The catalogues are now pretty nearly 

 all out. 



The Texarkana Seed and Implement 

 Co., Texarkana, Tex., has been incor- 

 porated, with $2,500 capital stock, by 

 K. H. Leonard, C. C. Ratcliff and B. P. 

 Dorough. 



Shipments from "the other side" are, 

 as usual, quite behindhand in many cases. 

 This causes considerable annoyance to the 

 American seedsman who wants to fill his 

 early orders in full. 



Seed bean crops harvested in 1908 

 were far below the average and the mill- 

 ing and hand picking process now going 

 on shortens them even more than the 

 most pessimistic grower anticipated. 



The short deliveries of beets and some 

 other standard varieties of garden seeds 

 that are being made by the foreign 

 houses is making itself felt and, as the 

 season advances, is likely to cause con- 

 siderable worry. 



There is a shortage of many of the 

 named sorts of sweet peas, according to 

 reports. Sweet pea . prices have been 

 low for some years back; too low for 

 profit to the grower, apparently, and a 

 lessened supply it is thought will bring 

 things back to where they should be. 



In a short time the January onion set 

 orders will be moving out. It is reported 

 that so far the onion sets have kept well. 

 Future values depend upon whether the 

 shrink is much or little, and this point 

 cannot be determined definitely until the 

 sets are taken from the piles and run 

 through the mills. When this has been 

 done the spring values of onion sets can 

 be estimated.

The canners' convention at Louisville 

 February 1 will probably, have some 

 effect in stiffening prices of the canners' 

 seeds, both for present shipment and for 

 future contract orders. The canners in 

 some cases are holding off for lower rates 

 on the contract proposition, but there is 

 no indication that prices now current will
