Alfalfa is a word of Arabic origin 

 and means "the best fodder." 



These are reported to be considerable 

 quantities of Gladiolus Colvillei still in 

 the hands of the Holland growers. 



Faequhae & Co., Boston, have leased 

 the building at 8 and 9 South Market 

 street, adjoining their present quarters, 

 and will double their space. 



On the whole, peas are not becoming 

 any cheaper, although concessions are to 

 be had on a few of the sorts in less 

 active demand. The canners' kinds are 

 still going up. 



The "Wholesale Seedsmen 's League has 

 designated Henry W. Wood, Eichmond, 

 Va., S. F. Willard, Wetherafield, Conn., 

 and Walter P. Stokes, Philadelphia, as a 

 committee to observe and report on any 

 proposed legislation in congress on the 

 subject of pure seeds. 



The Holland bulb salesmen, who have 

 been arriving in the country earlier and 

 earlier each season, are now quite nu- 

 merous in the west, but are reported as 

 not being welcomed with open arms by 

 the smaller buyers, who would rather de- 

 lay placing orders till March or April. 

 The big seed houses are expected to buy 

 more liberally than last year, as a result 

 of the unexpectedly good demand for out- 

 door planting.
