. The government seed distribution for 

 1905 has been begun. 



The situation on wax beans gets worse 

 each week. "Wardwells and Davis are al- 

 most failures.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co., of Philadel- 

 phia, have secured an additional ware- 

 house fronting on York avenue. It is 

 but a few doors from their headquarters. 



A UNIQUE window display is that of 

 the Henry F. Michell Co., of Philadelphia. 

 It shows a field of mushrooms in the 

 space of a few feet. The effect is caused 

 by mirrors placed at angles. It at- 

 tracts much attention and is a good ad- 

 vertisement. 



W. Atlee Burpee & Co. want their 

 friends to "watch" the "seeds that 

 grow.^' They send the watch with their 

 compliments. It is a full-grown speci- 

 men, dial six inches in diameter, bear- 

 ing their trade-mark, and has taken the 

 place of our oflSce clock. 



The market for bouquet green is quiet. 

 The experience of the last couple of years 

 caused most of the buyers of bulk green 

 to place orders early and these have been 

 covered, with moderate quantities now on 

 hand which will probably hang on until 

 the late orders for small lots come in. 

 Some green is still coming out of the 

 wood but not in large quantities. 



According to a note in the Revue Hor- 

 ticole the number of subscribers to the 

 fund for the Vjlmorin memorial at Paris 

 up to the present time amounts to 2138, 

 and the total sum to 21,155 francs, about 

 $4,200. Contributions have been received 

 from various countries, and a very large 

 number are of small amount, many of fif- 

 ty centimes only, a circumstance which 

 shows in what general esteem M. de Vil- 

 morin was held. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Three weeks after being elected sheriff 

 of Camden County, New Jersey, for a 

 term of three years, Herbert W. Johnson 

 of the firm of Johnson & Stokes has ten- 

 dered his resignation to Governor Mur- 

 phy. The reason assigned by Sheriff John- 

 son for taking this step is his continued 

 poor health. At the present time he and 

 Mrs. Johnson are at Hot Springs, Va. 

 The sheriff it is said is threatened with 

 nervous prostration. A letter from Mrs. 

 Johnson states that this step was taken 

 by the sheriff by the order of his physi- 

 cian, who insisted that he retire from 

 office. The physiciaa advised that even
