for the work, but discontinuance of the 

 work is not being considered." 



Prices of the bett«r varieties of gladi- 

 oli are higher in Holland today than they 

 were before the war. Also, the supply is 

 smaller. 



James Vick's Sons, Kochester, report 

 a heavy spring business. They are unusu- 

 ally busy at their wholesale store and are 

 employing extra help to cope with the in- 

 creased business. At the Stone street 

 store they are doing a good retail busi- 

 ness, both in seeds and plants, moving 

 large quantities of stock. They have 

 planned a more extensive acreage this 

 year at their seed farm at Ogden, N, Y. 



PARCEL POST SEEDS RELEASED. 



Hearings have been resumed in the 

 prize court at London, England, in re- 

 gard to parcel post packages seized by 

 the British authorities and a decision 

 was rendered May 8 releasing to Amer- 

 ican importers represented by A. G. 

 Hays consignments of garden and 

 flower seeds tak«n from the Danish 

 liner United States. The court followed 

 the recent decision under which it re- 

 leased gloves for America on the de- 

 posit of their invoice price pending 

 final determination of the facts con- 

 cerning their purchase. 



"ROCKY FORD" MELONS. 



Muskmelons of the Rocky Ford type, 

 grown in localities other than Rocky 

 Ford, Colo., may be labeled "Rocky 

 Ford," provided the name of the state 

 or territory where the melons are pro- 

 duced is stated on the principal label, 

 according to a recent decision of the 

 U. S. Bureau of Chemistry. This deci- 

 sion was reached for the reason that 

 the term "Rocky Ford," as applied to 

 muskmelons, has come to mean a par- 

 ticular type of muskmelon grown in 

 various localities of the Unite<l States. 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



S. M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich., 

 are reorganizing their business to 

 adapt it to the conditions of the period. 

 A large warehouse will be built ad- 

 joining the railroad, affording addi- 

 tional facilities for storage and han- 

 dling of garden seeds. "We feel the 

 loss of E. J. Sheap keenly," said Vice- 

 president E. R. Reithmiller. "He was 

 a loyal and earnest worker and wo 

 esteemed him highly." 



The Mohrmann Seed Co., of Detroit, 

 Mich., reports exceptionally good busi- 

 ness at its two stores. The stores are 

 handling a full line of hardy roses and 

 shrubbery, but these require much time, 

 which is hard to spare during the busy 

 seed tide. 



The Jones Seed Co., of Grand Rapids, 

 Mich., reports exceptionally good sales 

 of heavy seeds. The company is for- 

 tunate in having about 1,000 bushels 

 of seed corn of the 1914 harvest, which 

 tests out almost 100 per cent germina- 

 tion, whereas the crop of 1915 tests out 

 only about fifty per cent. "We shall 

 sell all our stock at retail, possibly 

 around $4 per bushel. Even at $5 per 

 bushel planters will get a more satis- 

 factory return, and I shall not be sur- 

 prised if $5 is not the average price 

 before the season is over," commented 

 Manager J. Beach. 



George H. Hunkel, of Milwaukee, 

 said: "Hereafter we will let the other 

 fellow handle onion sets and let him do 

 the weeping." It is understood that
