jority of seedsmen everywhere. But 

 at the height of the season the rush 

 was the heaviest ever known and the 

 demand has continued later than usual. 

 Some individual experiences follow, 



Amzi Godden Co., Birmingham, Ala. 



We are pleased to say that our mail 

 order business this season has been very 

 satisfactory, that it has been at least 

 thirty-five i er cent to forty per cent 

 more than for the past season. Our mail 

 orders are still coming in nicely and the 

 inquiries are heavy for this season of 

 the year. One of the special features 

 is the fact that farmers are showing 

 that they intend to diversify their 

 planting and are ordering more grass 

 and forage crop seeds. Our trucking 

 business has increased very much. At 

 present our retaM store trade is very 

 fine, as we have a large plant business. 



D. P. Durban. 



H. G-. Hastings & Co., Atlanta, Ga. 



Our season just closing has been very 

 satisfactory indeed. It seemed to open 

 a little slowly at first, but at the height 

 of the season the volume of business 

 was the largest that we have ever han- , 

 died, and during the latter half of the 

 season trade has been far ahead of 



SEVEN TOP TURNIP 



C Originally introduced by us from South Carolina In 1850 and annually trrown for over 

 sixty years under the zero winter temperature of Bioomsdale Farms, the Landreths' 

 strain of Seven Top has obtained, by this northern culture, a hardiness not approached 

 by southern-grown seed. All inferences would point that way, while thousands of exper- 

 iments have conclusively proven It beyond a shadow of doubt; consequently, one pound 

 of Landreths' Seven Top will in the dead of winter produce more greens than can be cut 

 from three times the more delicate southern-grown Seven Top.

anything we have ever had during a 

 similar period in past years. The rap- 

 idly growing demand in our section for 

 hay and forage crops is creating a 

 much longer season than has been the 

 case heretofore, and while much of the 

 business is in items with a low margin 

 ot prpfit, neA-fPtheless it is very satis- 

 factory and w'e "conside? it an excellent 

 tendency, both from an agricultural 

 point of view and from our own. We
