Alfred Watkins, of Watkins & Simp- 

 son, London, has been elected president 

 of the Horticultural Trades' Association 

 of Great Britain. 



Onion sets continue in good demand at 

 from $2 to $2.25 in good-sized orders to 

 jobbers, for yellow and red. White stock 

 sells at from $3 to $3.50 for good stock. 



F. W, Bruggerhof, dean of the Amer- 

 ican seed trade and president of J. M. 

 Thorburn & Co., New York, last Saturday 

 celebrated his eighty-seventh birthday an- 

 niversary. He still keeps in active touch 

 with the business. 



The White Seed Co., Plainview, Tex., 

 has let the contract for a new building 

 to cost $10,000. The old buildings will 

 be sold and removed. The new building 

 will be ready for occupancy in Decem- 

 ber. The company will continue to sell 

 seeds, bulbs, incubatort* and poultry sup- 

 plies. 



S. F. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed 

 Co., Chicago, is inspecting crops of sweet 

 corn the company is growing. He re- 

 ports a fair crop of choice narrow-grain 

 Evergreen, which is one of the company 's 

 specialties. Edward Leonard has started 

 on his annual duck shooting trip with 

 some Wisconsin friends. 



J. Charles McCullough, the Cincin- 

 nati seedsman, returned recently from a 

 fishing trip to the Florida coast. He 

 brought back a fish so large that it is 

 said it was necessary to remove one of 

 the doors of his seed warehouse to get it 

 into the building. Which is some fish 

 for a man 65 years old to land. 



The first shipments of giganteum bulbs 

 from Japan have come in and gone out. 

 Orders have been filled only in part, but 

 later shipments are expected to supply 

 the quantity necessary to fill all orders 

 for autumn delivery. The indications are 

 that the quantity of bulbs received will 

 not leave many to go into cold storage. 



Dutch bulbs have come to hand little 

 if any later than last year. Statistics as 

 to the quantity imported this season are 

 lacking, but apparently it is not so large 

 a quantity as last year. It will be re- 

 membered that last season the only sur- 

 plus was of stock received much later 

 than this and it is probable that the 

 bulbs constituting the two cargoes thus 

 far received will clean up promptly. 



Certain importers of French bulbs are 

 said to have had another illustration of 

 the folly of depending on ungetatable 

 sources of supply. Certain concerns, lo- 

 cated neither in America nor France, 

 took advance orders for French bulbs at 

 prices that did not permit them to cover 

 themselves when they tried to buy, so 

 they simply lay down and left their cus- 

 tomers to supply themselves as best they 

 may. 



The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, 

 O., is discontinuing^ a number of its de- 

 partments with the intention of concen- 

 trating all the energies of the manage- 

 ment on the seed department, which has 

 been growing rapidly. The cut flower 

 store, at one time the most important in 

 Columbus, has been discontinued and it
