Most 96-page catalojiues would sell as 

 much if cut to sixty-four pages. 



Impoutkks who are paying French ac- 

 counts are getting bettt'r than seventeen 

 francs for a dollar. 



J. C. McCuLLOUGH has left Cincinnati 

 to spend the winter in Florida, where he 

 will spend much time in his favorite 

 sport, fishing, 



Robert L. Livingston, of the Living- 

 ston Seed Co., Columbus, O., passed 

 through Chicago on his way to Seattle, 

 Wash. He will spend the winter in south-

It is estimated that 40,000,000 cata- 

 logues are issued by the seed houses of 

 this country, an indication of the amount 

 of money that was contributed out of 

 deflated seed prices to inflated paper costs. 



Holland bulb exporters who arc being 

 paid in money of the United States are 

 reaping a neat additional profit, on top 

 of their high prices for bulbs, through 

 the conversion of their funds into guild- 

 ers. 



An advertising data book finds the seed 

 industry of the United States and Canada 

 comprises 3,265 commercially rated mem- 

 bers, classified as follows: Contract 

 growers, 175; wholesalers and jobbers, ex- 

 porters and importers, 325; mail-order 

 dealers, 300; retailers, 2,465. 



A SEEDSMAN had a nibble last week on 

 a car of beans of a variety of which ho 

 happened to have more to offer, so ho 

 queried four other houses and was sur- 

 prised at the variation in the prices 

 at which the stock was tendered. There 

 was a sj>road of 2^2 cents per pound over 

 the four offers. 



Gardeners who have been holding crofis 

 of onion sets in the hope tlie market would 

 rally are in a bad way if they have no 

 storage. With operators well suj)plie(i 

 with sets grown on contract, there is no 

 bid price for crops forced on the market 

 by the ina'/ility of the growers to carry 

 them over the winter. 



The Wisconsin Canncrs' Association, 

 comprising the principal pea ])ackers of 

 the United States, held its annual con- 

 vention at Milwaukee last week with an 

 attendance said to have ineliKled more 

 seed travelers than canners. That may 

 be a somewhat exaggerated statement of 

 the case, hut it is literally true that there 

 ■were more pea peddlers than buyers. 

 Nearly every seedsman has peas to sell 

 this season. 



TllE extremely high prices that were 

 paid for soy beans and cou]>e.'is last 

 spring do not seem to have had nuich effect 

 in inducing growers to save a larger pro- 

 portion than usual of these erojis for seed 

 or grain purposes this fall. To judge 

 from reports received by the bureau of 

 markets of the Department of Agriculture 

 during the week ending November &, th«
