Seed Trade News 



AMEBICAN SEES TBASE ASSOCIATION. 



President. P. W. Bolglano, Washington. D. 0.; 

 Secretary-Treasurer, C. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O. 



Word has been received that French 

 bulbs are afloat. 



The weather to date continues favor- 

 able for the Chicago onion set crop. 



The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, re- 

 ports a heavy demand for turnip seed. 



Excavation work has been completed 

 by the John A. Salzer Seed Co., La 

 Crosse, Wis., for a 4-story brick and con- 

 crete building, 63x163 feet. When com- 

 pleted the building will be used for the 

 company's office and mailing room. 



Charles Dickinson, of the Albert 

 Dickinson Co., Chicago, is president of 

 the Aero Club of Illinois, and is devoting 

 a large part of his time to the affairs of 

 the two airdromes the government has 

 established in his state for the training of 

 army aviators. 



The trade is issuing its summer cata- 

 logues of fall bulbs, later than usual but 

 in much the same form as heretofore, indi- 

 cating general confidence that imports will 

 come. Prices quoted are high, especially 

 on French bulbs, some of the books omit- 

 ting figures on Paper Whites. 



The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, is 

 erecting a new warehouse for onion sets 

 at Des Plaines, 111. The building will be 

 entirely of tile and concrete, absolutely 

 fireproof, and will have a capacity of 

 about 75,000 bushels. John C. Leonard 

 is on a western trip, inspecting crops. 



Chicago seedsmen were visited last 

 week by C. Herbert Coy, president of the 

 Coy Seed Co., Valley, Neb., who, accom- 

 panied by members of his family, is 

 going by easy stages to New York in 

 his Moline-Knight. Mr. Coy says that 

 so far the crops in his state are doing 

 well. 



Sluis & Groot, Enkhuizen, Holland, 

 July 3 celebrated the fiftieth anniversary 

 of the business. Both founders, N. Sluis 

 and N. Groot, respectively 83 years and 

 73 years of age, still enjoy excellent 

 health and are active. The fathers and 

 grandfathers of both these gentlemen 

 occupied themselves in seed growing, and 

 the vegetable and flower seeds of the firm 

 now are sent to all parts of the world. 



The nation-wide campaign for gardens 

 has made for a tremendous lot of early 

 green vegetables, as the weather has been 

 favorable and amateurs have been suc- 

 cessful. This was strongly felt by the 

 truck grower for a while, but the market 

 now is picking up rapidly and there un- 

 doubtedly will be a strong fall market. 

 The success of home gardens this year 

 will undoubtedly tend toward stimulat- 

 ing efforts in the future. 



More than $100,000 and stock in the 

 L. Teweles Seed Co. are bequeathed to 

 six children under the terms of the will 

 of Ludwig Tewelos, tlie veteran seeds- 

 man of Milwaukee, who died last month 

 of heart failure. The widow, Mrs. Hari- 

 ette Teweles, receives $40,000, while nu- 

 merous relatives are remembered to the 

 extent of from $500 to $1,000 each. The 

 business becomes the property of the 

 five sons, Hugo, Arthur, Max, Oscar and 

 Edwin Teweles.
