The long white radishes, Vienna, Pearl

 with planters and the old favorite long 

 scarlet is falling back. 



Visited Chicago: — John Bodger, Jr.,

 returning from the east. He reports 

 business good all along the line. 



Wm. a, Bruce, for ten years shipping 

 clerk for J. M. Thorburn & Co., New 

 York, and before that connected with 

 Peter Henderson & Co. and the Cleve- 

 land Seed Co. for many years, died at 

 his home in Jersey City February 12. 



The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, has 

 opened a store at Jefferson Park. This 

 store is for the convenience of the mar- 

 ket gardeners in the northwest section of 

 Chicago and is near to the farm, trial 

 ground and onion set warehouse of the 

 company. 



Johnson & Musser Seed Co., Los An- 

 geles, Cal., have a new muskmelon for 

 which they predict a wonderful future, 

 saying ."its flavor is as near like the 

 Ambrosia of the gods as anything we 

 know." The melons keep from three to 

 six months and are not ready to eat 

 until the rind becomes slightly softened 

 and moist. They say they have only 

 eighty ounces of seed, which they offer

J. Kbub, of C. Keur & Son, Hillegom, 

 Holland, is traveling through the west 

 with two assistants. The firm has a 

 permanent representative in this country 

 at 334 The Bourse, Philadelphia. Mr. 

 Keur says the business being booked in 

 the United States this spring is the heav- 

 iest in the history of the house, and they 

 have been coming here for thirteen years. 



The situation generally in the seed 

 trade is reported to be satisfactory. 

 There seems to be enough onion seed for 

 the needs of the time and no serious 

 shortage of any but what are termed 

 "special stock" of the globe kinds is 

 anticipated. The canners now seem to 

 be supplied with the peas that were so 

 short awhile back and there is no special 

 run on anything in particular. Onion 

 sets are well cleaned up and this market 

 is expected to hold stiff. Present quota- 

 tions are $2,50 for red and yellow and 

 $3 for white.

THE VARD SEED CATALOGUE. 



After wasting three weeks in the fruit- 

 less attempt to secure from the post- 

 office department a reversal of the ruling 

 of the postmaster at Chicago, Montgom- 

 ery Ward & Co. have concluded that the 

 advancing season necessitates the mail- 

 ing of their seed catalogue without fur- 

 ther delay. They are therefore sending 

 out the books without the prize offers 

 they originally contained. 



As reported exclusively in the Review, 

 the post-office refused to admit the Wara 

 seed catalogue to the mails because of 

 these prize offers. It was necessary to 

 call back 50,000 books which were ready 

 for mailing, open the envelopes, strip 

 off the outside four pages (the books 

 were saddle stitched), rerun the four 

 pages, using other matter in place of the 

 prize offers, rebind and remail. It was
