secure such quality of seeds as we 

 iesire to sell, we have been able to 

 ieep our drawers well filled, supplying 

 Tiost of our customers with their entire 

 stock. 

 Holmes Seed Co., Harrisburg, Pa. 



The general seed trade has been bet- 

 ter this year than we have ever expe- 

 rienced heretofore. The mail order busi- 

 ness, in particular, has been ahead of all 

 previoi^- records. Owing to a cold 

 spring, 'the store business has not 

 increased as much as some of the 



other departments; yet the whole- 

 sale <Jepartment is about twenty per 

 cent in advance of any previous year. 

 Just at present we are busy with 

 bedding stock and are handling quite 

 a lot of it; in fact, more than hereto- 

 fore. Also the demand for cabbage, 

 tomato plants, etc., has been more ex- 

 tensive this year than heretofore. 



Wood, Stubbs & Co., Louisville, Ky. 



We have enjoyed a good deal better 

 trade in the garden seed department this 

 year than usual, the sales being consid- 



erably advanced over the corresponding 

 months of last year. The small maiT^^ 

 order bbsiness seems to be holding up 

 exceptionally well this season.
