had contracted their seed beforehand 

 allowed any to stand. Dealers have 

 paid as high as 50 cents per pound for 

 seed within the last week. 



A lesser acreage of Siberian kale is 

 grown here, yet the crop grown in this 

 vicinity is an important feature of the 

 market. So far as known, only one acre 

 was allowed to seed this year. This 

 made only 300 pounds of seed. 



Everything points toward a smaller 

 acreage of both cow peas and soy beans 

 this year than for a long time previous. 

 Of course it is still too early to report 

 what the crop will be, but it cannot be 

 heavy, because of the reduced acreage. 

 Crimson clover is ripe and the crop is 

 about an average one or perhaps better.

CATALOGUES EEOEIVED. 



Steele's Pansy Gardens, Portland, Ore. — A well 

 printed folder, containing a wholesale list of 

 both seeds and seedlings of the Mastodon strain 

 of pansies. Both distinct varieties and mixtures 

 are offered, with the suggestion, "to save you 

 money," that "for ordinary marliet purposes 

 separate colors are not necessary." A page is 

 devoted to instructions on the germination of the 

 seeds and the cultivation of the plants. 



L. Daehnfeldt, Ltd., Odense, Denmark. — 

 "Daehnfeldt's Guide through Garden and Field," 

 a fully Illustrated, clearly printed catalogue of 

 vegetable, flower and agricultural seeds; 136 

 unusually large pages, in a strong and tasteful 

 gray cover, embossed in red. The book contains 

 concise descriptions and cultural directions, but 

 no prices. The company states, however, that 

 supplementary lists will be Issued from time 

 to time, quoting prices and stating terms of 

 sale. Among the illustrations are several full- 

 page plates, two of them colored. 



Henry F. Miohell Co., Philadelphia, Pa.— Illus- 

 trated wholesale catalogue of seeds, bulbs, plants, 

 tools and miscellaneous supplies; forty good- 

 sized pages, besides two Inserts and a colored 

 cover. One of the Inserts contains a special 

 list of seeds of perennials; the other is devoted 

 to Easter lilies and bears a finely colored full- 

 page picture. The cover shows sweet peas, 

 primulas, cyclamens and other flowers in their 

 natural colors. 



CINCINNATI, O. 



The Market. 



Exceptionally cool weather prevailed 

 last week, making stock a little scarce, 

 especially roses. Lilies seem to be about 

 done, but a few stragglers are still 

 hanging on. Good stock is not to be 

 had. A large amount of outdoor stock, 

 such as snapdragons, sweet peas and 

 calliopsis, has arrived and has relieved 

 the market somewhat. Carnations are 

 now so small that they would almost 

 pass for hardy pinks and the color is 

 poor. 



Gladioli are arriving in fairly good 

 condition and, owing to the shortage, 

 clean up readily. Valley is scarce and 

 the amount that is arriving is so 

 meager that one man can use all of it 

 and not be overstocked. The first 

 rubrum lilies arrived last week and 

 cleaned up readily. Pond lilies are also 

 arriving in larger numbers now and are 

 selling well at $4 to $6 per hundred. 



Feverfew is now arriving and is a 

 welcome flower, as other items are slow- 

 ing up. Greenhouse smilax is arriving 

 much better than it has for some time 

 and cleans up well. 



Various Notes. 



T. W. Hardesty has had some fine 

 window displays during the last week. 



C. E. Critchell is getting some fine 

 Gladiolus America from L. Pfeiffer. 



Sam Urlage, of the Thaden Flower 

 Shop, reports a brisk business.

 is receiving some good eastern ferns. 



H. W. Sheppard has been busy with 

 wedding decorations and reports busi-
