Notes. 

 The strawberry acreage In Florida 

 is greatly reduced but plants are re- 

 ported in good condition. 



A previous communication in these 

 columns contained the erroneous 

 statement that Adolph Kruhm, now 

 secretary of Beckert's Seed Store in 

 Pittsburgh was previously with Je- 

 rome B. Rice Seed Co. Mr. Kruhm 

 was formerly with W. Atlee Burpee 

 & Co., then the Livingston Seed Co., 

 and more recently manager of the 

 horticultural departments of Country 

 Life and The Garden Magazine. The 

 former note came through sources 

 presumed to be reliable but we are 

 glad to be corrected.
