EUROPEAN SEED TRADE NOTES. 



As far as the general trade is con- 

 cerned the seed trade is practically at 

 a standstill in England. In the whole- 

 sale trade every &rm of importance is 

 working at full strength receiving de- 

 livery of the season's crops and contract 

 growths, and warehouses are getting 

 quite fnll. In fact, some of the large

MR. HENRY ASSUMES. 



Ijnder date of November 15, Frank H. 

 Henry, assignee for Clucas & Boddington 

 Co., sends out the following notice to 

 creditors of that concern: 



"I beg to advise you that I have as- 

 sumed the responsibility of distributing 

 to the creditors of the assigned estate of 

 the Clucas & Boddington Co., fifteen per 

 cent of the amount of their lawful 

 claims, and have in my possession check 



to your order for in payment of 



the dividend upon your claim against the 

 estate. Upon the return of the enclosed 

 receipt, duly signed by you, I will for- 

 ward you your check forthwith. 



"The collection of the assets of the 

 estate and the adjustment of the obliga- 

 tions against it, have consumed more of 

 my time and attention than I antici- 

 pated, although the result is gratifying, 

 inasmuch as it has resulted in a larger 

 dividend to the creditors than I antici- 

 pated would be paid them. There are 

 still two notes due the estate for $1,750 

 each, maturing the first days of January 

 and July, 1907, and I shall use every 

 means to collect the same. If I succeed, 

 there will be a further dividend to the 

 creditors of about ten to twelve per 

 cent. ' '

farm seeds report a considerable defi- 

 ciency of warehouse accommodations, and 

 some large provincial firms inform me 

 that the increase of business the last two 

 yeats necessitates the increasing of their 

 storage capacity and cleaning machinery. 



In crop reports radish stocks are still 

 further discounted, and an alarming 

 scarcity in this article may be expected. 

 The general French crops of other lines 

 are turning out after harvesting and 

 dressing about as estimated. I think by 

 appearances no further shortage than 

 already reported may be expected. 



I recently inspected a consignment of 

 garden peas from Australia. For some 

 time English seedsmen have experiment- 

 ed with peas grown in that country, but 

 usually these trials have resulted in a 

 failure. The particular lot in question 

 had sweated on the long journey, caus- 

 ing the grains to become white with 

 mould. On inquiry I found that the 

 growths from any lots that may arrive

Comet Tomato 



Those who force tomatoes should give 

 "Comet" a trial. This variety has been the talk 

 of gardeners around Boston the past season. 

 Those who have seen it growing declare there's 

 nothing to compare with it. Seed, $6.00 per oi.

 spindly and the pods much smaller than 

 from seed grown in colder countries. 

 The warmer condition under which they 

 are grown seems to quite take away their 

 natural vigor and hardiness. B. J.
