Fire in the home of Louis May, Bon of 

 L. L. May, St. Paul, did $4,000 damage 

 March 22. 



The 2-cent postage rate already has 

 drawn the horticultural trades in Eng- 

 land and the United States closer to- 

 gether. 



K. Le Koy Laughlin, of the Laughlin 

 Seed Co., who has been located at the 

 San Jose oflSce of the company, is now 

 removing to Kenton, O., where he will 

 have charge of the firm's storeroom and 

 eastern agency. 



Plans are afoot for another attempt 

 to show Chairman Payne and the Ways 

 and Means Committee that the seedsmen 

 make no unreasonable request for changes 

 in the tariff bill. Tuesday, April 13, will 

 probably be the day for the effort. 



Onion sets are now on the last lap. 

 The final spurt will find only enough to 

 meet requirements and the prices, which 

 have held stiff in the face of cold 

 weather and shortened sales, will prob- 

 ably rise as soon as the ground warms up 

 and the demand comes for general plant- 

 ing. 



The opposition to the pure seed bill 

 pending in the New York legislature, led 

 by Marshall H. Duryea, of Henry Nun- 

 gesser & Co., is thought to have proved 

 effectual. It is expected the substitute 

 proposed by a committee of the trade, 

 bringing the law into workable shape 

 along the lines of purity standards, will 

 be reported favorably by the Committee 

 on Agriculture. March 30 Mr. Duryea, 

 with Alex Forbes, of Peter Henderson & 

 Co., Messrs. Sherman and Bennett, of 

 Albany, and Nott and Gordinier, of Troy, 

 had a second conference with Assembly- 

 man Boshart's committee, at which the 

 bill was gone over thoroughly. The 

 seedsmen's substitute was prepared at 

 the suggestion of the legislative commit- 

 tee, upon whom a delegation of twenty 

 seedsmen from all parts of the state 

 waited March 23.

The mail order seed business of the 

 central west for the past week has not 

 been as good as expected, according to 

 reports. The weather is held accountable 

 for this. 



Market garden trade keeps up to the 

 standard. There seems to be no drop 

 from last year's purchases so far. It 

 was thought that onion seed for large 

 onions would be in light demand, but all 

 sorts are now reported in good demand 

 and well cleaned up. 



Cucumber seed is going to be a hard 

 proposition for the grower this coming 

 year, judging from the present outlook. 

 It seems to be hard to interest the farmer 

 in cucumber seed at a price that is at all 

 in. keeping with the ideas of the people 

 who finally buy it. The grower has the 

 two propositions to go up against: He 

 must get a good farmer to grow it at a 

 proper figure and he must satisfy the
