A NEW seed house, the H. B. Wilbur 

 Co., has recently opened up at James- 

 town, N. Y., with an up-to-date equipment 

 and good prospects. George Chambers is 

 the manager. 



The Maryland legislature has passed 

 the pure seed law introduced by State 

 Senator Collier. Eepresentative Dawkins ' 

 amendment to eliminate Ihe germination 

 clause was defeated. 



Incorporation papers have been is- 

 sued to the Berryman & Maupin Seed Co., 

 of King City, Mo., with a capital stock 

 of $30,000. The incorporators are W. H. 

 Berryman, A. P. Maupin and Minerva 

 Maupin. 



Charles J. Bolgiano announces his 

 election as a member of the Ancient and 

 Honorable Mechanical Company of Bal- 

 timore, organized September 23, 1763, 

 and said to be the oldest civic organiza- 

 tion in America. 



C. S. Tait, who owns a half interest in 

 and is manager of the largest farm in the 

 vicinity of Brunswick, Ga., now has 400 

 acres under cultivation, and is making a 

 specialty of amaryllis, cannas, dahlias and 

 gladioli. He plans to develop these lines 

 on a large scale now that the property is 

 in a good state of cultivation. There is 

 irrigation on 225 acres, with a rise and 

 fall of the water every twelve hours, 

 backed up in a river by the tide. 



A. Bernard Fils, of OUioules, report 

 that large sizes of Romans will be scarce 

 and dear this season. This is partly ow- 

 iiig to the fact that, in consequence of 

 strong demand, many bulbs were sold 

 which in former years would have been 

 replanted to make the finest bulbs. The 

 frost last January cut the tops, which 

 will probably be found to have affected 

 the bulbs to some extent, a remark also 

 applicable to f reesias and narcissi, though 

 the damage in these cases is more difficult 

 to estimate. 



ENFOBOINa THE BATES. 



The Interstate Commerce Commission 

 has directed a refund by the D. L. & W. 

 railroad of $174 to the W. T. Ealeigh 

 Co., on account of unreasonable charges 

 on shipments of garden seed from New 

 York to Freeport, 111. The commission 

 also has directed the Delaware, Lacka- 

 wanna & Western railroad to refund 

 $2.68 to the Page Seed Co., because of 

 unreasonable rates on seed corn shipped 

 from Greene, N. Y., to Susquehanna, Pa.

FIELD'S BIG YEAB. 



"You may be interested to know," 

 said Henry Field, of Shenandoah, la., 

 "that we are having an exceptionally 

 busy season. Up to April 1 we showed 

 forty-two per cent increase over last 

 year in number of orders and fifty-two 

 per cent increase over last year in vol- 

 ume of business; this in spite of the 

 fact that we had an unusually good 

 year last year and showed heavy gains 

 over the preceding season. The gain 

 this year, however, has been much 

 heavier than last year." In the year 

 that closed March 31 the Henrv Field
