to 3 marks higher next season for the 

 best grades. This is from advice just 

 received from Germany. 



Seedsmen interested in the market 

 gardeners ' trade should take a look at 

 page 51. 



Seedsmen will be interested in the 

 closing paragraphs of the "Notes From 

 England, ' ' on another page of this issue. 



The politicians once more insist our 

 esteemed friend, Mr. Wilson, is about to 

 resign as Secretary of Agriculture. 



W. Atlee Burpee says he has been 

 behind hand with his catalogue work this 

 season, but the book is ready for mailing 

 on the usual days. 



A. C. ZvoLANEK, Bound Brook, \. J., 

 is on his annual trip to the sweet pea 

 seed growing districts in California, 

 somewhat earlier than usual. 



Speculation continues to make the 

 clover seed price. It will until after the 

 holidays. Then the spring demand should 

 be felt. Most large speculative dealers 

 are bullish. 



A note and illustration on the tomato 

 trials of the Livingston Seed Co., in- 

 tended for this department, appears on 

 page 15 of this issue because of lack of 

 room on this page. 



More than 250,000 pounds of sun- 

 flower seed were raised in the vicinity 

 of Bethlehem, Ky., during the past sea- 

 son, all of which has been marketed. One 

 buyer handled 162,000 pounds. It is 

 said that those who raise the seed do not 

 know what it is used for. 



The Khudy & Hall Seed Co., of Kan- 

 sas City, Kan., has bought for $1,200 

 the stock of the William A. Duncan Seed 

 Co., of St. Joseph, which filed a volun- 

 tary petition in bankruptcy November 30. 

 The sale was made through J. J. Garth, 

 temporary receiver for the bankrupt con- 

 cern. 



An authority in the lima bean market 

 says that the California crop consists of 

 about a million bags, but points out that 

 this seemingly large quantity, eighty 

 million pounds, is in reality less than a 

 pound apiece for the people of the 

 United States. It is said that Pennsyl- 

 vania mining towns consume a fifth of 

 the crop. 



The Smithfield Club cattle show, held 

 in London, England, the first week in 

 December every year, is noted, among 

 several other things, for the great assem- 

 blage of seed merchants who come up 

 from the country to buy their supply of 

 seeds for the season's trade, and many 

 transactions always take place at this 

 show. We understand that one wholesale 

 house has paid at this show as much as 

 100 sWlings per hundredweight (21.78 

 cents per pound), for Golden Tankard 

 mangel, and he has to make some profit 

 on this. It is understood that the retail 

 price for this article will be from 40 to 

 48 cents per pound. A considerable
