oorn. Tlie ruling price for the first few 

 years for turnip, beet and parsnip to 

 tile trade was 40 cents per pound, cab- 

 bage $3 per pound and sweet corn $3 

 per bushel. 



Mr. Woodruff in his early days took 

 up market gardening and his records 

 show some fabulous prices for vegeta- 

 bles. Everything was sold in a whole- 

 sale way, cabbage bringing $25 per 

 liundrcd heads, sweet corn $5 per hun- 

 «lred ears, tomatoes $3 per bushel and 

 Jiima beaii.s .$3 per bushel. 



In recent years Mr. Woodruff con- 

 lined his business to growing seeds for 

 tiio wholesale trade and in 1892 the pres- 

 xnt partnership was formed by taking 

 ill his two sons. Frank C. and Watson S. 

 Woodruff. The firm has been progressive 

 and kept pace with the remarkable 

 strides that are general throughout the 

 seed trade. Where pound.s and quarts 

 were handled years ago hundreds of 

 pounds Mild liundred.s of bushels are 

 Juindled now. 



The firm made a specialty of garden 

 •seeds in variety, growing extensively on 

 its own farms such seecls as beet, car- 

 rot, parsnip, turnip, onion, tomato, sweet 

 «orn, etc., and also made a specialty of 

 Maine seed potatoes and onion sets. 

 Their seedpotato business in particular 

 has grown to very large proportions. 

 They have seedpotato storehouses in 

 Aroostook county, Maine, and have re- 

 cently leased a large house at Queens, 

 l/ing Island, where a liberal stock will 

 be carried in addition to their places of 

 business at Orange, Conn., and New 

 York city, where they have a store at 

 S2 Dey street. The business will be 

 <arried on as usual by the sons, upon 

 whom the management has devolved for 

 some time. 



Mr. Woodruff held many positions of 

 trust. He had twice represented his 

 town in the legislature. Besides the two 

 sons associated with him in business he 

 leaves another son, Eobert J., prosecut- 

 ing attorney for the common pleas court 

 of New Haven county, and one daugh- 

 ter, Mary.
