The season is reported backward in 

 Japan ; growth is several days later than 

 normal. 



Arthur T. Boddington, New York, 

 attended the meeting of Texas florists 

 at Waco this week. 



Proposals will be received at Wash- 

 ington until May 15, by the General Sup- 

 ply Committee, for seeds for the inde- 

 pendent government establishments for 

 the year beginning July 1 next. 



A. n. C. Dalley, of Hubbard Woods, 

 aspires to be the Illinois Groff. He has 

 planted about 25,000 gladiolus bulbs, in- 

 cluding many expensive European novel- 

 ties, and purposes growing bulbs for the 

 trade as well as raising novelties for 

 dissemination by the highest bidder. 



Wholesale seedsmen report an un- 

 usually good volume of fill-in orders for 

 the opening of May. The general stores 

 that handle seeds in the spring appear 

 to have cleaned up their stocks in good 

 shape and are ordering small lots fre- 

 quently, to keep their lines complete, as 

 there still is a good demand. 



Counter trade in Philadelphia and 

 New York seed stores has taken the 

 down grade after a most successful sea- 

 son. In Boston the sales forces still 

 have their hands full, in consequence of 

 a backward season, while garden making 

 in the lake cities has little more than be- 

 gun. Crops are coming to market from 

 the southwest before those in the north 

 have gone into the ground. 



April was an unusually good month 

 for most of the catalogue houses. The 

 season gathered headway slowly, but has 

 lost it less rapidly than usual since the 

 peak was passed. Fears of a short sea- 

 son have proved groundless. It really is 

 remarkable how well catalogues, some of 

 them distributed as early as December, 

 still are pulling. With one or two pro- 

 nounced shortages, the general supply has 

 proved adequate for what certainly will 

 prove one of the most satisfactory sea- 

 sons in the history of the seed trade. 



THE POSTAGE ON SEEDS. 



President Wilson attached his signa- 

 ture, April 24, to the act of Congress 

 reducing the postage on seeds and 

 plants when mailed in parcels weigh- 

 ing eight ounces or less. The postmas- 

 ter-general signed an order April 27 put- 

 ting the new rate into operation, and 

 the order was published in the Depart- 

 ment 's Daily Bulletin for April 29. The 

 rate went into effect, theoretically, when 

 the President signed the bill, but practi- 

 cally not until the Daily Bulletin of
