a force of habit that they still keep up this 

 plcayuDelsb graft of a perverted seed farce, 

 which nobody wants or appreciates and which 

 only lowers the congress in the mind of the 

 recipient. I hope that you will not take this 

 as a personal reflection, for It is not intended 

 as such. I know there are plenty members of 

 the opinion 1 am on the matter, only unfortu- 

 nately not enough. 



A number of congressmen who are 

 seeking re-election are sending to con- 

 stituents, franked letters ^vith or regard- 

 ing the seeds. The question has been 

 raised if this is not a ' ' personal use ' ' of 

 the franking privilege laying the con- 

 gressman liable to a penalty for each 

 letter.

Seed Notes. 



Wm. E. Everett, of Indianapolis has 

 purchased the seed end of the business 

 of the receiver of J. A. Everett, his 

 brother, and will continue in business at 

 the old stand. No catalogue will be 

 issued this season, but it is the aim of 

 W. E. Everett to carry on the mail order 

 business again another year. 



D. F. Bash, formerly a member of the 

 firm of S. Bash & Co., Fort Wayne, Ind., 

 is opening a seed store in Indianapolis 

 and will conduct a general seed and far- 

 mer's supply business and in the course 

 of time do something in the way of job- 

 bing both garden and field seeds. 



Most of the leading seedsmen are 

 busily engaged at Atlantic City this 

 week attending the canners' convention 

 and trying to dispose of a surplus lot of 

 sweet corn. Cr.

 makes the following report under date 

 of .January 27: 



' ' .Just to touch the crop-results of the 

 sc^■e^ll clover seeds, there is but little 

 red clover raised in the Palatinate. Aus- 

 tria has a medium crop. Ritssia is not in 

 the market owing to the unsettled con- 

 ditions, and from France and Italy, who 

 as a rule take an active part in the 

 trade, arrivals are missing. Lucerne has 

 suffered in quality during the harvest by 

 unfavorable weather: superior grades of 

 Provence seed are scarce and have conse- 

 quently gone up in price. White clover 

 is a small crop, but stocks of yearling

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES. 



The grass and clover seed trade has 

 opened this yesr in rather an unsatis- 

 faotorv state. The crops of many 

 articles, especially red clover, are very 

 light. France and Italy have very little 

 for export. White clover is a bad crop, 

 but prices will probably not rise much, 

 owing to large supplies of yearling seed 

 still on hand. Russian supplies appear 

 to be totnllv missing. Buyers may look 

 for prices in this particular branch of 

 the trade to advance considerably as the 

 season goes on.

Lucern appears to have suffered 

 through unfavorable weather conditions. 

 There are conflicting reports, but prices 

 Avill probably rise sharply. Alsike looks 

 like also going up in price; it appears to 

 be short all over Europe, but the United 

 States will have a plentiful supply in 

 the good Canadian crop of this article. 



In spite of the reports of Italy being 

 short of red clover. I notice Italian firms 

 are quoting for really fine samples,
