PUBLISHERS 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 Hendersons snowball cauliflower seed, which at the selling priceof one hundred dollars per pound, shows the value of this seed to beforty thousand dollars. Not only is this plan of depositing in vaults fouiid to be cheaper than insurance, but what is of more importanceis 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 cauliflower 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 ofa milhond)llarb,the value this vegetable has attained in this country,where twenty-five years ago it was almost unknow, becomes readily apparent.
