and W, W, Kawson & Co, and the con- 

 solidation was the most important event 

 which has occurred in the seed trade 

 in Boston in the decade. 



The move is looked upon with ap- 

 proval, as giving to Boston a house in 

 every way equipped to take a place as 

 a leader in the seed trade of America, 

 The officers are: President, John Fot- 

 tler; vice-president, H, E. Fiske; treas- 

 urer, W. C. Briggs; secretary, H. W. 

 Kawson. Vice-president Fiske is man- 

 ager. The understanding is that the 

 business eventually is to be concen- 

 trated in the store at 12 and 13 Faneuil 

 Hall Square, formerly the home of the 

 Fiske Seed Co., and before that of W. 

 W. Rawson & Co.

GERMAN GBASS SEEDS, 



Writing from Darmstadt, Germany, 

 under date of September 10, A. Le Coq 

 & Co. say that the crops of grass seeds 

 are, on the whole, by no means satis- 

 factory, "The early part of spring 

 was unfavorable to the i)lants; night 

 frosts in May and the large quantity 

 of rain during summer checked the de- 

 velopment of the seeds and have been 

 most deleterious during harvest time," 

 There will be much discolored and light 

 seed. In general, higher prices will 

 rule, especially if the best grades of 

 seeds are required.

burg September 15, Gustav Schott said: 

 ' ' The season so far has been one of 

 great diversity. In its opening stages 

 the weather was characterized by vio- 

 lent extremes and variabilit}\ May was 

 untoward, there being a long spell of 

 cold winds and much rain; also June 

 was an exceptionally wet month. The 

 weather improved during the first fort- 

 night of July, but heavy rains again 

 set in afterwards, and from which grass 

 seed crops suffered more or less. Tak-
