Walter P. Stokes, Philadelphia, has 

 retired to Mount Pocono for his annual 

 literary effprt, the general catalogue. 



Habeison & Sons, seed growers at 

 Leicester, England, are distributing this 

 season a new pea called Lord Leicester, 

 a cross between Gradus and Stratagem. 



Directors of the "Wholesale Seeds- 

 men's League held a meeting at New 

 York October 20 to discuss seed crops 

 and other features affecting the season's 

 business outlook. 



Pretty nearly all the big houses are 

 well along on the general catalogues. No 

 one wants to be late this year, and seeds- 

 men are taking time by the forelock who 

 never did it before. 



Speaking of the seed season, D. H. 

 Gilbert, Monticello, Fla., said: "Melon 

 seed crops turned out very satisfactory, 

 indeed, this year. The crops were har- 

 vested earlier than usual, and deliveries 

 were made promptly, practically com- 

 plete deliveries on all sorts." 



The report from Holland is that the 

 tulip bulbs are pretty well cleaned up, 

 but that demand of late has not been 

 brisk, reorders not having been numer- 

 ous. Planting for next season 's crop be- 

 gan later than usual, but the stock has 

 gone into the ground under fair condi- 

 tions. 



Bulb business generally has been more 

 than satisfactory, though in sections that 

 had warm weather well into October the 

 demand was late in starting. It looks 

 as though there will be no surplus, houses 

 that are well sold up and trying to buy 

 in quantity on this side finding little 

 stock to be had. 



C. D. McKay, until lately a partner 

 in the business of Watkins & Simpson, 

 London, has now transferred his ener- 

 gies, and become a shareholder in the 

 firm of Cooper, Taber & Co. Mr. McKay 

 was connected with Watkins & Simpson 

 for twenty-three years, the latter ten 

 years as partner, and took a prominent 

 part in the management, and is also well- 

 known for his work and writings in con- 

 nection with the so-called French gar- 

 dening.

 nounced the following reappraisements

THE FREE SEEDS. 



Even if clothes will be higher this win- 

 ter and other prices were boosted by the 

 patriotic action of Congress in passing 

 the tariff bill, the lawmakers did not 

 entirely forget the needs of the people. 

 Overcoats may be beyond the general 

 reach, but garden seeds will be free. 

 Congress not only voted the usual gift to 

 each of its members for distribution 

 among his constituents, but increased it. 

 Eleven million packages are to be sent to 

 brighten the homes where it was neces- 

 sary to cut down the supply of sugar. 

 Each package contains five varieties of 

 flower and vegetable seed, and is accom-
