D. L. Sloan, of D. L. Sloan & Son, 

 Palo Alto, Cal., was a caller this week. 



The 1904 crop bean deliveries are very 

 disappointing. We are promised from 

 20 to 30 per cent on Wardwell's; on 

 Davis Wax^ from 25 to 35 per cent; 

 Bed Valentines, 60 per cent. This is a 

 New York grower's estimate. Quite a 

 few bean contracts were placed with New 

 Jersey farmers this season and they are 

 equally disappointing. 



Plenty of sugar corn is being offered 

 by the farmers. They report no outlet 

 for it for seed, and many are convert- 

 ing their sugar corn seed into pork. 

 How different from a year ago! 



The crop of egg plant seed is below 

 medium. 



It is reported that one of the leading 

 catalogue houses will commence mailing 

 catalogues December 1. 



Henry A. Dreer is erecting a large 

 seed warehouse at 710 Locust street to 

 accommodate their large increasing trade. 



MAILING CATALOGUES. 



Charles N, Page, Des Moines, la., pres- 

 ident of the American Seed Trade Asso- 

 ciation, has sent out a circular with re- 

 gard to the mailing of catalogues in bulk 

 without stamps affixed. This has to do 

 with additional regulations of the Depart- 

 ment, from which, as Mr. Page points 

 out, 



It will be seen that the wrapper may have 

 any adTertislng matter printed on which Is 

 desired so that the type conforms with the 

 regulations. While Section 6 states that the 

 mailer must tie the separately addressed park- 

 ages In bundles of 50, 100. 21X). 51K) or 1.000 

 pieces, our postmaster here says that a mall 

 bag may be considered a bundle and It Is not 

 necessary that each bag contain the same 

 number of pieces, but the sender may put any 

 number that he desires In each bag provided 

 the bag is tagged with statement of the actual 

 number contained In It. Thus It will be con- 

 venient to put catalogues or circulars going to 

 each state in separate mail sacks and thus 

 expedite the handling at the post-ofBce. 

 Before acting on this statement, however. 

 It would be well to Inquire if your postmaster 

 takes a like view of the ruling. This new 

 law will be of advantage in the mailing of 

 circulars weekly price cards and samples of 

 seed as well as in sending out catalogues. 

 It will save the expense and time Involved In 

 affixing and canceling postage stamps and In- 

 sure mail being forwarded more expeditiously. 

 It Is tA be hoped that during the coming 

 session of Congress the law originally asked for 

 will be passed permitting the sending of all 

 snch matter at the bulk rate of eight cents per 

 pound.
