Charles J. Bolgiano, the proprietor 

 of the seed establishment of J. Bol- 

 giano & Son, has been critically ill at 

 the Union Protestant Infirmary, Balti- 

 more, Md., since Nov. 8th, at which 

 time he was operated on for appendi- 

 citis by Prof. R. H. Follis of the Johns 

 Hopkins University, assisted by Dr. 

 Austin F. Robinson. While Mr. Bolgi-

 improvement and his speedy recovery 

 is now looked for.

 Canadian Seed Growers' Association,

 1914, has been issued. It comprises 

 122 pages, Part 1 being the minutes 

 of the annual meeting at Ottawa, 

 March 5, 1914, and Part 2 the ad-

 the attention and study being given 

 to the improvement of agricultural 

 seeds and the development of high 

 grade strains in Canada.
