crops and although some seed crops have 

 suffered from too dry weather, the main 

 crops are fine and perfectly satisfactory 

 to both grower and dealer. 



The crop of German aster seeds is 

 good, as a result of fine fall weather, and 

 prices are below those of last year. 



The fall weather has been fine the 

 world over and has aided no little in in- 

 creasing the supply of many items in 

 seeds. 



The Alexander Seed Co., Augusta, Ga., 

 made a large display at the Georgia- 

 Carolina Fair this season, and considered 

 it an excellent advertisement. 



The Holland growers say nasturtium 

 is not so large a crop as last year, but 

 prices are lower on a majority of the 

 varieties and no brisk business is being 

 done.
