 the seed trade. 



The seed catalogues have been coming 

 to hand in greater number this week than 

 at any previous time. Not all were early, 

 but nearly all are now in the hands of the 

 people. 



C. C. Morse & Co. report that the 

 weather conditions in the Santa Clara 

 valley have so far this season been very 

 favorable, the rains coming at just about 

 the right times. 



The large seed houses in eastern cities 

 say January business was about equal to 

 that of last year and in a few instances 

 slightly greater. It was something of a 

 disappointment, for most houses had 

 made greater effort than ever before to

G. S. May, formerly with tue Cox Seed 

 Co., San Francisco, Cal., has opened a 

 general seed store at 257 and 259 Market 

 street, San Francisco, under the title of 

 the May Seed Co. He opened for busi- 

 ness about the middle of December and 

 reports trade as excellent thus far. He 

 will soon issue a catalogue.

 ernment free seeds is progressing slowly.

 stroyed by fire. It is, however, expected 

 to have the output packeted in season so

The prediction that there would event- 

 ually develop a suflScient quantity of 

 seeds for the season's needs seems possi- 

 ble of fulfillment, if such a surplus list 

 as that of the Barteldes Seed Co., issued 

 at Lawrence, Kan., February 1, is an
