 to 21, 1917. 



Henry Spielman, of Spielman Bros., 

 Adrian, Mich., died February 22, at the 

 age of 47. 



The Hollanders still are booking orders 

 wherever they may, but with no assur- 

 ance of being able to ship the goods. 



The catalogues contain the usual lists 

 of flower seeds just as though the usual 

 imports from Germany had come across. 



The price of table potatoes and of 

 onions has fallen sharply within the week, 

 but seed potatoes have not weakened in 

 price. 



J. C. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed 

 Co., Chicago, is paying a visit to the com- 

 pany 's warehouses at Columbus and 

 Marshall, Wis. 



There is a general belief that several 

 millions of Dutch gladiolus bulbs will ar- 

 rive late in the season. But they should 

 be readily salable until at least July 1. 



We hear of German flower seeds on 

 personally conducted excursions, but the 

 total must be small in comparison to the 

 quantities that came over when the reg- 

 ular ways were open. 



The Georgia Seed & Grocery Co., For- 

 syth, Ga., will hereafter do business as 

 the Ehodes Seed Co. W. K. Khodcs, the 

 proprietor, is moving to a new corner lo- 

 cation and plans a complete seed stock. 



What process of reasoning leads to the 

 use of full-page mail order seed ads in 

 the largest metropolitan Sunday papers? 

 Some of those published March 4, by D. 

 M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, cost as much as 

 $1,000 each. 



The lily bulb business at the moment 

 does not appear to afford possibilities for 

 profit commensurate with higher costs of 

 doing business and the risks involved. 

 There are so many sellers after the orders 

 that the large buyers are not certain 

 where the price inducements will stop, or 

 which ones safely may be closed with. 



Because of the embargoes on freight 

 and the delays on shipments in transit, 

 the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, is advising 

 customers to order stock shipped by ex- 

 press, the difference in rate, figured by 

 the pound, being for most points only 

 % cent to 1 cent more than by freight. 

 To aid customers in meeting the extra ex- 

 pense, the company is charging 25 cents 

 less per bushel on onion sets where these 

 are ordered by express. 



The months of January and February 

 usually determine the size of the maU or- 

 der season, as nearly all seedsmen have as 

 much in March as the staff is able to han- 

 dle and increases in the height of the rush 

 are difficult. January did not show even 

 results, for the reason that many cata- 

 logues were late, but February has been 

 unusually good with all the mail order 

 seedsmen. The high prices of vegetables 

 are causing a great increase in the num- 

 ber of garden makers.
