"There does not seem to be any sur- 

 plus of any sort of peas in sight, while 

 on many of the wrinkled sorts there can- 

 not be enough to supply the demand. 



"Eegarding crop of beans, it is diffi- 

 cult to give any definite information as 

 harvest has only begnn. But from all 

 of our advices, wax beans will be very 

 light crop, while some ,of the hardier 

 green pod varieties have come through 

 much better. Our crops in this section 

 are not over one-half to two-thirds of 

 a crop, while in New York state the re- 

 turn is even more disappointing. ' ' 



MAILING CATALOGUES. 



The postoffiee department has at length 

 issued a ruling putting into effect the 

 act of Congress of April 28, 1904, under 

 which catalogues may be mailed without 

 stamps affixed. Copies of the circular 

 are not yet available for general dis- 

 tribution at all postoffices but are ex- 

 pected to be shortly. Summarized the 

 procedure is as follows: 



First one must make application to his 

 postmaster for a permit to mail matter 

 under this law. Such application need 

 be nothing more than a letter to the 

 postmaster, who will forward it to the 

 third assistant postmaster general at 

 ■Washington for approval. At the Chi- 

 cago postoffiee it is supposed that this 

 permit is good until revoked, although 

 the superintendent of mails has no in- 

 formation on this point. 



Permit in hand, the matter must be 

 prepared with a prescribed form of re- 

 turn card in the upper left corner of 

 the address label, name of sender and 

 office of mailing. In the upper right 

 corner must appear the words, "Third 

 class matter, paid in money," stating the 

 amount of postage on each piece and 

 the permit number. The size of type, 

 even, is prescribed. The separately ad- 

 dressed pieces must be all faced one 

 way and separated into states, cities, 

 etc., or tied in packages of a given num 

 ber, as the postmaster may request. 



The matter mu5t be presented for mail- 

 ing at the place designated by the post- 

 master, accompanied by a statement on 

 a form which is provided, showing num- 

 ber of pieces (not less than 2000 iden- 

 tical pieces), permit number, class of mat- 

 ter and weight of a single piece, signed 

 by the person to whom th? permit is 

 issued. If all in due form currency must 

 then be paid at the same rate as though 

 stamps were affixed. 



PANSY SEED. 



Some time ago I ordered a pound of 

 pansy seed from a firm in London, Eng- 

 land. The seed reached my postoffiee 

 September 3, accompanied by a notice 

 from the postmaster at New York to the 

 postmaster here to notify the nearest cup- 

 tom-house officials. He wrote to Nash-

 package, cost, etc., which were answered 

 promptly. But nothing more has been 

 heard and I am impatient to get my seed. 

 I have been ordering seed in England

 quantities than this, but never had any

AN AUCTION PROPOSITION. 



Harrisii Lily blooms were considered 

 dead stock after Easter. This is not the case 

 to-day. The demand is constantly growing 

 for this class of goods especially for funeral 

 work. This fact alone pays you for growing 

 tbem. Enough said. The question Is, do you 

 want 400—5 x 7 guaranteed sound bulbs for 

 $12 00 .' If not. what will you offer us?

over to the collector at New York for 

 appraisement, after which they are for- 

 warded to destination, but sometimes they 

 are sent for examination to the custom- 

 liouse nearest to destination. It would 

 seem that the error in this case was that 

 exarsfnation was not made before the 

 package was despatched to your town.
