One of the best bulb sellers over the retail counter. 

 However, poorly graded stock, such as is offered by depart- 

 ment stores, will make enemies for you if you sell such, 

 because many of them fail to bloom. We have imported

Seed & Nursery Co. wrote as follows 

 under date of October 21: 



"In regard to the storm of October 

 18 and 19, conditions are somewhat im- 

 proved at this writing. We had a se- 

 vere storm, starting with rain and go- 

 ing into sleet and winding up with a 

 driving snow which weighted the stalks 

 of corn and blew them over. The crop 

 is more or less covered with snow and 

 we look for about twenty-five per cent 

 damage on the crops that are out in 

 the field, where, of course, at this time 

 of the year, a great many are. How- 

 ever, the weather is clear and if it 

 warms up and the snow goes away 

 quickly the condition will be improved. 

 The sweet corn was good and dry and 

 will stand more of the present condi- 

 tions than it otherwise would. We had 

 about eight inches of snow besides the 

 rain and it blew into drifts badly."
