THE ASSOCIATION SEED SERVICE 



Mr. Work: We have Early Refugee beans grown by one 

 of our officers, $4.20 a bushel, f. o. b. his station, Central New 

 York. 



Tomatoes. 



We have one of the best known and one of the most excel- 

 lent strains of Earliana tomato at 35 cents an ounce, $5.25 a 

 pound. There is a second grade of that which is from crown 

 and selected fruit. The price per pound is $16.80, the price 

 per ounce, $1.35. That is a very special selection. This man 

 keeps his stock seed separate and plants special breeding 

 plots every year. This is practically stock seed. The other 

 at 35 cents an ounce has given very good satisfaction. He 

 makes three selections. For the highest notch of selection 

 he gets $5.00 an ounce, then there is the second grade, and 

 the third, which is better than most strains of Earliana, which 

 sells through the Association at $5.25 a pound, and ordinarily 

 for $6.00. 



Peas. 



About the peas. Here is the list. To these prices should 

 be added 20 cents each for the bags, 10 cents duty and freight 

 to your station : 



Alaska $3.50 per bushel 



Extra Early 3.50

 man. 



Mr. Work : Are there some that are interested ?
