Two brothers, Arthur and Raymond

The G. B. McVay & Son Seed Co., 

 Birmingham, Ala., plans to become a fac- 

 tor in the flower seed business in the 

 United States. 



Lily bulbs will cost more in Japan this 

 season than last and the freight will be 

 higher, which leads to the supposition that 

 those who are cutting prices for fall de- 

 livery in the United States have some 

 other motive than profits. 



The southeastern United States pro- 

 duces great quantities of tuberoses, can- 

 nas and caladiums and an .important 

 quantity of amaryllis bulbs, with a pros- 

 pect that soon narcissus and freesia bulbs 

 from that section will have to be reck- 

 oned with. 



The Dutch bulb travelers admit busi-

 higher prices than last year at a time 

 when bulbous flowers are extremely

 effect on business, they say, as is the un- 

 certainty regarding the shipment of the 

 bulbs. 



Carload orders for all varieties of

 says of the business done in February. 



HELPING ONE'S COMPETITOE. 



"It has dawned on the progressive 

 merchant," said a speaker at the recent 

 meeting of the Canners' Association, 

 "that in no other way can he advance 

 his interests more than by advancing 

 the interests of his competitors. It 

 sounds paradoxical, but it is literally 

 true. 



"It is not so long ago — many of us 

 can remember the time distinctly 

 — when it would have been considered 

 suicidal for any merchant to have given 

 his competitor the benefit of informa- 

 tion he had obtained by the outlay of 

 time and money. But what a change 

 has taken place! Men have since come
