A Correction. An error occured in 
the advertisement of Parrey’s brooder in 
the last issue of Seed-Time and Harvest 
by which the price was given at $18. It 
should have been $8 at which it is sold. 
See the advertisement on page 81.

The Cabbage Market. We are glad 
to see cabbages in more active demand 
this fall th^n last, and prices much better. 
On a recent visit to Scranton, Pa., we 
found dealers were paying from $6.00 to 
$9.00 per 100 for very ordinary lots. Ad¬ 
vices from our patrons in various sections 
indicate a greatly improved demand, and 
we have seen the opinion advanced in some 
papers that importations will probably be 
made again from Germany. On the other 
hand, many of our patrons are reporting 
immetise yields from our P. S. seeds in 
various localities. 
The following named parties have re¬ 
ported themselves able to supply in carload 
lots: 
A. C. Smith, New Chambersburg, Ohio. 
A. S. Tresher, St. Paul, Nebraska. 
T. L. White, Girard, Michigan. 
T. Grover, Clyde, Ohio.

Snowball Cauliflower. Previous to 
the Fall of 1884, our seed-stock of Snow¬ 
ball Cauliflower was imported from Ger¬ 
many, as most of that sold by seedsman 
generally is. As many of our customers 
know, it did not give perfect satisfaction. 
The production of cauliflower being a very 
costly undertaking, good seed is an essen¬ 
tial requisite, and is cheaper at $10 per 
ounce than poor as a gift. Being deter¬ 
mined to have our seed above suspicion, 
we obtained some of the best to be pro¬ 
cured at any price, and sent it to our Puget 
Sound grower for seeding. Last spring, 
for the first, we supplied our customers 
with this P. S. seed, and are pleased to 
annouce that it has given the most com¬ 
plete satisfaction. Many large cauliflower 
growers are writing to know if we can sup¬ 
ply at any price seeds that we know are tho 
same as that sent them last spring. A few 
days since, we received by express, a box 
of cauliflower from F. E. Rudman, 182 
North Clinton St., Rochester, N. Y., which 
would certainly “take the cake” over any 
we ever saw before. The heads were as 
white and as solid as actual balls of snow, 
and closely trimmed average five pounds 
each in weight. Regarding them, Mr. 
Rudman writes: “The Cauliflower I send
