a pound and amounts to about 8 cents 

 on each catalogue, which is too much for 

 us to pay. There are many American 

 farmers in Canada who want to use 

 American seeds and these are denied 

 them because of the stringent postal and 

 revenue laws governing the admission 

 of catalogues into Canada." 



Mr. Page declares if the reciprocity 

 treaty pisses that the seedsmen of the 

 counti'y will use their influence to have 

 the law governing the admission of seed 

 catalogues changed. Under the reci- 

 procity agreement, seeds will be free, 

 when both countries act favorably on 

 the treaty. 



Mr. Page consummated what he 

 thinks is the biggest deal in one variety 

 of seed ever made west of the Mis- 

 sissippi when he purchased five carloads 

 of red clover seed. The seed was all 

 purchased from one man in eastern 

 Iowa. The first carload arrived in Des 

 Moines March 9, and in payment for 

 it Mr. Page drew a check for $6,600. 

 The seed was raised in eastern Iowa 

 by a number of farmers, and following 

 the harvest last fall, one of them 

 bought the entire crop of all the others, 

 holding it for an increase in price. He 

 refused to sell it in small quantities. 

 The amount of the transaction will be 

 more than $20,000. 



THE OEBMAN SEED TBADE. 



; In the Quedlinburg district of Ger- 

 many the winter has been unusually 

 mild, the growing seed crops, flowers as 

 well as vegetables, looking well and be- 

 ing farther advanced than usual at this 

 season. The seed trade of the district ex- 

 tends itself over practically the entire 

 world and has had a satisfactory busi- 

 ness in the season now closing. Unusu- 

 ally high prices are ruling for peas, car- 

 rots and onions. Parsley, parsnip, spin- 

 ach and rhubarb did not nearly equal the 

 demand. The brassicas, celery, lettuce 

 and radishes with few exceptions will suf- 

 fice for the demand. Turnips will suf- 

 fice for the call. Flower seeds have met 

 with a larger call than usual and many of 

 the chief varieties have sold out. 



In the Erfurt district trade has been 

 brisk and would have been larger if some 

 of the important articles had not been 

 in short supply. The crop of garden peas 

 in 1910 was the worst on record here and 

 was quickly sold. The call for garden 

 beet from America was not as large as 

 usual, but stocks were well cleared out, 

 Egyptian Turnip-rooted being early ex- 

 hausted. Parsley, parsnips, carrots and 

 celery were early exhausted, but of radish 

 and spinach there were enough. Both 

 garden and field turnips sold well. The 

 export trade on flower seeds was satis- 

 factory. Asters sold well and such sorts 

 as HohenzoUern have run short. Stocks 

 were a light crop and would have war-
