A PROGRESSIVE SEED STORE IN 

 UTICA, N. Y. 



The Batfhelor Seed Store in Utica 

 has been favorably known for a long 

 lime. Of late yeai"s it lias been owned 

 and operated by H. C. Lansrdon, but 

 recently has been bought and reorgan- 

 ized by Syracuse capitalists, at the 

 head of whom is C. F. Saul, long and 

 t'avoi-ably known in the seed trade of 

 Syracuse, N. Y. A new company has 

 been formed with C. F. Saul as presi- 

 dent; Douglas M. Ross, as secretary 

 and treasurer. The concern will be 

 operated under the old title, "The 

 Batchelor Seed Store," and will be un- 

 der the general management of Mr. 

 Ross, who grew up in the Syracuse es- 

 tablishment of Mr. Saul. We wish the 

 new concern abundant success.
