Peas # Beans Alfred J. Brown Seed Co^ Growers for the Wholesale Trade. GRAND RAPIDS, The Business Situation. Toronto, Ont.—The general outlook with the seed business, from a trade basis, is for a good average demand. Owing to the wet, backward planting season the past spring, considerable stock was carried over by the re- tailer in the heavier staples, but a large volume of repeat orders is an- ticipated. The demand for market garden supplies is good; it is a ques- tion of quality rather than cheap seed with the successful planter. With the heavy covering of snow every- where, the catalogue trade is some- what slow. European, as well as American grown supplies, are unusu- ally short and it is seldom that a like general shortage has been known. While limited quantities of surplus stocks are being offered, prices are not so vital as the question of quality and vitality. A season like the present is the opportunity for the holders of old stock to unload. The planter requires to exercise caution. Cleveland, O.—A. C. Kendel writes: "Our spring trade is not opening. We have had winter a continuous per- formance since December and last night another foot of snow fell on top of 40 inches of snow during the month of January
