- 

 fairs of the Clucas & Boddington Co. 

 will be wound up, and the concern 

 will cease to exist. The liabilities are 

 so heavy, compared with the available 

 assets, that there is no chance for a 

 compromise. 



It begins to look as if seed potatoes 

 would have some value next spring. 

 From all parts of New York State 

 come reports of the tubers rotting bad- 

 ly, and it is said this condition pre- 

 vails to a more or less extent in Maine 

 and Michigan. Should this latter 

 statement prove true, it will mean a 

 sharp advance in prices, and before 

 next spring. 



It is reported that one of the lead- 

 ing seed growers of the Pacific Coast 

 placed a large lot of onion seed for 

 sale with a Chicago broker last spring. 

 As far as can be learned this seed wa.s 

 not offered to the trade, but was ped- 

 dled around the country to onion set 

 growers at absurdly low prices. The 

 party to whom this seed belonged nu 

 doubt wishes he had it today, and 

 probably realizes that he made a 

 colossal blunder in the method he 

 adopted to dispose of it. That he did 

 his many customers a grave injustic,-^ 

 goes without saying, and that he 

 "cheapened" the seed business whtn 

 he cheapened the price of the seed is 

 also beyond question.
