At this time of the year the Holland 

 bulb salesmen are in Chicago as thick 

 as bees in the clover. This week an 

 unusual number are working the trade 

 here. 



The A. Henderson Co. is now very 

 busy shipping out cannas and gladio- 

 lus bulbs for forcing. The stock :s 

 fine. Mr. Henderson, whose automobile 

 was stolen, recovered it the following 

 day. 



Seedsmen report King Humbert 

 canna as the leader in public favor in 

 Chicago. Prices are stiffening on the 

 gladiolus trio that are as popular as 

 ever this season — America, Francis 

 King and Augusta. Seed stock is com- 

 ing along slowly but surely and deal- 

 ers are preparing for a good season 

 ahead. 



The Leonard Seed Co. is sending out 

 its annual seed catalogue now. This 

 firm is known as Market Gardeners' 

 Seedsmen and niak^s a specialty of 

 catering to that trade. Three large 

 stores are located in Chicago, the larg- 

 est at 810 West Randolph street, one 

 on the Northwest side at 4845 Milwau- 

 kee avenue and one on the extremo 

 South side, 10912 Michigan avenue. 



Miss Louisa Brown is perhaps the 

 most capable and practical seeds- 

 woman in the American seed trade to- 

 day. For thirty years she lias held 

 the responsible position of msnp.ger of 

 the Leonard Seed Co.'s ston?, in the 



center of the largest vegetable market 

 known as Hayraarket Square. With a 

 natural aptitude for the work all these 

 years of experience has equipped her 

 with an understanding of the seed busi- 

 ness attained by few. 



Notes. 

 Blockade restrictions on importation 

 of clover seed into Norway are abol- 

 ished. 



J. A. Melady, lately with Carter's 

 Tested Seeds, Boston, has accepted a 

 position in the vegetable seed depart- 

 ment of Weeber & Don, New York. 



Washington, D. C. — The C. B. & 

 Q. R. Co., has been ordered to refund 

 to the Sioux City Seed & Nursery Co., 

 of Sioux City, Iowa, the sum of $363.68, 

 being an overcharge on three cars of 

 clover seed from Cowley and Lovell, 

 Wyo., and Silesia, Mont., to Sioux City, 

 In December, 1915.
