and potatoes. The weather is favorable 

 for crops in general in this section, 

 although a little too dry for oats. The 

 farmers are generally jubilant over the 

 prospects. — L. H. Archias. 



Ford Seed Co., Bavenna, O. 



The volume of garden and flower seed 

 business has been about the same as 

 last year. The fact that we have been 

 obliged to use parcel post stamps on 

 packages going by mail has caused an 

 accumulation of the ordinary stamps, 

 which we are having difficulty to dis- 

 pose of. This is one of the drawbacks 

 of the parcel post system, which in no 

 way benefits the seedsmen. The sea- 

 son is somewhat late and crops are 

 going into the ground rather later than 

 they should on this account, but with 

 good weather in the future will look 

 for a fair yield of most varieties grown 

 here.— J. H. Ford. 



W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia. 



We have had considerable increase in 

 the number of orders this season over 

 1912 and doubtless the actual quantity 

 of seeds distributed has exceeded even 

 that banner year. The orders have 

 averaged, however, less in amount for 

 two reasons: First, the lower prices on 

 many items; second, the decreased de- 

 mand for certain important market 

 garden seeds, such as cabbage and 

 onion, owing to the low, almost ruinous 

 prices at which these crops had to be 

 sold last fall and winter. — W. Atlee 

 Burpee. 



Wood, Stubbs & Co., Louisville. 



From general observation we can say 

 the number of orders is greatly in ex- 

 cess of last year, but the. volume of 

 business has not been anything like as 

 heavy. There seemed to be a lack of 

 life about the trade this year. Our 

 customers bought only small quantities 

 and ordered on several different occa- 

 sions, as they needed the goods. 



Stokes' Seed Store, Philadelphia. 



Regarding the volume of business 

 this season as compared with previous 

 years, during the months of January, 

 February and March it was exceedingly 

 satisfactory and considerably ahead of 

 previous years. This perhaps was 

 somewhat owing to the weather condi- 

 tions, as during the month of April 

 business fell off considerably, and the 

 unsatisfactory condition of the seed 

 potato situation still further lessened 

 «ales in April and early in May. The 

 volume of business as a whole is con- 

 siderably ahead of last year. The 

 trade in vegetable plants has been phe- 

 nomenal and it has been impossible to 

 supply the demand, owing to so many 

 being caught by the freeze. — Walter P. 

 Stokes. 



Stumpp & Walter Co., New York. 



We are pleased to state that the sea- 

 son has been an exceptionally good 

 one. The outlook for the future has 

 never been better, and we think this is 

 the general feeling throughout the 

 trade. 



Barteldes Seed Co., Denver. 



The season with us has been some- 

 what backward. Usually February, 

 March and April are our heaviest 

 months, but this season March, April 

 and May have proved to be our heavy 

 months, with indications that there 

 will be planting of garden seeds until 

 the middle of June. The garden seed
