Crop shortages do not affect the con- 

 gressional seed shop. The annual distri- 

 bution has begun. 



FiBE at Chicago January 9 destroyed 

 an onion set warehouse of H. H. Chester, 

 together with some 30,000 bushels of 

 sets. 



Once more the cry goes up that the 

 available supply of capable assistants is 

 not equal to handling the increase in the 

 seed business. 



If advance prices for the 1910 pack of 

 peas are any indication, the canners have 

 all the seed required, for they are no 

 higher than last year. 



The granddaughter of Robert Buist, 

 Philadelphia, who left home December 

 29, was found at Chicago January 10 and 

 has been returned to her relatives. 



W. H. Baeeett, Adrian, Mich., has 

 bought a vacant factory building 60x320 

 and two stories high, and says he will use 

 it exclusively for handling tomato seeds. 



E. V. Ceine, seedsman, nurseryman and 

 florist at MorganviUe, N. J., makes a 

 specialty of corn, pepper and tomato 

 seeds, the latter being his principal spec- 

 ialty and grown in a large way. 



W. W, Eawson & Co., Boston, have 

 issued a new pamphlet on sweet pea cul- 

 ture in which they reverse their former 

 advice to use nitrate of soda, which they 

 now say causes the buds to drop and 

 bUght. 



Politics are seething at Washington, 

 and other matters must be of large im- 

 portance to receive consideration, but it 

 looks as though this session of congress 

 might result in some progress in the per- 

 ennial fight against the free seeds. 



"Peas are scarcer than has ever been 

 known before," say W. Atlee Burpee & 

 Co., in their Annual. "From our inti- 

 mate acquaintance and personal inspec- 

 tions of stocks grown in England (al- 

 though the crops there were also distress- 

 ingly short), we have succeeded in mak- 

 ing up most of our normal requirements. 

 The prices paid, in most cases, have been 

 double the usual cost of production, so 

 that even with the higher prices quoted 

 this season our margin of profit is less 

 than half what is usually considered nec- 

 essary and fair. * '
