W. W. Rawson & Co., Boston, are this 

 year celebrating their twenty-fifth anni- 

 versary. 



On the boat from Hamburg, reaching 

 J^ew York January 9, Eoelker & Son had 

 twenty-five cases of valley pips, and H. 

 F. Darrow five cases. 



The seed trade is a unit in advocat- 

 ing specific duties, but in a good many 

 lines of manufactures the tariff framers 

 are being told that ad valorem duties 

 are the only fair ones. 



Now that the best stocks of the Globe 

 varieties of onion seed are down to where 

 they formerly were, it is thought that 

 there will be much less chance of the 

 planter trying to grow his own seed. 



The seed potato prices in some of the 

 catalogues issued early are quite too low 

 compared with the current market price 

 of eating tubers. A change of condi- 

 tions may even things up before shipping 

 time, however. 



There has been quite an advance in 

 the price of onions; 60 cents per bushel 

 has been paid at the car during the week. 

 If onions reach $1 per bushel during the 

 next month it will mean a great deal to 

 seedsmen by adding to the demand for 

 onion seed. 



The house committee on agriculture, 

 now at work on the annual appropriation 

 bill, has inserted the usual paragraph 

 providing for the congressional free 

 seed distribution, bids for the stock for 

 which are this week being received at 

 Washington. 



J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York, in- 

 clude with this year's general catalogue, 

 which by the way is the one hundred and 

 eighth, an eight page order blank which 

 makes it necessary for the customer to 

 do no more than set down the quantities 

 of vegetable seeds wanted and foot up 

 the cost. 



The stiff cold weather of the past 

 week has kept the onion set shipper 

 guessing. Below zero weather is hard on 

 an onion set shipment that is in transit 

 during this temperature, even though it 

 be contained in a refrigerator car. In 

 this connection it is wqU to again state 

 that frost does not hurt the onion set. 

 The main thing to be remembered is to 

 let them thaw out gradually and spread 

 them out to allow the moisture to dry off.
