be a case of recommending the next best 

 thing as demand arises. 



Ratekin's Seed House, Shenandoah, 

 Ta., has its catalogue out. 



ViLMOEiN, Andeieux & Cc, Paris, will 

 this season introduce a new bright red 

 -cineraria, called Cineraria hybrida a 

 grande fleur Matador. 



JOBBEES who want a fair price for 

 onion seed of known quality find the 

 offers of odd lots from unknown sources 

 have penetrated all sorts of places. 



The Fredonia Seed Co., Fredonia, N. 

 Y., has been incorporated, with $50,000 

 authorized capital stock. Frank M. 

 Boesch, Charles P. Sampson and Sidney 

 C. Eoesch are named as directors. 



The price of onion seed is worrying 

 some of the makers of retail catalogues. 

 Roughly, the Globe varieties should be 

 marked down a little, the flat varieties 

 left about as last year; then you will 

 be in line. 



Sluis Seed Stoee, Chicago, is a new 

 firm making a bid for the market gar- 

 den trade southwest of the city. The 

 location is 644 West Sixty-third street, 

 and the proprietors are N. Sluis, his 

 brother, John Sluis, and their nephew, 

 .James Sluis. 



The seed trade is practically unani- 

 mous in endorsing the idea of spocific 

 rather than ad valorem duties, and there 

 is reasonable prospect of the change be- 

 ing made. It looks as though the Ways 

 and Means committee, now engaged in 

 drafting a new tariff bill, would welcome 

 an opportunity to do something to the 

 present schedules, providing it does not 

 involve radical change in rates. 



Secretary James Wilson, of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture, is said to be 

 highly pleased with the results of the 

 work of the Department in securing 

 and testing samples of grass seeds, in 

 accordance with the act of Congress 

 providing for such tests. It is said the 

 publication of unfavorable results has 

 caused adulteration of forage plant seeds 

 practically to cease, except in the case 

 of Kentucky blue grass and orchard 

 grass, many adulterated lots of which 

 still are found.

When on the continent visit our grounds they are worth the trip. Catalogues are poor guides. In 

 nearly all instances the plants quoted are not to *be seen. At the the Holland Royal Nurseries at 

 Oudenboscb, thev can be seen I ! t 1 



Our nurseries, established in 1800. are the largest and best equipped on the European Continent, 

 and are favorably situated, having the best commuoication with Antwerp. Rotterdam and Flushing. 



Our soil consists of good black earth, somewhat sandy, without any mixture of moory ground.
