BRASLArra BRANCH OUT. 



Palo Alto, Cal. — The Braslan Seed 

 Growers' Co., of San Jose, has decided 

 to extend the scope of its operations by 

 coming to Palo Alto with a portion of 

 the enterprise. A tract of 800 acres, 

 known as the Sweeny property, lying be- 

 tween the Flood place and Ravenswood, 

 has been leased by this company for a 

 five-year period, and the entire tract will 

 be cultivated. A force of forty men is 

 already &t work cleaning up the property 

 and getting ready for active operations. 

 There are homestead buildings in good 

 condition which will meet all present re- 

 quirements without erecting other struc- 

 tures. 



C. P. Braslan, the president of the 

 company, has spent several days here 

 completing arrangements. He states that 

 the Sweeny tract will be' devoted to the 

 growing of onions, lettuce, beet and 

 flower seeds, with sweet pea seeds as a 

 specialty. The land is well adapted to 

 seed growing, being the rich alluvial land 

 along the bay shore. The tract lies about 

 a mile northeast of Palo Alto. 



ASSIGNEE HENRY'S GOOD WORK 



The affairs of the old firm of Clucas & 

 Boddington Co., New York, were closed 

 up September 30, so satisfactorily that 

 Franlj H. Henry, of Henry & Lee, who 

 was the assignee, is well entitled to the 

 little boost he gives himself in his final 

 report to the creditors, as follows: 



"As assignee for the benefit of cred- 

 itors of the Clucas & Boddington Co., 

 I send you herewith inclosed check to 

 your order in payment of the sum 

 awarded to you by the court, the same 

 being the final dividend of 15% per cent 

 of your claim against the above com- 

 pany. With the payment of this divi- 

 dend, you have received in the aggregate 

 30% per cent of ypur claim. 



"While I have accounted to the court 

 in detail for all moneys received and 

 disbursed by me, as assignee, and have 

 had my accounts in all respects ap- 

 proved, I know that the creditors have 

 not taken the time to examine them, and 

 hence take this opportunity of giving 

 them a brief summary of my acts as 

 assignee of the estate. 



"I was made assignee September 7, 

 1905, and at once took possession of the 

 assets, which consisted of outstanding 

 accounts (most of which were of doubt- 

 ful worthy, a small quantity of seeds 

 and bulbs, a few articles of ofl5ce furni- 

 ture, and thirty acjps of land at Sparkill,

N. Y., where the company had carried 

 on its nursery. 



' ' The above real estate had growing 

 upon it plants, shrubs and trees, which 

 were appraised at $2,250. The greater 

 portion of this growing stock, however, 

 in order to be preserved during the ap- 

 proaching winter, had to be kept in hot- 

 houses under artificial temperature at a 

 considerable expense. TTie real estate 

 and the nursery stock growing upon it 

 were covered by a first and second mort- 

 gage aggregating $7,575, the interest on 

 which and also the taxes of $150 were in 

 arrears. As the land was threatened 

 with foreclosure, and as a considerable 

 expense would necessarily be incurred in 

 caring for the nursery stock during the 

 winter, I took immediate steps to realize 

 on these assets, and by constant effort 

 succeeded in selling them and realized 

 for the estate the sum of $4,207.68. 



* ' While the actual value of the entire 

 assets of the estate at a fair valuation, 

 as shown by the inventory and schedules 

 filed in court, was $4,542.32, the total 

 sum realized by me amounted to the sum 

 of $9,169.16. The amount paid by me 

 for legal services, clerk hire, referee's 

 fees, my commissions, printing notices

GROUND FOR GLADIOLI. 



I am now harvesting the finest crop of 

 gladiolus bulbs I ever grew, notwithstand- 

 ing they have not had a soaking rain 

 since early in May, only light showers 

 and not many of them during June, July 

 and the fore part of August, and none 

 since. A success or partial failure was 

 never more plainly demonstrated than in 

 the selection of ground this season for 

 the culture of gladioli. I selected low 

 swamp ground, only two to three feet to 

 water, and used a fertilizer, potash, at 

 the rate of 1,800 pounds to the acre, in 

 the furrow, and had great success, as I 

 marketed over 30,000 spikes during July
