WATCH US QRow 172 NoHh Wabash Avenue, iHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiu^ Mention Tb» R*t|*w wb«>a yoti writ* CHICAGO, ILL. iiuiuiiiiiiiiiniiiiumuuiiyiiiiiiiiii A shipment of flower seeds valued at $50 was sent by parcel post to Santa Bosa, Cal., from Deer Park, Ala., Sep- tember 7. It seems like "carrying coals to Newcastle" to be shipping flower seeds to California. This seed was Stokesia cyanea and this was about fifteen per cent of the growers' crop of this beautiful hardy perennial. By the way, southern Alabama is the home of the stokesia and the many new shades of this flower all originated here. A few years ago only the blue was known to the trade. Then the white variety was brought out. There now are being introduced pink, pur- ple and yellow shades and some light blue shades are promised as soon as stock of them can be worked up. Another seed crop grown here is vinca, or periwinkle, the crop of it last season being about 170 pounds. Here- tofore this seed has been almost wholly imported from EHirope. The hurricane of July 5 and the floods which lasted for nearly a month afterward did much damage to this and other seed crops in this section and the crop will be much less this season on that account.
