This is the time of the year when the crop of dummy inquiries ripens. D. V. BuRRELL will grow about 1,000 acres of vine seeds the coming season. The Wholesale Seedsmen's League has left the question of carrot prices open. Good judges of the market think wax beans and sweet corn can hardly be quoted too high. John LewisChilds, Floral Park, N.Y., had a serious fire at the Mayflower build- ing within the past week. The next annual meeting of the Ameri- can Seed Trade Association will open at Philadelphia, June 23, 1903. Sturgeon Bay, Wis.—The Everett B. Clark Company is placing contracts for 5,000 bushels of peas in this vicinity. Samuel Cole has moved four miles east of Ventura, Cal., and has forty acres devoted to callas, freesia's, gladioli and seed beans. The cauners' annual convention, in which manv seed houses are interested, will be held at Washington, D. C, Feb- ruary 9-14, 1903. Retail catalogue prices on beans will be high, wax varieties from $8 to $9 per bushel; best green podded sorts from $6 to $7 per bushel; and limas from $6.50 to $S per bushel. The catalogue of D. M. Ferry & Com- pany, of Detroit, seems to be the early bird this week. It is, like all the cata- logues of that firm, a beautiful affair with colored cover and no less than seven colored plates. W. W. Barnard & Co., Chicago, had their catalogue all ready for the press in the hands of the .A.dventist Publishing Company, Battle Creek, Mich., when that plant was destroyed by fire Decem- ber 30, and lost everything, plates, cuts and "copy." John Bodger & Sons, who have a seed farm at Santa Paula, Ventura county, Cal., making a specialty of tomato seeds, have bought forty acres at Oceana, San Luis, Obiopo county, but will not move there for some time. Terre Haute, Ind.—On and after January 1, 1903, the business of Hoer- mann & Cleary will be continued in the name of Frank Hoermann, the former firm having been dissolved by the pur- chase of Mr. deary's interest by Mr. Hoermann. Visited Chicago: Alexander Rodgers, representing J. Charles McCullough, Cincinnati, Ohio; John W. Kiley, repre- senting the Braslan Seed Growers Com- pany, of San Jose, Cal.; W. H. Small, Evansville, Ind.; George Hay ward, rep- resenting Tomlinson & Hayward, Lin- coln, England. West Newbury, Mass.—T. C. Thur- low, the paonia specialist, who has been in poor health for a year, will spend the winter in the south. Hingham, Mass.—Heavy loss was caused by the burning of a large con- servatory on the premises of Miss A. S. Bradley on Christmas morning. The fire is supposed to have originated in an explosion caused by gas from soft coal in the heater. Van Wert, O.—Charles Wesley McCon- ahy died suddenly of heart disease November 21. He had been in the florist business a little more than two years and was very successful. He was 35 years of age and left a wife, parents, brother and sisters and a host of friends to mourn their loss. He was a member of the M. E. Church, of the Knights ol Pythias and of the Royal Arcanum. OVER 2.000 ACRES IN CULTIVATION. Braslan Seed Growers Go. Growers for the Wholesale Trade Only. Correspondence solicited. SAN JOSE, CAL.
