TURNIP SEED 



Seed Trade News 



AKEXIOAN SEED TSADE ASSOCIATION. 

 President, Kirby B. White, Detroit, Mich.; 

 Secretary-Treasurer, 0. B. Kendel, OleTeland. O. 



There are rumors of important changes 

 as impending in Chicago seed and bulb 

 houses. 



I"? is not a question of wliether or not 

 seed crops will be short this season, but 

 of how short. 



The autumn call for seeds in the 

 south is said to be unusually good, es- 

 pecially for beet and turnip. 



S. F. Leonard, Chicago, was 64 years 

 t»f age September 4. He has recently re- 

 turned from a tour of the Pacific coast 

 seed growing sections. 



"Kew^ England seed growers have had 

 too wet a season, middle western grow- 

 ers too dry and hot. On the whole the 

 eastern crops are the better. 



Bulb prices in Holland are making 

 sharp advances, especially tulips, for 

 hyacinths are much less strong. For in- 

 stance, cable quotations on La Reine are 

 almost uniformly $5, where sales as low 

 as $2.50 last season are on record. 



Wm. H. Mihm, general business man- 

 ager of J. Bolgiano & Son, and a party 

 of friends motored from Baltimore 

 through the Alleghany mountains, where 

 they have been the guests for a few days 

 of Charles J. Bolgiano at his summer 

 home near Mountain Lake Park, Md. 



The Henry Field Seed Co., of Shenan- 

 doah, la., had a large exhibit at the state 

 fair at Des Moines last month. Rather 

 than risk sending the exhibit by freight, 

 and as express was so expensive, the com- 

 pany decided to send the whole outfit, 

 men, exhibit and all, overland by auto 

 truck. The distance to Des Moines was 

 160 miles, but the trip was made in less 

 than ten hours and the stock delivered in 

 better shape than if it had been sent by 

 express. 



Although the late Henry A. Salzer, 

 of La Crosse, Wis., held property in al- 

 most every state in the Union and in 

 Canada, diligent search thus far has 

 failed to reveal a will. John P. Salzer, 

 brother of the deceased, is to be ap- 

 pointed special administrator as soon as 

 bond is filed, when further search will be 

 made in a private vault at the bank. The 

 deceased, who was president of the John 

 A. Salzer Seed Co., was killed in an au- 

 tomobile accident August 22. 



BRITISH LOSE FRENCH BULBS. 



The bulb market at Ollioules, France, 

 has been further tightened by the loss 

 at sea about August 15 of the greater 

 part of the season's exports to Eng- 

 land, the bulbs going down in the Medi- 

 terranean when theS. S. Savonian was 

 torpedoed by a German submarine. It 

 is impossible that the stock be replaced 

 this season, as practically all the crop 

 already had been sold and was afloat by 

 the time the news of the loss was re- 

 ceived. It still is possible, however, to 

 pick up small quantities of undersized 

 bulbs and the price of these has been 

 materially strengthened.
