SEED TRADE. 



Amoug the week's visitors to Boston 

 were Franlj; T. Emerson of the West- 

 ern Seed & Irrigation Company, Fre- 

 mont, Neb., and W. C, Langbridge, 

 representing Jerome B. Rice, Cam- 

 bridge, N, Y. 



The Philadelphia seed stores report 

 an unusually early opening of the fall 

 trade. Large sizes of Lilium Harisii, 

 many varieties of tulips, and the 

 smaller sizes of Roman hyacinths are 

 already sold out, and all hands have 

 stopped taking orders for Japan long- 

 iflorums in view of the uncertainty of 

 arriving consignments and the heavy 

 orders already booked. 



Boston seedsmen all report a phe- 

 nomenal business in bulbs this fall. 

 The call for special forcing varieties 

 of tulips and other things is greater 

 than for several years. It might be 

 added that bulbs generally are of very 

 good quality. 



Boston Grass Seed Report. 



Blue grass and prime timothy are 

 steady at the advance noted last week. 

 Demand for fall sowing is moderately 

 active and compares favorably with 

 that apparent at this time last year. 

 Prices have suffered no quotable 

 changes during the week.
