Texas truckers are now an important 

 factor in the mail order seed trade. 



"Seeds Which Succeed" is the in- 

 scription on the envelope which brings 

 the catalogue of the D. Landreth Seed 

 Co. . '

 ger of the Denver branch of the Bar- 

 teldes Seed Co.; A. B. Agnew, of the

The early catalogues are bringing a 

 rather better response than usual. Buy- 

 ers seem to understand the shortage in 

 certain lines and are ordering early to 

 be sure of getting what they want. 



"With ffew exceptions vine seed crops 

 wir be delivered in full, according to 

 latest reports. Sweet corn also Will be 

 sufficient for all needs. Eocky Ford, 

 Colo., evidently has a full crop of melon 

 seed of the ordinary strains and what 

 are termed the "specials" are offered 

 freely. 



Onion set prices are higher now than 

 they were at this time last year, and -the 

 outlook for the coming spring is for 

 higher prices than have ruled for sev- 

 eral years. As an indication of what 

 may be expected later on, present values 

 may be mentioned as follows: Eed and 

 yellow, $2 per bushel; white, $2.75. These 

 prices are for spring shipment on orders 

 given now. 



The seed advertising in the January 

 magazines is lighter than a year ago. 

 Seedsmen who study advertising have 

 found that "the direct command," the 

 advertising psychologists' latest hobby, 

 when put in the form ' ' Send for my seed 

 catalogue ! " is more likely to be obeyed 

 by people who want the pretty pictures 

 to amuse the children with, than it is 

 by those who buy seeds. 



Petunia Eheingold belongs to the 

 superbissima class of large-flowering 

 petunias. The widely opened, clear, 

 bright, golden-yellow throat is untar- 

 nished by the usual net of dark veins, 

 and with the pure white margin a mar- 

 velous effect is produced, much superior 

 to the old, pale-yellow forms marked 

 with dark veins. It is one of the sea- 

 son's novelties of David Sachs, Quedlip- 

 burg, Germany. 



The Globe varieties of onion seed re- 

 ceived as being crop of 1906 fall below 

 the standard as to germination, but the 

 flat sorts from the same sources test 

 well. It is upon the retailer that the 

 burden of a poor test of seed usually 

 falls. A grower may explain how it 

 happens that his seed does not test well

The seedsmen who depend wholly upon 

 their catalogues to bring them business, 

 and to whom a correct printed price 

 within said catalogue is of the utmost 

 importance, have had a hard row to hoe 

 to get their books out on time. Many 

 of them have been holding back expect- 

 ing to get fuller deliveries from the 

 onion seed growers, and the lack of defi-
