Howard M. Earl is the ' ' Who 's Who ' ' 

 this week. 



The Dutch bulbs are cleaning up even 

 faster than the most enthusiastic ex- 

 pected. 



The Barteldes Seed Co., Lawrence, 

 Kan., surprised the Bed Cross agency 

 there, when, in response to the appeal 

 for peach pits, it donated fifty-two 

 sacks, weighing more than two tons. 

 The pits originally w^ere purchased for 

 seed. 



Adolph Kruhm, who November 1 be- 

 came secretary of Beckert's Seed Store, 

 Pittsburgh, enjoys a large acquaintance in 

 the trade and brings to this connection a 

 wide and varied experience. His former 

 affiliations were with the W. Atlee Bur- 

 pee Co., Philadelphia, and the Living- 

 ston Seed Co., Columbus, O., and as man- 

 ager of the horticultural department of 

 Country Life and the Garden Magazine. 



The new home of A. C. Kendel, Cleve- 

 land, occupies an advantageous site on 

 the southeast corner of Prospect avenue 

 and North Second street. It is a modem, 

 4-story, fireproof structure, of reinforced 

 concrete construction, with facade of 

 white terra cotta. The location is easily 

 accessible from the market house district. 

 With the exception of space leased in the 

 west store room to a clothing house, the 

 entire building will be occupied ))v the 

 seed store. The first three stories are 

 high enough to permit the installation 

 of balconies for storage purposes. The 

 house of Kendel is said to be one of the 

 two or three oldest firms in tlie citv of 

 Cleveland. 



SEEDS IN FIRST CLASS. 



Reclassification on Priorities List. 



The Priorities Division of the War 

 Industries Board November 6 placed 

 seeds in Class 1 on the priorities list. 



This announcement was made to the 

 members of the American Seed Trade 

 Association by President F. W. Bol- 

 giano, of Washington, D. C. It was re- 

 ceived with great satisfaction, as this 

 change in classification places seeds on 

 a par with munitions, food and other 

 highly essential things. But the great- 

 est advantage the order brings to the 

 trade is that seeds now will be given 

 preference by the railroads when in 

 transit, partially solving the problem 

 of transportation at this time, when 

 conditions are far from satisfactorv. 



The change in classification ' was 

 brought about by a special committee of 

 the association, which has been urging 

 tliat seeds l)e placed in Class 1 ever 

 since the Priorities Division made its 

 classification last summer. President 

 Bolgiano, together with the war service 

 committee of the association, consisting 

 of Kirby B. White, of D. M. Ferry & 

 Co., Detroit; John L. Hunt, of the 

 Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge, 

 N. Y.; William G. Scarlett, of W. G. 

 Scarlett & Co., Baltimore; C. C. Massie, 

 of Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis, 

 and Howard M. Earl, now associated
