 considerable inteivst taken in the contest, both men apparently being 

 evenly matched. The birds were flyers without a doubt, and the

PUBLISHER'S DEPARTMENT. 



One of our well-known New York seed firms have now on deposit 

 in the Mercantile Safe Deposit Company's vaults four hundred pounds 

 of Henderson's snowball cauliflower seed, which at the selling price 

 of one hundred dollars per pound, shows the value of this seed to be 

 forty thousand dollars. Not only is this plan of depositing in vaults 

 fouiid to be cheaper than insurance, but what is of more importance 

 is that if the seed should be destroyed by fire this quantity necessary 

 for ilnur trade could not be replaced at any price in time for the 

 spring sales. When it is considered that four hundred pounds of 

 cauliflO' er seed will, under favorable conditions, produce nearly 

 thirteen million plants, which when headed tor market and sold at 

 even eight cents per head will produce the sum of three quarter of 

 a milhond)llarb,the value this vegetable has attained in this country, 

 where twenty-five years ago it was almost unknow, becomes readily 

 apparent.
