The Cox Seed Co., San Francisco, has 

 opened an office at 2077 Sutter street.. 



i About half of a normal crop of onion 

 s^ts is the prediction for the 1906 har- 

 vest. 



• No changes are reported in conditions 

 in the ppa, bean, radish or vine seed dis- 

 tricts. 



W. F. CoOKSHUTT, Brantford, Ont., is 

 clearing ground for a new seed building 

 oil Queen street. 



The Nebraska growers of cucumbers 

 for seed have said as little as possible 

 about their surpluses, but they have not 

 planted as large an acreage as usual. 



"Waldo Kohnert, Gilroy, Cal., was in 

 Chicago last week enroute to his old 

 home at Detroit for a brief stay prior 

 to the seedsmen's convention at To- 

 ledo. He says that the damage to on- 

 ions by mildew has not been greatly 

 overstated. 



Had the seedsmen elected to stand by 

 their first expression and meet next week 

 in California instead of Toledo, they 

 would have encountered a most unusual 

 season. It would have been a very in- 

 teresting trip, but doubtless it is better 

 that the California meeting should be 

 held when conditions are more nearly 

 normal. 



TRADERS' RESOURCES. 



As showing the resources of the big 

 general mail order houses which have 

 gone into the seed business the follow- 

 ing will be of interest: 



"Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago, said 

 to be the largest mail order, hous^e m the 

 world, is to be incorporated with $40,- 

 000,000 stock. Goldman, Sachs & Co. 

 are financing the incorporation. The 

 company will have $10,000,000 of seven 

 per cent preferred stock and $30,000,000 

 of the common stock. The quick assets 

 which will be turned into the treasury 

 of the company, it is said, will amount 

 to $10,000,000, equivalent to the total 

 issue of preferred stock." 



It is stated that in the year prior to 

 the removal of Sears, Roebuck & Co. to 

 their new buildings, their annual busi- 

 ness amounted to over $30,000,000, or 

 about $100,000 a day. Since moving to 

 the new site it is said the business is 

 nearly doubling. 



ENGLISH SEED CROPS. 



So far as present prospects can be 

 judged, beets, mangels, parsley and par- 

 snips growing for seed in Essex are 

 looking well. Swedes, turnips, cabbage 

 and other brassicas are much below the 



A BED OF MUSHROOMS 



Raised from our Spawn, will bear longer and yield better than from any other variety of 

 Spawn. This is proven by fact 8. Full particulars and information how to succeed in mushroom
