Taking it by and large, the seed season 

 to date is good, but not so good as was 

 expected. 



Onion is one of the articles likely any 

 time to be a feast or a famine. Predic- 

 tions are that it will be the latter next 

 year. 



A DIVIDEND of five per cent is expected 

 to be ordered March 14, to creditors of 

 the Griswold Seed Co., Lincoln, Neb., in 

 bankruptcy. 



The corn in country cribs has siiflfered 

 severely from the cold weather, its imma- 

 turity at harvest being more apparent to- 

 day than at any previous date. The farm- 

 ers ' awakening is apparent in the mail of 

 the western seed houses, which can no- 

 where near supply the demand. 



The tenacity with which winter clings 

 to its position in the lap of spring makes 

 the mBU-order season slow or erratic. A 

 few mild days result in an increase in 

 the maU, but a return of snow and cold 

 promptly chedks the flow of business. 

 On the whole, the mail-order season still 

 is below normal for the date. 



The William Rennie Co., Toronto, is 

 working night and day shifts to overcome 

 the delay incident to the fire of February 

 20, which, the company states, "caused 

 great loss in bulk vegetable, flower and 

 field root seeds, as well as filled seed 

 packets and cartons." The Dominion 

 seed commissioner, George H. Clark, is 

 passing on all seeds saved from the fire. 



Holland bulb travelers assert that 

 there are more of their kind in America 

 today than in any previous^eason. The 

 explanation is that some of the travelers 

 are persona non grata in (Jermany or 

 England, where they usually spend a part 

 of their time, and that they have sought 

 the United States as the world 's onfy free 

 hunting ground for the commercial 

 marksman. 



EMBARGOES AEE LIFTED. 



Thinking that the following may be 

 of interest to your subscribers, I beg. 

 to advise that the writer has been en- 

 gaged in the effort to secure the prompt 

 shipment of seed supplies from the 

 growers, wholesalers and jobbers, to 

 New England points, and the lifting of 

 the embargo placed by the railroads on 

 such transportation. Some of the rail- 

 roads have no embargoes, but the Penn- 

 sylvania and the New York, New 

 Haven & Hartford did have such em- 

 bargoes. Responding to the necessities 

 of getting the seed supplies into the 

 hands of the farmers in ample time, 

 the Pennsylvania and the New "iork, 

 New Haven & Hartford have lifted 

 their embargoes by a special order, so
