Now it's time to rusii tlie catalogues. 



With ttie greens and other Christmas 

 specialties out of the way, the real seed 

 season may be said to have arrived. 



The seed catalogues .so far to hand, 

 while they show possibly more variation 

 than usual, are almost a unit in advanc- 

 ing the prices of beans and reducing tte 

 prices of peas. 



The European seeds are coming along 

 at a rate that is not greatly different 

 from other years and war risks insurance 

 has fallen to one-half to seven-eighths 

 of one per cent. 



The January magazines never carried 

 so little seed trade advertising as those 

 coming to hand for 1915. The trade 

 turns more and more every year to the 

 use of special publications of rural char- 

 acter. 



Several of the seed catalogues issued 

 ilt central cities make capital of the 

 parcel post, emphasizing the fact that 

 the zone rates make it an object to buy 

 important quantities of seeds where the 

 postage rates are lowest. 



It is reported the American branch of 

 Van Waveren & Kruijff, Sassenheim, 

 Holland, was left with approximately 

 250,000 bulbs on its hands, about 100,- 

 000 of which were La Reine. These have 

 just been cleaned up to a Philadelphia 

 florist for forcing. 



One of the points in which the cata- 

 logue men appear to have laid up more 

 or less trouble for themselves, according 

 as their orders come, is in providing for 

 postage on pints and quarts. Formerly 

 the wrappings added only a penny to the 

 postage, but now when a net pound is 

 wrapped the zone rate postage must 

 be paid as for two pounds.. 



W. G. Carleton, for ten years vice- 

 president of the Prank S. Piatt Co., of 

 New Haven, Conn., together with Morris 

 B. Clark, a nephew of Mr. Piatt, has 

 purchased the business of the Park & 

 Pollard Co., at 46 Canal street, Boston, 

 and is conducting a general business in 

 seeds, tools, poultry, etc., under the 

 uame of the Carleton- CI ark Co. Pet ani- 



Lmals and birds and aiymafc for circuses 

 and zoBlogical gardens form a branch 



' of the business.

Tlhe 1915 catalogue of the Livingston 

 Seed Co., Columbus, O., is the first one 

 to hand that departs from the old cus- 

 tom of quoting prices, postage prepaid
