leiiostcr upwards of 2,000 pounds of 

 • 'ir seed alone are annually produced, 

 ' ibracing not only the standard varie- 

 ' 's but many of the choice and fancy 

 ■rains of recent introduction, some of 

 ■' l.ich originated on the farms of Roch- 

 ' !or growers. The aster seed produced 

 ' this locality finds a market with the 

 ' ■I'gest and most reliable seed houses 

 '■ the United States, and also reaches 

 /■e European market. The aster, hav- 

 ''g reached such a state of perfection 

 '"d popularity, has been adopted as the 

 ^•nblematic flower of Rochester. 



"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 filling 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. 



"Rochester, 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 con- 

 sumption is enormous, and the produc- 

 tion of sweet corn in Monroe county
