The returns from the early catalogues 

 are said to have been unusually prompt 

 this year. 



The southern business in vegetable 

 seeds, mostly gardening varieties, is 

 opening earlier than last year, and 

 stronger. 



Peas are not so scarce but that some 

 considerable lots are on offer at moderate 

 price and with the vender's assurance of 

 quality. Alaska is among the sorts of- 

 fered. 



J. Walter Evans, formerly with the 

 Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, O., in 

 company with L. O. V. Evans, has gone 

 into business at Marysville. Cal., as the 

 Marysville Flower and Seed Co. 



The daily newspapers of the big cities 

 have been featuring this week the elope- 

 ment of a grand-daughter of Robert 

 Buist, Philadelphia, and record that one 

 of Mr. Buist 's chief aids in the hunt for 

 the girl and her companion was Howard 

 W. Earle. 



The 1910 catalogue of Arthur T. Bod- 

 dington again contains a 16-page order 

 sheet, containing in condensed form a 

 list of everything in seeds in the book, 

 with blank spaces for the customer 's use. 

 This order sheet -worked so -well in 1909 

 that it is used again. 



L. H. Archias entertained the em- 

 ployees of the Archias' Seed Store cor- 

 poration at a turkey dinner at his home 

 New Year 's day. The host Avas presented 

 \nt\i a cut glass cream and sugar bowl, 

 L. A. Kipping, vice-president, attended 

 the farmers' meeting and corn show at 

 Columbia, Mo., that week. 



Spontaneous combustion caused a fire 

 in the second story of the building occu- 

 pied by the Stocker Seed Co., Peoria, HI., 

 on the night of January 1. The blaze 

 was discovered by a watchman, and ex- 

 tinguished by the firemen before the 

 building was destroyed. Several thou- 

 sand dollars' worth of seeds were lost. 



NEBRASKANS' TROUBLES. 



Writing on the last day of the old year, 

 Wm. Emerson, manager for the Western 

 Seed and Irrigation Co., had this to say 

 of the recent experience of Nebraska seed 

 growers : 



"There is not much news in the way 

 of notes for the trade, excepting that 

 the Nebraska growers have been seriously 

 put back with the harvesting of all late 

 seed crops, also sweet and field corn, by 

 the numerous heavy snow storms during 

 the last six or seven weeks. Many of the 

 crops are still in the fields, or at least a

portion of them are, and some of them 

 are buried in the snow. This will reduce 

 the crops considerably and will result in 

 reducing the deliveries of some varieties 

 of sweet corn and field corn on contract 

 orders. Many of the crops of pumpkin 

 and squash were caught in the same way 

 and it has been impossible for the grow- 

 ers to wash and dry these late seed crops 

 under favorable conditions, many of 

 which will probably be unfit for seed, 

 causing short deliveries on a number of 

 varieties of pumpkin and squash and in 

 some cases total failures."
