February 13. Each succeeding year adds 

 to the attendance of seed trade repre- 

 sentatives at this convention, and it is 

 said that extra effort is being put forth 

 to get them out this year. 



One seedsman figured that it cost him 

 $1.50 to make each sale by advertising 

 his catalogue in the general magazines. 

 At the end of the season he found the 

 orders so obtained averaged $1.25 each. 



The following seed growers visited the 

 Twin Cities last week: W. H. Grenell, 

 Saginaw, Mich.; E. H. Parmelee, of the 

 J. H, Allan Seed Co., Sturgeon Bay, 

 Wis., and C. P. Braslan, San Jose, Cai. 



Mo.ST seedsmen count gains in Janu- 

 ary and February as so much velvet.

 have all the business that can be handled, 

 and gains are more difficult to make. 



Texas has a Corn Growers' Associa- 

 tion which has done much to improve 

 the character of seed used by its mem- 

 bers, and following its annual meeting at 

 Waco, January 31, a Texas Seed Grow- 

 ers' Asosciation is to be organized, the 

 principal object of which is to be the 

 improvement of cotton, but all other 

 kinds of seeds will be within its scope. 



The pulling powers of the catalogues 

 do not seem seriously impaired because

The rains continue in California and

The week of cold weather, general

The seed trade is being asked to start 

 a market gardeners' journal at Louis- 

 ville, Ky., by buying subscriptions in 

 bulk. The man on the road is from the 

 force of Wood, Stubbs & Co., and states 

 that this firm is behind the project. 



AS OTHERS SEE US. 



A big firm of European seedsmen, who 

 shall be nameless here, offers the follow- 

 ing view of the American seed trade: 

 "We find that as a rule the American 

 seedsmen are strongly imbued with a de- 

 sire for cheapness. It is no use offering 

 a good article and expecting a good 

 price for it, as the average seedsman
