state as in the Dakotas, it follows that 

 seed corn is in a similar condition. 



"Usually farmers do not test their 

 seed until just before planting time, and 

 if it should prove to be bad, they are in 

 a serious predicament. 



"For several years corn has increased 

 in importance in this state and it is now 

 one of the leading crops. A loss of a 

 large portion of the seed would be a 

 serious misfortune to the farmers, and 

 consequently to the state." 



Jesse E. Northrup, of Northrup, King 

 & Co., realizing the importance to the 

 state of insuring a bountiful corn crop 

 next year, has authorized the newspapers 

 to announce to the farmers that his firm 

 will test free of charge all seed corn 

 sent to it for that purpose, and send a 

 careful report. 



LONGIFLORUM AND VALLEY. 



We would like to know the tempera- 

 ture at which longiflorum bulbs and val- 

 ley pips should be carried in cold stor- 

 age. H. H. C. 



We store our lily of the valley pips at 

 about 26 degrees and our Japanese lilies 

 at about 34 degrees. We have found 

 that the latter temperature keeps the lon- 

 giflorums in splendid condition for sum- 

 mer and autumn forcing. 



Wm. Hagemann & Co. 



W.W.RAWSON CO. 



This well known Boston firm first 

 opened for business at 34 South Market 

 street in 1884, Everett & Gleason being 

 bought out. Mr. Gleason stayed with 

 the new firm some time and is now a 

 member of the Schlegel & Fottler Co. 

 Mr. BUss, the well known pea dissemi- 

 nator, was also employed here. In 1897 

 a move was made to 12 and 13 Faneuil 

 Hall square, one-half of the lower floor 

 being occupied. This was the first occa- 

 sion of a Boston seed house locating on 

 the ground floor ; other houses have since 

 followed suit. In 1900 the increase of 

 business necessitated the taking over of 

 the whole building. 



On March 23, 1906, a disastrous fire 

 practically wiped out the Eawson com- 

 pany's building and stock. Quite a lit- 

 tle business was transacted in the burned 

 building without a roof until July, when 

 the firm moved to its present commodi-
