to these regulations covering articles 

 of the fourth class not absolutely ex- 

 cluded from the mails. Paragraph 5 

 deals with seeds and is as follows: 



"5. Seeds or other articles not pro- 

 hibited, which are liable, from their 

 form or nature, to loss or damage, unless 

 specially protected, must be put up in 

 sealed envelopes made out of material 

 sufficiently transparent to show the con- 

 tents clearly without opening." 



SEEDS IN THE WEST. 



The Nebraska Seed Co., Omaha, is 

 this year old enough to vote; it was 

 organized in 1891 by the same men who 

 still are at the helm. The start was 

 with a floor space 44x60, but now a 

 building is occupied with six floors 

 06x132. It has a capacity of 180 cars 

 storage. The seed cleaning plant has 

 a capacity of 100,000 pounds of rough 

 seed a daj-. The staff consists of forty- 

 one inside men and eight travelers. One 

 of the important departments of the 

 business is the growing of alfalfa for 

 seeds; also the company loaded the 

 thirty-fourth car of timothy to be sent 

 out this season. In Douglas county, 

 Nebraska, the company also grows from 

 40,000 to 50,000 bushels of onion sets. 



LOS ANGELES SEED NOTES. 



The retail seed men are extremely 

 busy, and probably never in the history 

 of the trade has there been a better 

 season. Even during the dry spell early 

 in the year, about a normal business 

 was done, but since the rains the rush 

 has been surprising even to the most 

 optimistic. Climatic conditions have 

 been so favorable the last few weeks 

 that practically all crops will be normal, 

 at least with the important exception 

 of sweet peas, which were not suffi- 

 ciently forward to get the full benefit 

 of the rain and which have also been 

 retarded by cold at night. Blight has 

 already attacked some plantings, and 

 experienced growers, while not taking a 

 (lark view of the case, fear that this will 

 l»e more apparent later in the season. 

 The stands of beet, lettuce, roots gener- 

 ally, and staple vegetable and flower 

 seeds are reported as excellent, and as 

 the ground has plenty of moisture below 

 and a fine tilth on the surface, all hope 

 for the best. 



The Aggeler & Musser Seed Co. has 

 had a most unpleasant experience with 

 two of its hitherto trusted employees. 

 The firm sent these men out on salary 

 and provided them with conveyances to 

 call on customers for orders. Only a 

 small percentage of the orders taken 

 were turned in to the house; others, 

 and these the more profitable, were 

 diverted to another house on a com- 

 mission basis. The Aggeler & Musser 

 <'o. reports a heavy trade in all lines 

 and says the reports from their growers 

 are quite encouraging. 



Charles Winsel says his retail busi- 

 ness this season has been much greater 

 than that of any of the ten years he has 

 been on Main street.
