January weather has been highly fa- 

 vorable to the mail order seed trade, and 

 there is a general disposition to look on 

 January increases as so much net gain. 



At last week's canners' convention the 

 official action was in the direction of hip- 

 hurrah encouragement to the industry to 

 go ahead strong, but the individual opin- 

 ion was less confidently optimistic and 

 there was no rush to buy seeds. 



A. Henderson & C5o., Chicago, have 

 bought the business, stock and contracts 

 of Winterson's Seed Store, also of Chi- 

 cago, and will combine and develop the 

 two businesses at the address of the lat- 

 ter, 166 North Wabash avenue. 



. An Oklahoma City editor urges the 

 passage of a pure seed law by the legisla- 

 ture now in session as a necessity to pro- 

 tect the interest of the farmer, arguing 

 that the principle which underlies pure 

 food legislation applies equally to the sale 

 of seeds. 



George Tegelaar, of Drevon-Tegelaar 

 & Co., Ollioules, France, who married the 

 daughter of a well known Chicago florist, 

 and calls that city home, returned last 

 week from an outing with Mrs. Tegelaar 

 on the east coast of Florida. He is on 

 his way to New York to open a permanent 

 office for his firm. John Drevon, the 

 French member of the firm, has just been 

 released from a (Jerman prison; he was 

 captured in 1914. 



A MILIilON PACKETS. 



The Everette E. Peacock Co., Chicago, 

 has begun the work of putting up a 

 million packets of vegetable and flower 

 seeds. 



pacipic coast seed notes. 



A bill to regulate the sale of seeds and 

 requiring seed dealers to guarantee the 

 quality of seeds was introduced in the 

 senate of California a few days ago by 

 Senator Rigdon. The measure would 

 create a division of seed inspection un- 

 der the jurisdiction of the state horticul- 

 tural commissioners. 



Owen S. Trott, representing London 

 garden and flower seedsmen, has been 

 making a tour of the seed-growing dis- 

 tricts of California. He says prac- 

 tically all of Europe is now depending 

 upon this state to supply the seeds that 

 formerly came from Germany. 



The Fancher Creek Nurseries, Fresno, 

 Cal., again have purchased the crop of 

 walnuts from a certain large tree in the 

 yard of Mrs. Bachel Lyman, at Yuba 

 City, Cal., for use as seed for nursery 

 stock. This tree is said to be one of the 

 largest walnut trees in the state and is 

 forty years old. M. M.
