selling seed for forty-two years, in 

 quantities of from 5 cents' worth to 

 over $1,000 worth to a customer, we 

 have never had any difficulty along 

 this line, and while we do not claim 

 to be the largest seed house in the 

 south, we have a good many thousand 

 customers, all of whom are particular 

 about the seeds they buy.

VAIJ.EY PIPS FROM BOTTEBDAM. 



The valley pips which reached the 

 port of New York last week were from 

 Rotterdam, arriving December 16, on 

 the steamer Potsdam. There is variety 

 in the port of departure of valley pips 

 this year; each shipment recorded 

 in these columns in the last three weeks 

 has come from a different port. The 

 consignments from Holland were as fol- 

 lows:

SHIPMENTS OF BBITISH SEEDS. 



In common with all other horticul- 

 tural supplies from the Old World, ship- 

 ments of seeds from Great Britain con- 

 tinue as in other years despite the war. 

 If there is any difference in this year's 

 receipts, it is that they are larger than 

 usual. On the steamer Menominee, 

 from London, which reached New York 

 December IB, were over 400 cases, bags 

 or packages of seeds consigned to horti- 

 cultural firms of this country. Consign- 

 ments to general importing houses, of 

 which there were a number, are not in- 

 cluded in the list which follows:

 a time. Last week's shipments came

 and Nooderdyk, all of Rotterdam, which 

 reached New York December 11, 16
