were drawbacks, however, mainly due to 

 Bhort deliveries. The warm weather 

 in March caused an unusual influx of 

 orders early in the season, with a cor- 

 responding dearth of orders in April, 

 when cold weather again set in. The 

 demand for both farm and garden seeds 

 during May has been unusually active, 

 and there never was a time when stocks 

 were so thoroughly cleaned up with

With us the catalogue trade of 1910 

 will hardly equal 1909 in volume of 

 business. January and February were 

 very cold, and we had no weather to 

 induce seed buying. March came with 

 unprecedentedly warm weather, which 

 was so general all over the country 



that we had an influx of orders from 

 every quarter. In April we had our 

 March weather, so that from a seeds- 

 man's point of view conditions have 

 been rather unusual, and therefore 

 unfavorable to a large trade. Then, too, 

 the prices of several standard items 

 were unusually high. 



Had it not been for the unusual 

 weather and high prices, we believe this 

 would have been a banner year.

It is early to say ' what our total 

 spring business will amount to, as our 

 season continues well past the middle 

 of June. Our March showed double 

 last year's trade, but April fell off 

 one-third. The first half of May was 

 much below normal, although we liave 



had unusual tra^e in perennials, but 

 since May 15 we have had warm 

 weather, plenty of rain and the accom- 

 panying rush. The outlook for trade ii 

 tender vegetable and bedding plants is 

 highly promising. 



Livingston Seed Co., Colambus, O. 



We believe the present season's busi- 

 ness with us has shown a slight gain on 

 previous years. This is probably due, 

 however, to our somewhat increased 

 advertising appropriation, and we do 

 not believe that, in the main, the season 

 has been any more favorable in the 

 seed trade than that of 1909. Seed 

 potatoes, both Irish and sweet, also 

 onion sets, gradually declined in price 

 throughout the season, making it diffi-
