MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



S. M. Isbell & Co., of Jackson, Mich., 

 are enjoying tremendous business, ac- 

 cording to Manager A. H. Luck, who 

 stated that in addition to having a good 

 supply of the leading kinds of seeds, 

 they were fortunate in securing addi- 

 tional acreage for future contracts. 

 Their farmers are averse to growing 

 small-seeded kinds, such as radish, so 

 that, unfortunately, and for climatic 

 reasons, these must be imported. From 

 the present outlook the list of vege- 

 tables for next season's catalogues will 

 be severely restricted. 



• Kendel 's Seed Store, at Cleveland, 

 is, to use a provincialism, "up to the 

 balcony in business." "I do not be- 

 lieve," said A. C. Kendel, "that busi- 

 ness will amount to more than the usual 

 in volume. There is so much packet 

 trade and farmers are sowing less. Peas, 

 for instance, are not selling so freely 

 as formerly. Scarcity of labor is the 

 reason. Never before have we done 

 such a counter trade. While many of 

 tlie amateur gardeners undoubtedly will 

 be disappointed with the results of 

 their labor, the press, a committee of 

 which I am a member, has taken great 

 pains to instruct the amateurs as 

 plainly as possible, even to the extent 

 of setting aside the advice sent out 

 from Washington. This advice, unfor- 

 tunately, is founded solely on theory, 

 local conditions and situations being 

 ignored. We have done some local 

 advertising, but the boost given by 

 the dailies has undoubtedly stirred up 

 enthusiasm and, as 1 have already 

 stated, our committee has done, and is 

 doing, much, by the daily chart issued. 

 We needed rain badly in this neighbor- 

 hood and the moisture of the last few 

 days lias done great good. Now if old 

 Boreas will let up and old Sol will beam 

 down we shall have a banner season to 

 report at the annual meeting of the 

 Seed Trade Association. And the meet- 

 ing is going to be a hummer," con- 

 cluded Secretary Kendol. 



The Theilmann Seed Co., of Erie, Pa., 

 is of the opinion that the advent of 

 carloads of seed potatoes from out of 

 town lias taught the farmers a good les- 

 son against hoarding up their stocks in 

 the future, and the company regrets 

 that the idea was not adopted earlier. 

 Many others view the subject in the 

 same light. W. M.
