D.— Our past season's ti-atie has been a most remarkable one, resulting in .an increase of 40 per cent over the previous year. We were two weeks late sending out our catalogue which placed January re- ceipts slightly below the corresponding month the previous year, but the balance of the season brought such an immense amount of business th,at it was taken care of with great ditflculty. We expected a rapid decrease in number of orders fol- lowing the rush of February and March, but instead both April and May brought an equal number of orders. Some sup- plies did not sell as well as usual, such as hose, weeders and particularly in- secticides. The currant worm, which usually makes its appearance by the middle of May, did not show up until early in June and then in only small numbers. Geraniums sold extraordi- narily well and brought higher prices than in other seasons, which was due to the scarcity of the stock, caused by the early frost last fall. Tlie mail trade was ahead of last , with the same amount of effort in the way of catalogues and advertising. Johnson Seed Co., Philadelphia, Pa.— The retail seed
