SEED irlADE NOTES. 



It is no doubt generally known that 

 H. H. Harries has withdrawn irom the 

 firm of Goodwin, Harries Co., but it is 

 not as generally known that A. H. 

 Goodwin has consolidated with W. W. 

 Barnard & Co. Just what the style 

 of the new firm is to be is not known 

 outside of the parties in interest, but 

 Goodwin, Harries Co., as a firm will 

 no doubt cease to exist, while there 

 will be no change in that of W. W. 

 Barnard & Co. However, this is only 

 conjecture. In their own good time 

 the public will be taken into their 

 confidence. 



Onion set harvesting is in full swing, 

 and the western crop is a fair one. 

 One of the largest growers located 

 near Chicago will not harvest more 

 than half the average yield, but in 

 other sections the yield is nearly up 

 to average. Louisville dealers are 

 now quoting white sets for immediate 

 shipment at 2c. per lb., or G5c. per 

 bushel of 32 lbs. The idea of selling 

 32 lbs. of sets at this time of year for 

 a bushel is absurd, and is really 20 

 per cent, short in measure. Thirty- 

 two pounds in February or March is 

 equal to 40 lbs. in August, as the 

 shrinkage is fully 20 per cent, between 

 August and February. Sehmg sets by 

 weight is really the only just and 

 equitable way. 



The Pure Seed and Plant Co. of 

 America, was not incorporated at 

 Washington, D. C, as originally in- 

 tended. The promoters, it seems, dis- 

 covered that a law of Congress re- 

 quires all firms incorporated in the 

 District of Columbia to maintain their 

 head or main office there, and this not 

 being practicable in the present case, 

 the enterprise has been launched at 

 Indianapolis under the laws of the 

 State of Indiana. J. A.- Everitt of 

 Indianapolis, is president, but who the 

 other officers are is not disclosed by 

 the prospectus. The aims and pur- 

 poses of the concern are certainly 

 large and ambitious, too much so, it 

 would seem, to be practical.
