clared that he would not sell until he 

 could get $4, and he has most of them

 Alaska peas could probably be found if 

 wanted. 



Amzi Godden Co., Birmingham, Ala. 

 — The season's business, which is now 

 practically over with us, has been larger 

 in volume and more profitable than any 

 preceding one. The April frost added 

 considerably to the profits as well as 

 volume. Both large and small demand 

 for certain varieties of seed has been 

 surprises of the season. The seed that 

 were in unusual demand this season are 

 as follows: Dwarf beans, both wax and 

 green pods; egg plant, canteloupe, water 

 melon, okra, onion sets, pepper, potatoes, 

 both Irish and sweet; pumpkins, radish, 

 tomato, cucumber, lettuce and all sorts of 

 grass seed and forage plants. Those 

 that showed weakness or poor demand 

 may be enumerated as follows: Pole 

 beans, limas, cabbage, carrots, celery, 

 corn, all sorts ; peas, spinach, squash and 

 turnip. The acreage in peas was greatly 

 reduced this season and nearly every 

 grower has lost money on the crop; con- 

 sequently the demand for peas another 

 season is bound to be poor. The bean and 

 radish business has been extravagantly 

 overdone and great losses are expected, 

 some already apparent. 



Wood, Stxibbs & Ck)., Louisville, Ky. — 

 The seed business at Louisville this year 

 has been considerably larger than ever 

 before and all dealers report increased 

 volume of business. The markets have 

 been so efrratic in prices, however, that 

 it will be very hard to tell until inven- 

 tory whether or not the profits have 

 been increased in proportion to the vol- 

 ume of business. Stocks in this market 

 are fairly well exhausted on all lines of 

 grasses, clovers, etc., and indications are 

 for the present season that grass seed 

 crops in this immediate vicinity will be 

 fairly good, though it is hard to tell 

 until three or four weeks later what the 

 yield will be. The onion set acreage is 

 about the same as last year and the crop 

 at the present time is doing well. This 

 market on this commodity is probably 

 as large as any in the United States, and 

 Louisville sets are shipped from Mani- 

 toba to the Gulf. There is always such 

 a great diflFerence in the price between 

 those bought in the fall and those 

 bought in the spring that the tendency 

 is among dealers in other parts of the 

 country to buy their sets from Louisville 

 in the fall and keep them until spring, 

 which practice has proven a very profit- 

 able one, and has increased, for it is a 

 fact that sets grown here will keep vety 

 much better than sets grown in other 

 sections. The garden crops are at pres- 

 ent looking very well, and indications 

 are that the yield of potatoes, cabbage, 

 peas and other early crops will be quite 

 large. Wheat and grasses are doing well, 

 and reports from all over this state! as 

 well as the south indicate enormous crops 

 will be produced if the weather continues 

 favorable. We have had an unusually 

 favorable spring for doing work and the 

 season is considerably ahead of the same 

 period of last year and a good many 

 years previous. Garden seed stocks are 

 fairly well cleaned up, with the excep- 

 tion of peas and sweet corns.

has been good and active and fully equal 

 to last year, but not much, if any, 

 ahead. While we have probably handled 

 more pounds and bushels of seed this 

 year than we did last, yet prices were 

 lower on many varieties. Hence in dol- 

 lars and cents our business is not ahead 

 of last year. From best information 

 which we receive through our custom- 

 ers we think the spring trade is proving 

 to be a very good one and it is our opin- 

 ion that the! quantity of seed of the three 

 staple articles, peas, beans and sweet 

 corn, that will remain unsold at the end 

 ot the season will be very small. No 

 need of prophesying what the present 

 year's crop will give us. It is altogether 

 too early to consider this.
