planter sees the seed, it stimulates the 

 desire to possess and sow as early as 

 possible. This season will be earlier than 

 usual and, with tlie bugaboo of labor 

 eliminated, farming will be more pleas- 

 apt, as well as profitable. 



The J. J. Wilson Seed Co., Newark, 

 N. J., is sanguine as to the future of 

 the business, as seen from a retailer's 

 point of view. Gardening will be taken 

 up with all the old-time vigor and the 

 prospect of an early spring must help. 



Alex Forbes & Co., Newark, N. J., 

 are well advanced with mall orders fol- 

 lowing early response to the issue of 

 their annual catalogue, in which grass 

 seeds are prominently featured. 



Smalley Bros., Dunellen, N. J., com- 

 menting upon the fact that their con- 

 signment seeds are to be sold for 10 

 cents per packet, opine a reduced sale 

 for the reason that bulk seeds are much 

 lower in price, and the buying public 

 noting that the quantity in the ])acki't 

 is not larger tlian before. W. M.
