Maupin & Bekryman, of King City, 

 Mo., have nearly completed the interior 

 of their seed house. A new twenty-five 

 horse-power engine has been installed. 



The congressional free seeds distribu-

 He claims to be the longest of anyone 

 in the mail order seed trade by six years, 

 beginning his business in 1870.

 field of cabbage or beet, for example, has 

 to pass through a season of extremes 

 of weather, it is only the coarser and 

 sturdier plants that survive. The more 

 delicate plants die, and these latter be-
