"IN ALL THAT IS GOOD. IOWA AFFORDS THE BEST" 



GLADIOLI

Gladioli that are grown in the Gardens of Avon, which are located in the heart of the agricultural district of America, 

 are grown in sand and are free from disease. They will produce full bloom and reproduce a strong, first-class bulb 

 this year. We offer AMERICA 



the supreme variety for florist cut flowers. They are nice plump bulbs, one and one-half inches in diameter and up, 

 second year from bulblets, hand sorted, and absolutely full count.

at 1521 Newberry avenue, on which stands 

 a four-story brick building occupied by 

 the Illinois Seed Co. The transfer of 

 title will entail no immediate change in 

 the use of the land and, according to the 

 officers of the seed company, no plans for 

 the future, relative to a change of loca- 

 tion, have as yet been formulated. 



According to A. H. Smith, of the Leon- 

 ard Seed Co., Chicago, the onion set sea- 

 son has opened up much earlier than us- 

 ual. Yellow and red varieties are bring- 

 ing $2 per bushel, while whites are bring- 

 ing from $2.75 to $3 per bushel in large 

 quantities. He says the orders from the 

 southern and central states are arriving 

 in a volume that is ordinarily not ex- 

 pected until at least thirty days later. 

 As a result, the office and warehouse em- 

 ployees of this concern have been work- 

 ing nights for the last two weeks. 



BENNIE'S FIBE LOSS. 



Although a loss of possibly as much 

 as $200,000 was incurred in the fire, 

 February 20, in the seed establishment 

 of William Rennie & Co., Toronto, the 

 concern was fully insured. The dam- 

 age was principally by water, the loss 

 on the building being estimated at only 

 $7,000. 



The fire was in the main building of 

 the firm, at 130 to 136 Adelaide street, 

 and started at the east end of the top 

 floor, where the lighter and most valu- 

 able seeds were carried. The firm's 

 stock seeds were on this floor, but were 

 at the extreme west end and were not 

 damaged. The grass seeds were in the 

 Lombard street warehouse, separated 

 by- an alley, and were not damaged. 

 The fire department extinguished the 

 flames in an hour, but only by the use 

 of great quantities of water that 

 flooded all three floors and basement. 

 Thomas Rennie stated that the fire, 

 which resulted from defective electric 

 wiring, caught them with practically 

 the maximum stock for the year and 

 burned or wet many items that it will 

 be difficult to replace under the exist- 

 ing state of the market.
