Rochester upwards of 2,000 pounds of 

 aster seed alone are annually produced, 

 embracing not only the standard varie- 

 ties but many of the choice and fancy 

 strains of recent introduction, some of 

 ^hich originated on the farms of Roch- 

 ester growers. The aster seed produced 

 in this locality £nds a market with the 

 largest and most reliable seed houses 

 in the United States, and also reaches 

 the European market. The aster, hav- 

 ing reached tNich a state of perfection 

 and popularity, has been adopted as the 

 emblematic flower of Eochester. 

 "The distribution of seeds from this 



city annually is very large. The whole- 

 sale seed trade, the commission seed 

 business and the catalogue or mail trade 

 run into carloads daily during the win* 

 ter and spring months, while the retail 

 or counter trade in the various seed 

 houses and stores furnishes employment 

 for fully 1,000 people. Modern inven- 

 tions, by means of complicated ma- 

 chinery for making and filUng the seed 

 packets, are operated in different seed 

 houses in this city. These machines 

 very materially reduce the number of 

 hands that would be employed, were 

 we compelled to conduct business as 



we did ten years ago. In fact, it would 

 require twice as many people as does 

 the present manner of putting up and 

 handling by machinery the vast quan- 

 tities of seeds sent out from this city. 



"Eochester, which is located in Mon- 

 roe county, is in the center of what is 

 undoubtedly the largest district in the 

 world in the production of dwarf beans, 

 while the acreage in the surrounding 

 counties of dwarf or bush beans of the 

 garden varieties runs into thousands of 

 acres. The production of beans for eon- 

 sumption is enormous, and the produc- 

 tion of sweet com in Monroe county
