SEED VAEEHOUSE COLLAPSES. 



Another seed warehouse collapsed Jan- 

 uary 11, the third to give down in the 

 present season. This was that of the 

 Amzi Godden Seed Co., Birmingham, 

 Ala. It is a single-story building. The 

 floor fell from its height of four feet to 

 the ground and the side walls were 

 warped and shaken. Ten men were at 

 work in the building at the time, but no 

 one was hurt. No damage was done the 

 stock, although the accident caused some 

 delay, as the stock had to be removed. 

 President McVay put a gang of men at 

 work immediately to make repairs. 



IMPORTS. 



The imports of seed through the port 

 of New York fpr the week ending Jan- 

 uary 9 were as follows: 



Kind. Pkgs. Val. Kind. Pkgs. Val.

In the same period the imports of 

 bulbs, trees and plants were valued at 

 $10,382. 



VINE SEEDS. 



A correspondent at Lakin, Kan., who 

 signs himself J. W. L., tells the Kural 

 New Yorker how vine seeds are grown, 

 as follows: 



"One of the' reasons why seeds cannot 

 be guaranteed is that very few are will- 

 ing to pay the price. We grow large 

 quantities of vine seed here, both for the 

 wholesale dealers and the government, 

 getting from 10 to 20 cents per pound.
