used by the seed company, but part of it 

 will be sublet. 



There are indications that the present 

 year will be the best the seed trade 

 has known for a long time. 



The embargoes have reduced the ar- 

 rivals of seeds from Europe, except that 

 considerable quantities have arrived on 

 recent boats from Copenhagen. 



The Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago, 

 rapidly is moving into its new buildings, 

 constituting undoubtedly the largest and 

 finest grass seed establishment anywhere 

 in the world. 



Among the market gardeners there is 

 a feeling that there will be a large de- 

 mand for all varieties of produce and 

 they are planting onion, cabbage and all 

 varieties of seeds of this class in larger 

 quantities than ever before. 



An> unusually heavy seasoa for the 

 seedsmen is predicted by J. M. Clark, of 

 • the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, who says 

 they are working overtime sending out 

 orders, although it still is early for 

 many of their customers and in many 

 cases users of seeds have not yet made 

 up their lists of requirements. 



In an endeavor to promote the plant- 

 ing of clean seed potatoes only, the col- 

 lege of agriculture of the University of 

 msconsin is issuing certificates of in- 

 spection to Wisconsin growers of seed 

 potatoes whose stock meets the standard, 

 and urging planters to secure their needs 

 from these certified growers. 



Orders for seeds for South America 

 are on the increase, but it is new and 

 not understood business with most seeds- 

 men. The U. S. consul at Rio de Janeiro 

 calls attention that Brazil taxes cata- 

 logues as books unless they are marked 

 "Catalogues eem valor" (without val- 

 ue). Seeds enter free of duty, but pack- 

 ages should be plainly marked, "Semen- 

 tes para agricultura, " 



March 1 the Gunn Seed Co. opened 

 for business at 219-221 South Tenth 

 street, Lincoln, Neb., as a wholesale and 

 retail seed company. The firm is com- 

 posed of E. S. Gunn and E. A. -Pegler. 

 The former was general manager of the 

 Galloway Bros.-Bowman Co., at Water- 

 loo, la., last year, and for nineteen years 

 previous vice-president and manager of 

 the retail and mail-order department of 

 the Griswold Seed Co., at Lincoln, Neb. 

 Mr. Pegler has been handling poultry 

 supplies for a number of years m Lin- 

 eoui in connection with his wholesale 

 pickle business. Now he has turned over 

 this department to the new firm and will 

 devote all his time to his pickle and 

 vinegar business. 



THE COST OF PEAS FOB SEED. 



At a recent meeting of pea packers, 

 one of them said: "I believe the pea 

 eanner should own or rent the land and 

 grow his own peas, as the seed is so 

 expensive — for the coming year about 

 $17 per acre, last year about $20, and 

 averaging from $15 to $25 per acre —
