SEED TRADE 



The American seed trade is now en- 

 joying its annual midsummer siesta: 

 such work as is now being done is 

 in preparation for next season's busi- 

 ness. So far as one may judge of fu- 

 ture conditions, indications point to a 

 good season's trade. There promises 

 to be just enough shortage in staple 

 goods to stimulate demand at fairly 

 good prices. Green peas, in sympathy 

 with the seed, have not been an 

 abundant crop, and have generally 

 brought satisfactory prices. The same 

 may be said of string beans, both 

 green and wax pods. Onions are gen- 

 erally reported a light crop, and of 

 somewhat inferior quality. Other 

 green vegetables have brought varying 

 prices, but on the whole fairly satis- 

 factory. One very important factor in 

 estimating next season's business is 

 the fact that the farmers of the coun- 

 ty, particularly in the west, are realiz- 

 ing fairly good prices for their prod- 

 ucts, and though their crops in many 

 instances are somewhat on the short 

 side, they are finding a readier mar- 

 ket, and doubtless getting as large net 

 returns as though their crops had been 

 bumper ones. So long as the farmers 

 are prospering the seedsman will pros- 

 per. 



There is some demand for the resig- 

 nation of Secretary Wilson of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture, but he seems 

 to enjoy the full confidence of the 

 President, and it will be well to sus- 

 pend judgment and give him a chance. 

 Mr. Wilson is undoubtedly an honest 

 man, but many fear he lacks executive 

 ability. He now has an opportunity to 

 prove his critics wrong. It is earnest- 

 ly hoped he will be able to do so. 



PLANT CARRYING DEVICE. 



"Of improve- 

 ment there is no 

 end," but I ven- 

 ture to suggest 

 that a pair of 

 handles for car- 

 rying tubs con- 

 taining plants, 



such as shown in the accompanying 

 picture, ought to find a place in the 

 toolhouse of every gardener and ceme- 



sity of permanent handles which are 

 always more or less unsightly, with 

 the accompanying danger of the screws 

 breaking out at the critical moment. 

 They can be made by any blacksmith; 

 mine are made of one-half inch 

 wrought iron.

tery superintendent. They are capable 

 of carrying a tub from 10 inches in 

 diameter to anything that two men 

 can handle. They obviate the neces-
