MIGNONETTE SEED 



We offer seed of a strain of Mignonette which we have reselected 

 for many years. Read the following letters and judge for yourself 

 if it is not worth while to buy the best seed obtainable: 



FROM WH 



Rochester. N. Y., Feb. 4, 1916. 

 Mr. David J. Scott, Corfu. N. Y. 



Dear Sir: The Mignonette that you have been shipping us is 

 the best that is coming to this market, and we have been able to 

 sell this in preference to other shipments, and maintaining a 

 higher price. 1 think you have an exceedingly fine strain— in 

 fact, the very best one that I have ever seen. 



Very truly yours. 



Geo. B. Hart. 



O LESALE R8 



Buffalo. N. Y., Dec. 20. 1916. 

 Mr. David J. Scott, Corfu. N. Y. 



Dear Sir : We received the Mignonette this a. m. and would 

 say the shipment was sold out as soon as it was laid out on the 

 sales table. The Quality certainly was excellent ; no fitter has 

 been received in this market in some time, and as the time is near- 

 ing the holidays we hope to be able to receive and handle all you 

 can ship. We will warrant that the returns will prove satisfactory. 

 Yours very truly, Wm. P. Kasting Co.

STEM-EOT OF TOMATOES. 



I am sending a sample tomato from 

 my greenhouse. There seems to be 

 something wrong with the vine. The 

 root and tomato are in good condition 

 and the tomatoes continue to stay on 

 the vine. I had 500 plants in the 

 house and the tomatoes are ripening 

 now. Five of the plants were aflfected 

 in the same way as the one I am send- 

 ing. I pulled them up and destroyed 

 them. The rest of the plants are in 

 good condition and are doing well. 

 Please let me know the cause and 

 remedy as soon as possible. 



M. W. B.— Kan. 



The portion of stem forwarded came 

 in a completely rotted condition and 

 it was practically impossible to tell 

 anything about the nature of the dis- 

 ease. Possibly you have been keeping 

 the atmospheric conditions too moist. 

 This, added to dampness at the root, 

 would be likely to cause such trouble, 

 especially if the tomatoes are quite 

 closely planted. Tomatoes want a dry 

 atmosphere and it is always safer to 

 run them a trifle on the dry side at the 

 root. They should never be sprayed. 

 Never keep the ventilators closed down 

 tightly in damp weather. Even when 

 you use no fire heat, keep some air 

 moving. You were quite right in de- 

 stroying the aflfected plants and, as 

 these fungoid troubles are generally 

 carried over in the soil, I would sug- 

 gest sterilizing your soil before plant- 

 ing another season. C. W.

The Market. 



Market conditions are satisfactory. 

 There is no oversupply in any line. Gla- 

 dioli are abundant. Their quality is 

 good and worth the price asked. Boses 

 are not in oversupply, since there are no 

 more home-grown carnations. Bussell, 

 Ophelia and White Killarney are the 

 leaders. Boses, generally, are of better 

 quality than a year ago. Lilies have
