 the New York custom house announced

 Co., Nimes, exported February 25, 1907;

 retts, G. A.: Celery, Golden Paris Self-

DANISH SEED CROPS. 



Hjalmar Haitmann & Co., Copen- 

 hagen, Denmark, write under date of 

 May 30: "As far as the cauliflower is 

 concerned, the plants for this year 's crop 

 have overwintered fairly well, but the 

 cabbage heads planted November last, 

 especially the Danish Koundhead (short), 

 have taken damage owing to black frost, 

 and thirty to forty per cent of the heads 

 died off, so that it may influence serious- 

 ly the quantity of the crop of seeds. ' ' 



MILLS MOVES WEST. 



The F. B. Mills Co., the headquarters 

 of which are at Rose Hill, N. Y., has 

 arranged for the opening of a branch at 

 Washington, la., where F. B. Mills, pres- 

 ident of the concern, has spent some time 

 lately in arranging details. A brick 

 warehouse, 40x100 and four stories high, 

 with a switch from the C, M. & St. P. 

 B. R., will be built, work already having 

 commenced. Mr. Mills says the opening 

 of the branch is due to the rapid devel- 

 opment of the western business and his 

 conviction that a larger proportion of 

 the trade can be secured by a western 

 house than would be possible for one in 

 New York. 



The F. B. Mills business at Rose Hill 

 is twenty years old. A general seed and 

 plant trade is carried on. To a reporter 

 at Washington, la., Mr. Mills said that 

 of this year's catalogue 750,000 copies 

 wpTP printed and next year's edition

MICHIGAN CONDITIONS. 



M. B. Gray, treasurer of the McMor- 

 ran-Gray Co., Port Huron, Mich., 

 writes : 



"We are planting more peas than 

 usual this season, but the unusual condi- 

 tions cause us anxiety. Some peas are 

 still being planted, but we fear they are 

 apt to suffer from the hot weather next 

 month. The planting, which began about 

 a month ago, has been desultory and the 

 growth slow. All peas will be late this 

 season, probably three weeks, at least. 



"On account of the surpluses in the 

 country we have cut down the amount 

 of beans we are planting this season. 

 We could place almost any quantity at 

 reasonable prices, but the orders are hard 

 to jret."
