Holland Seed Supply. 



In the condition of extreme doubt 

 now existing as to the ability of the 

 French and German seed producers to 

 ^supply the Araerieau trade as hereto- 

 fore it is reassuring to know that a 

 Holland house of the established good 

 reputation of Sluis & Groot is enabled 

 to stand in the breach as a reliable 

 source of supply. On certain vegetable 

 seeds, this firm has long been recog- 

 nized as a leader. Of spinach, for in- 

 stance they probably sell more than 

 all their competitors combined. Deal- 

 ers will do well to notice their ad- 

 vertisement and get into communica- 

 tion with them. You will find in their 

 wholesale trade price-list of vegetable 

 and flower seeds some very interest- 

 ing and timely information as to Hol- 

 land's ability to fill the requirements 

 lof the American trade. 



Notes. 



J. O. Barnes of Malone, N. Y., has 

 opened a branch agency at Fulton, N. 

 Y. 



The value of trees and plants im- 

 ported into the port of New York dur- 

 ing the week ending November 7, was 

 $26,441; grass seed, $2,383: palm seeds, 

 fl,431. 



An American consular officer in 

 France is informed by a seed dealer 

 in that district that he is in the mar- 

 ket for crimson clover seed, and 

 wishes to make connections with 

 American dealers who now hold large 

 stocks of tliis seed.
