 be the protection of the shippers who 

 changed from the Holland-America to 

 the Cunard line when the latter, upon 

 resuming its sailings from Eotterdam 

 after the war, oflfered the inducement of 

 slightly lower rates to the Dutch ex- 

 porters.

BOLGIANO TRUCKS WIN PRIZE. 



J. Bolgiano & Son's fleet of automo- 

 biles won the prize for the best decorat- 

 ed fleet in Baltimore's automobile pa- 

 rade Saturday, September 20. There 

 were about 1,600 trucks in line. The 

 garden float, which led their fleet, was 

 composed of a miniature growing gar- 

 den, containing asparagus, beans, car- 

 rots, lettuce, beets, cabbage, endive and 

 tomatoes all laid off in rows and actually 

 growing. Working in the garden was a 

 farmerette assisted by a farmer boy, 

 who was wheeling a wheelbarrow filled 

 with vegetables. 



Following the garden float was a truck 

 showing an immense poultry house and 

 a rooster so large that he looked suspi- 

 ciously human. He even shimmied to 

 the amusement of the spectators, but it 

 seemed that he could not crow. Each 

 department of J. Bolgiano & Son's seed 

 store was represented by a truck in the 

 fleet. The firm also competed in the con- 

 test for the best slogan for motor trucks, 

 submitting, "We auto deliver and we 

 do," and "Autos put the 'dust' in in- 

 dustry. ' ' 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



"The best laid schemes of mice and 

 men gang aft agley," observed Mrs. 

 S. B. Stewart, of Stewart's Seed Store, 

 Omaha, Neb. "While I was on my 

 vacation this summer, both men and 

 mice ran things to suit themselves. Now 

 for the mice!" And the sterner sex 

 know that when the fair sex are un- 

 afraid of the little rodent — well, er — 

 S. B. Stewart is doing big things at the 

 nursery end, supplying the store with 

 cut perennials, from which orders are 

 booked for fall delivery. Charles Stew- 

 art has charge of the seed department 

 and speaks encouragingly of progress 

 since the setback some two years ago. 

 Carl Magersdorf, manager of the 

 Atchison Seed & Flower Store Co., Atch- 

 ison, Kan., takes pride in the unique 

 character of the store, which was de- 

 signed by him and arranged to care for 

 seeds on one side and plants on the 

 other. The idea is cleverly carried out; 

 a pergola with brick and tiled floor fol- 

 lows the window and ends in an icebox. 

 The seed window is separate and is util- 

 ized through the flower season. Stock is 

 largely supplied from the greenhouses, 

 under the charge of Ernest Magers- 

 dorf. Readers of The Review will be 

 glad to know that Carl Magersdorf has 

 fully recovered from the burns received 

 when rescuing his family from the house 

 which was destroyed by flre.
