Wm. Currie, seedsman, is vice-presi- 

 dent of a new Milwaukee curling club. 



The new seed warehouse of F, H. 

 Woodruff & Sons, Milford, Conn., is com- 

 plete and occupied. 



The forthcoming catalogues will price 

 peas according to the crop, all right — by 

 not quoting on quantities greater than 

 pecks. 



The liolly shipments are coming for- 

 ward rapidly and the quality of much 

 of the stock is excellent. The market 

 is weak.

"Facts About Cantaloupes" is the 

 title of an interesting illustrated booklet 

 issued by the Eocky Ford Cantaloupe 

 Seed Breeders' Association. 



Postmasters are inquiring^ of seeds- 

 men to what extent they expect to use the 

 parcel poa^ on this season's shipments. 

 The trader is hardly able to give an an- 

 swer, siBve so little is known as to how 

 the new system will compare with old 

 methods. 



The Congress which convened Decem- 

 ber 2 for the short session is expected 

 to begin the tariff tinkering. The Demo- 

 crats promise a general revision down- 

 ward, but the seed trade is more inter- 

 ested in preserving the principle of spe- 

 cific duties than in any change in rates. 



Holders of bouquet green, specially 

 the shippers from the woods, who ac- 

 quired their stock at the high prices that 

 prevailed early in the season, are slow to 

 appreciate that the market has* gone out 

 from under them and from all accounts 

 there is a lot of green being hel^ back 

 in anticipation of a recovery in price, 

 although the season is rapidly drawing to 

 a close. 



VETCH FOR SEED IN OREGON. 



Common vetch, Vicia sativa, is 

 strictly an annual, having much the 

 same habit as the garden or English 

 pea, but the stems are more slender and 

 usually taller, growing three to five feet 

 or more in length. Common vetch seed 

 is produced in large quantities in the 

 United States only in the Willamette 

 valley, in Oregon. The methods of
