Feench bulbs have cleaned up with 

 celerity; no quantities are left on hand 

 now that advance orders have been filled. 



The seed stores that handle bulbs in 

 a wholesale way are exceedingly busy at 

 present. Retail sales of bulbs have 

 hardly begun as yet. 



A FIRE which destroyed a good sized 

 part of the town included in its ravages 

 the Gype wholesale seed store, at Arch- 

 bold, O., which contained at the time 

 several thousand dollars' worth of 

 clover seed. 



C. E. Kendel, secretary of the Aroer- 

 can Seed Trade Association, last week 

 maUed to members the handsomely 

 printed volume containing the report of 

 the Cleveland convention and other asso- 

 ciation matter. 



The drought in the corn belt was 

 broken last week and the rains, which 

 were fairly general in the states be- 

 tween the Mississippi and the mountains, 

 were followed by a drop to seasonable 

 temperatures. Conditions and, especially, 

 prospects were thereby much improved. 



The idea of a world's seed conference 

 at San Francisco during the Panama- 

 Pacific Exposition, holding it under the 

 auspices of the American Seed Trade 

 Association, is attracting considerable 

 attention in Europe. The indications are 

 that there will be a fair attendance. 



Unless frequent reference is made to 

 it, the disclaimer gets shoved gradually 

 into the background. President Page, 

 in bis address at the last seed trade con- 

 vention, warned against this and anyone 

 who notes seedsmen's stationery will 

 recognize that he was right in urging 

 that the non-warranty be kept more in 

 evidence. 



The catalogue seed houses are fairly 

 well satisfied with the present postal 

 arrangements; in nearly every case in 

 which a record has been compiled, the 

 postage under the flat rate is less on the 

 day's business than it would have been 

 had the zone rates applied and the dis- 

 continuance of the use of special stamps 

 for parcels is looked upon as giving the 

 seed trade about all that it can ask so 

 long as the present, zone system is used 

 for other merchandise. 



FBENCH BUI.B SHIPMENTS.

 the Marseilles steamer which reached
