A STUNT FOR LUTHER. 



"No other name 

 To BuEbank's fame 



Could ever bold a candle, 

 If that wise gent 

 Would but invent 



A melon with a handle." 



Practically all vine seeds are worth 

 good money this year. 



Beans are turning out fully as light 

 a crop has been anticipated. 



Onion seed is not of so great interest 

 as it was at this date a year ago. 



Reports are to the effect that both 

 bouquet green and holly will be of good 

 quaUty and plentiful this year. 



Sweet corn will be, with few excep- 

 tions, probably equal to the demand and 

 of much better quality than last year. 



Oliver Bell, who is in charge of the 

 interests of the Laughlin Seed Co., San 

 Jose, Cal., at Kenton, O., states that they 

 grow onion seed only, no sets, in Ohio. 



G. B. McVay says that the seed and 

 plant business in Birmingham, Ala., has 

 increased twenty-five per cent as the re- 

 sult of the "city beautiful" movement 

 there. 



The work of pricing the retail cata- 

 logues is rendered easier by the whole- 

 sale lists that are coming to hand, but 

 these latter discourage any idea of ad- 

 vancing prices in proportion to the shojt- 

 ages on the scarcest items. 



The com crop of the United States 

 will surpass expectations. The average 

 yield will be 26.2 bushels per acre, indi- 

 cating a total production of 2,642,687,- 

 000, or over 50,000,000 bushels in excess 

 if last year's yield, according to the 

 preliminary estimates announced in the 

 government crop report for November, 

 issued November 9. The yield per acre 

 in 1907 was 25.9, as finally estimated, 

 and averaged 25.6 for ten years. 



BEST SHELF JARS FOR SEED. 



Please let me know from whom I 

 C£.n buy seed bottles suitable for carry- 

 ing all kinds of garden seed on the 

 shelf, to dispense for the retail. 



J. E. F. 



The most economical and practical 

 bottle for this purpose is the Mason jar, 

 in quart or pint sizes, as desired. With 

 a good lithographed label on them, they 

 look well on the shelf, and they are 

 safe, owing to the firm fitting cover, 

 which is 80 easily removed and screwed 

 on again. For display only, the globe- 

 shaped bottle is the proper thing, but 

 it is of no value when dispensing seed is
