The onion set market is quiet, as it 

 usually is at this season, but prices are 

 steady. 



Burpee's general catalogue, the thirty- 

 sixth Farm Annual, reached The Eeview 

 December 18. 



The first of the 1912 general seed 

 catalogues to arrive from the Pacific 

 coast houses was that of C. C. Morse & 

 Co., which was in the mail of December 

 13. 



Incorporated: — The Peninsular Seed 

 Co., Port Huron, Mich., capital $40,000; 

 the Scott County Good Seed Association, 

 St. Paul, Minn., the latter planning to 

 hold an annual fair at Gordon, Minn., 

 and having Henry Arens, J. G. Nachbar, 

 .r. E. Casey and John Krautkremer as 

 incorporators. 



The L. L. Olds Seed Co., Madison, 

 Wis., issues what is called an advance 

 edition of its catalogue, made up prin- 

 cipally for the southern trade. It con- 

 tains the vegetable and flower seed pages 

 .iust as they appear in the regular cata- 

 logue, without the field seed and potato 

 l)ages. The advance edition reached 

 The Keview December 19. The regular 

 edition will be out about January 15.
