C. E. Chesmore, of Chesmore-Eastlake 

 Merc. Co., St. Joseph, Mo., was in Chi- 

 cago last week. 



Wm. C. Rickards, of J. M. Thorburn 

 & Co., New York, was in Chicago De- 

 cember 1 and 2. 



W. P. Stubbs, of Wood, Stubbs & 

 Co., Louisville, Ky., was in Chicago the 

 first part of the week. 



C. E. KiMBERLiN, of the Kimberlin 

 Seed Co., Santa Clara, Cal., was in Chi- 

 cago November 30 and December 1. 



H. A. BuNYARD, New York, has closed 

 the "Up-town Seed Store" and taken 

 desk room at 42 West Twenty-eighth 

 street. 



The Ohio state canners' convention 

 will be held at Columbus, December 12 

 and 13. Several seed houses will be rep- 

 resented. 



The first general seed catalogue is over- 

 due ; ordinarily The Eeview receives it in 

 the first week of December and almost 

 always from Columbus, O. 



On this week's boat from Copenhagen 

 Loewith, Larson & Co. had 111 bags of 

 turnip seed and there were numerous 

 other smaller shipments of Danish vege- 

 table seeds. 



D. V. BuRRELL, Colorado seed grower 

 of many vears ' standing, is entering the 

 mail order field. He has begun adver- 

 tising his catalogue in magazines of gen- 

 eral circulation. 



The Indiana State Canners' conven- 

 tion was, according to A. H. Smith, of 

 the Leonard Seed Co., an exceptionally 

 successful and optimistic meeting, more 

 business of all kinds being done than 

 there has been seen at similar previous 

 conventions for several years. 



The government of the Netherlands in 

 late November added a number of vari- 

 eties of vegetable seeds to the list which 

 may not be exported. Embargoes gradu- 

 allv are shutting off such seed supplies as 

 are not interrupted by the blockade, so 

 America seems likely to be forced to be- 

 come practically self-reliant. 



According to E. S. Leonard, of the 

 Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, indications 

 are that prices of onion sets will be 

 higher next year than this, due to the 

 fact that farmers are obliged to ask more 

 because of the higher cost of labor, etc. 

 It is also becoming more difficult to ob- 

 tain acreage for onion sets. 



Indications are that Michigan and 

 French-grown radish seed is going to be 

 one of the scarcest articles in the way of 

 small garden seeds, and that higher prices 

 will therefore obtain. Recent reports 

 state that the French crops were almost a 

 complete failure, while the Michigan crop 

 is light. There are gardeners and other 

 critical buyers who have thought they 

 could not use any other radish seed. 



The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, has 

 made a new house rule against the use of 

 beer or other intoxicating drinks by its 

 employees during business hours. The 

 company believes that its employees can 

 find a better use for their money and 

 furthermore that they will be more capa-
