Paper Whites are proving good prop- 

 erty. 



What effect will peace have on the de- 

 mand for seeds for spring planting? 



The petition in bankruptcy filed Oc- 

 tober 4 against the A. T. Boddington Co., 

 New York, was dismissed November 12, 

 on application of the creditora who filed 

 it. 



The Aggeler & Musser Seed Co., Los 

 Angeles, Cal., has removed its wholesale 

 and retail seed business from the old lo- 

 cation on North Main street to 620 South 

 Spring street. 



The catalogues for the southern trade 

 will have to go on the press pretty soon; 

 printers are not busy, but they are short- 

 handed and a job takes longer now than 

 a year ago, as well as costing more. 



Apparently the United States govern- 

 ment will do what it can to stimulate food 

 production in 1919. The idea may be Mr. 

 Wilson's beneficent one of feeding the 

 conquered fje, but it will not hurt the seed 

 business. 



"The Growing of Broccoli Seed" was 

 the subject of an address by C. W. Kruse, 

 a seed grower of Oswego, Ore., before the 

 State Horticultural Society of Oregon at 

 its meeting at Roscburg, Ore., Novem- 

 ber 5 to 7. 



Charles Dickinson, of the Albert 

 Dickinson Co., Chicago, was notified No- 

 vember 16 that his stepson. First Lieut. 

 Gordon Boyd, was killed in action in 

 France November 5. Lieutenant Boyd 

 had been in France since January. 



The Wholesale Seedsmen 's League held 

 its annual meeting in New York Novem- 

 ber 15. The secretary thinks nothing 

 should be published regarding it, although 

 the general impression is that the league's 

 doings are not inimical to either the 

 trade or tlie public interest. 



In the grass seed trade it is consid- 

 ered that peace is a bull card and there 

 has been, in fact, some advance in prices 

 on timothy and redtop since the armistice 

 was signed. The price of clovers already 

 had readied such altitudes that it is ques- 

 tionable if there is room for further as- 

 cension. 



CANNERS SEE BIG YEAR. 



With practically all restrictions re- 

 moved from the canning industry, the 

 government already placing orders for 

 1919 delivery and the probability that 

 the United States will be called on to 

 supply a large portion of the world's 

 food supply for some time to come, there 

 was a feeling of optimism at the semi- 

 annual meeting of the Western Canners' 

 Association, held at the Hotel La Salle, 

 Chicago, November 15 and 16. All the 

 canners present reported a capacity sea- 

 son and expected that the same condi- 

 tions would prevail next year. 



Because of government restrictions, 

 there were not the usual displays of 

 seeds, but a number of seedsmen were 

 on hand for the sessions. Among them 

 were: Fred Lembke and H. A. Sertoli, 

 representing the W. W. Barnard Co.,
