cult to unload a portion of these stocks. 

 I was rather a losing game with us. 



However, we had about the same 

 ^■rge demand for our choice varieties 

 <! tomato seed as in former years, and 

 ^' is was especially true of the Living- 

 ^ on's Globe throughout the south. 



A. T. Boddington, New York, N. T. 



On an average, our business has gone 

 "Way ahead of last year. The months 

 ^{ January and February ran about 

 ten per cent ahead, and March and 

 •'^pril about twenty-five per cent. How- 

 I'ver, it seems to us that May will drop 

 back about twenty-five per cent, and we 

 think this will be the general report 

 9f the seed trade for the month of 

 May. This comes from the fact that, 

 owing to the unusual weather pre- 



vious to this month, tbe spring had 

 opened up very early. In New York 

 state, peaches were one month ahead of 

 their usual time of flowering. 



We have found unusual demand for 

 cannas this season, and for all bulbous 

 stock. Sweet pea seed has sold excep- 

 tionally well. We find a much greater 

 demand for the named varieties, 

 especially the Spencer type, and less 

 call for mixed seed. This matter of 

 mixture applies to almost all kinds 

 of stock handled by us this season. 

 People are beginning to learn that they 

 can secure better varieties by ordering 

 them to name. 



Vegetable seed stocks are cleaned up 

 wonderfully well and there has been 

 a considerable scarcity of all varieties 

 of peas and beans. The present out- 



look, from various reports, is somewhat 

 disquieting at this date also. We think 

 that stocks have been cleaned up quite 

 generally this year. There has also 

 been a great demand for all varieties of 

 roses, of which we handled about 60,000 

 this season.

There can be no doubt but what the 

 season of 1910 will go down in history 

 as a record breaker, for every element 

 that could possibly be produced to 

 favor a prolonged season was this year 

 in evidence. 



The increase that we experienced this 

 year in our business is so large that 

 we dare not give it in figures, lest we 

 might be accused of exaggerating. We 

 do not believe that all this success is
