The Storrs & Harrison Co., PAINESVILLE, OHIO 16, steamer Sado Matu, 277 cases for New York and 235 cases for Chicago, total of 512 cases, has been entirely omitted and on the same steamer there was doubtless a large number of cases for San Francisco of which we see no mention made in the list. Yokohama Nursery Co. MB. CUTHBEBTSON TALKS. Frank Cuthbertson, son of a well- known Edinburgh seedsman, after a term in California, has gone home for a visit, combining business and pleas- ure. A trade paper has had a talk with him and a part of what it says will be interesting reading for the trade here: "A trifle over three years ago Mr. Cuthbertson left for New York with a view to discovering whether there was an opening for such as he in the land of the free. Sweet pea growing was his forte, and therefore on his arrival in the States, he offered his services to a Californian firm. He was put in charge of a small gang in the sweet pea fields, with the promise of three months' work. He is still with the firm, and is now what one may term managing foreman of thousands of acres. Apart from the business he has in hand, Mr. Cuthbertson is also acting as a delegate for the great exposition which opens next February at San Francisco. "The greatest specialty of C. C. Morse & Co. is onions; 600 acres come under Mr. Cuthbertson's eye. The system of growing is much the same as at home. Of lettuce, the firm grows 400 acres, the seed being sown from February to May. The resultant plants are thinned out in due course, and be- yond the necessity of cutting open the large headed tj'pes, the crop is usually pretty certain. This season, however, the total Californian lettuce crop, or rather those crops in the San Juan valley, were threatened with extinc- tion by a caterpillar or worm which gave a considerable amount of trouble before it was suppressed. Carrots do well on the Morse ranches, and an immense area is devoted to them.
