No. 7574. Vegetable and Flower 

 Seeds. — An American consular officer in 

 a Latin American country, in response 

 to inquiries from the United States, 

 writes that the leading dealer in vege- 

 table and flower seeds in his district 

 would be glad to enter into relations 

 with concerns in the United States for 

 importing their seeds at profitable fig- 

 ures. Hitherto he has imported most 

 of his seeds from European countries, 

 as he claims that prices in the United 

 States have been too high. Firms 

 should correspond directly with this 

 dealer, sending him catalogues, price 

 lists, discounts, etc. These should be 

 in the Spanish language, and it would 

 be advisable for prices to be quoted 

 in local currency f.o.b. some well- 

 known American seaport. Weights and 

 measures should be expressed in the 

 metric system. The consular officer 

 also suggests that firms send cata- 

 logues and literature to the commer- 

 cial organizations in the leading cen- 

 ters of the country, a list of which is 

 given in the report and can be ob- 

 tained from the Bureau of Manufac- 

 tures. 



No. 7580. Garden Seeds of Various 

 Kinds.— A report from an American 

 consular officer states that owing to 

 the continued drought of the past sum- 

 mer, a certain country is practically 

 without seeds for spinach, carrots, tur- 

 nips and flowers. Offers should be 

 made immediately. Names of promi- 

 nent dealers, who should be addressed, 

 are given in the report.

During the big wind and rain storm 

 on Saturday night a large plate glass 

 window of C. Young & Sons' Co., at

 latter from Chicago, were in a big 

 smashup the past week in which both

 bile. Mr. Zender came out with but 

 a few hurts but Mr. Smith was pain- 

 fully hurt about the face and body 

 which kept him in doors all of the 

 week. From reports he will be out 

 this week.

 ing the members and visitors were

 mum show given by the Garden. This 

 was the most enjoyable meeting the 

 club has had for a long time. They 

 meet every second Monday in the
