ities of the company and be in every- 

 way a complete and modern seeds plant. 

 The buildings to be erected in the 

 spring will take over the business now 

 done in the large St. Louis Park ware- 

 house, will house the stocks of onion 

 sets, thirty-one carloads of which are 

 now in the Green & De Laittre build- 

 ing on Third street, N., will take in 

 several hundred carloads of seed now 

 in the Security warehouse, and will care 

 for the cleaning, packing and milling 

 of the company's seeds. The general 

 offices will be continued for a year or 

 two at First street and Hennepin ave- 

 nue. G. W. A. 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



William P. Stubbs, of Wood, Stubbs 

 ■& Co., Louisville, Ky., commenting on 

 the vagaries of the seed business, es- 

 pecially at this time, quoted from 

 what purported to be the latest bulle- 

 tin, previous to shipment, from a for- 

 eign shipper: "One-fourth crop of 

 beets, carrots and onions; radishes and 

 turnips considerably less; some kinds 

 ■of turnips almost nil. ' ' Among home 

 growers salsify is a short crop. In 

 red and black Valentine beans, of which 

 Mr. Stubbs' contract called for 1,000 

 bushels of each, and for 3,000 bushels 

 of Kentucky Wonder, a yield of sixty 

 per cent is reported. These are load- 

 ers in the south. In grasses, orchard 

 ^rass, redtop and Kentucky blue, a 

 good harvest is reported, with prices 

 steady just now, but with a tendency 

 to advance, although redtop recently 

 dropped in price. A scarcity of onion 

 seed, especially white, is expected for 

 some time. Good deliveries of sweet 

 peas, including one popular sort which 

 bas never been delivered in full quota, 

 have arrived, and as the quantity was 

 almost quadrupled in the contract, 

 there will be plenty for customers. Mr. 

 Stubbs mentioned this, showing the 

 chances taken in estimating receipts 

 and the endeavor of the grower to 

 fill his part of the contract. The 

 hardy plant department is proving 

 to be a valuable adjunct to the retail 

 branch of the business. 



The Ohio Valley Seed Co., of Evans- 

 ville, Ind., reports one of the best sea- 

 sons in its experience. Cereals and 

 grasses are retailing well. There is a 

 bright future. 



The Ileldt Co., of Evansville, says 

 the sale of sprayers was poor last sea- 

 son. This is a general record, owing 

 to the moist summer. Sales of field 

 seeds and implements were fOlly "up to 

 the average, said Manager W. Munro. 



The Yopp Seed Co., of Paducah, Ky., 

 attributes the increase in its business 

 largely to the monthly bulletin mailed 

 to the country patrons, especially dur- 

 ing the dull months. Seasonable litera- 

 ture is appreciated. W. M.
