Wholesalers all report that it looks 

 like a good clean-up on everything. 



Globe onion seed has never been in 

 better demand, according to the market 

 gardeners' seedsmen. 



The Keliable Seed Co., Tampa, Fla., 

 has been incorporated to do a general 

 seed and brokerage business. 



News of the death of Wm. Hagemann, 

 the well-known New York importer of 

 bulbs, appears in the obituary column 

 this week. 



Reports indicate that the counter trade 

 seedsman and the retailer of shrubs will 

 now get their chance to put by enough 

 for their next winter's coal. 



Onion sets appear to be so well cleaned 

 up that some of the noted operators in 

 the sale of this commodity are now of- 

 fering bushel lots instead of car lots. 



No one, as far as reports go, has any 

 more peas than he needs. It is to be 

 hoped for the integrity of the seedsman 

 that the month of May will not show up 

 surplus lists offering a few lots carried 

 over. 



Unseasonable dampness still prevails 

 in California, and it looks as though the 

 trade in general will need California's 

 seed prpducts more than ever after har- 

 vest of 1909. These two facts are rather 

 worrisome. 



It is a well understood fact in the seed 

 line that every unseasonable day during 

 the spring season is just the loss of a 

 day's receipts to the counter trade seeds- 

 men. It is to be hoped, therefore, that 

 seasonable weather will prevail from now 

 ori. 



The few seasonable days that have 

 brightened the week at Chicago make the 

 onion se*- growers feel like putting in 

 enough seed to meet the demands of St. 

 Louis as well as the other sections which 

 look this way for their supplies in this 

 line. 



Owing to lack of snow during the win- 

 ter, and to the extreme dryness of last 

 fall, the lawns in the Chicago vicinity 

 show more bareness than for some springs 

 back. The demand for lawn grass is con- 

 sequently larger than usual and a good 

 lawn fertilizer to go with it is also called 

 for.

It is reported from London that the 

 market for kentia seeds is at present 

 very unsettled, and a rise in prices is 

 expected. 



Present values of wax podded beans, 

 of which there was supposed to be such a 

 surplus, look mighty high to the man 

 who did not purchase when he could have 

 done so a few months back. 



The weather warmed up all over the 

 country early this week and put every- 

 body on the jump. The mail trade is 

 now on the decline, though still heavy, 

 but counter trade is only fairly begun. 

 April has made a big start and, if it does 

 not come spring too abruptly, an excep- 

 tionally good month is expected. 



In the island of Guernsey a large num- 

 ber of Calla Elliottiana are now being 

 cut and sent to the London market. A 

 correspondent writes: "This will become 

 an important line ere long. One firm has 

 for four or five years been saving up 

 every bit of seed, not marketing one of 

 the golden blooms, to increase the stock. 

 The blooms have been fetching as much 

 as 36 cents each this year." 



TARIFF MATTERS. 



It was reported by the Washington 

 correspondents of the daily papers that 

 one of the changes to be made in the 

 Payne bill before it passes the House 

 April 9 is to be an amendment reducing
