potato orders or else asking an advance 

 over catalogue prices for more than six 

 weeks. We filled all pound orders for 

 French grown Golden Self-Blanching 

 celery up to April 1, the latter part of 

 March filling an order for as much as 

 fifty pounds, and are still filling quar- 

 ter-pound orders. While I hear that 

 many seedsmen are returning large 

 sums of money on orders they are un- 

 able to fill on account of sold-out 

 stocks, I believe we have returned less 

 money than at any time in the last ten 

 years; consequently I am well satisfied 

 with the trade we have had. The one 

 disappointing feature about this sea- 

 son's business was the fact that we 

 could not fail to notice that the boom 

 in sweet peas was on the wane. 



H. G. Hastings & Co., Atlanta, Ga. 



We are pleased to be able to report 

 an excellent season's business. In fact, 

 it surpassed our expectations. Condi- 

 tions in the south at the opening of our 

 season in January were not such as 

 would lead us to expect a large busi- 

 ness, but we have been agreeably disap- 

 pointed, and not only the volume of our 

 business but the quality of it was ex- 

 ceptionally good. Our garden seed trade 

 was unusually large, as was also our 

 trade on field seed, especially seed corn. 

 The only item that seemed to be in 

 short demand was that of cotton seed, 

 for, while we had a fair business in this 

 line, the demand was not up to previous 

 years. 



During the last month our farmers 

 have been a good deal hindered in put- 

 ting in late planted forage and hay 

 crops, such as are usually planted 

 throughout the south at this season of 

 the year, but even with this handicap 

 we note that our business has surpassed 

 previous records, and as weather con- 

 ditions improve we feel confident that 

 much of this delayed business will be 

 sent in. We consider that we have had 

 a most successful season, and have no 

 cause whatever for complaint. 



Henry F. Michell Co., Philadelphia. 



We are pleased to say that we con- 

 sider the season of 1912 one of the 

 most successful in the history of our 

 business. We can note a remarkable
