 entrances at the side and rear affofd 

 'excellent facilities for handling bulk 

 goods. A strong bid y/ill be n^ade f pr

 land, O., is well satisfied with the sea- 

 son's business. Mr. Kendel is enjoying 

 a well-earned vacation. 



Johnson's Seed Store,- Cleveland, has 

 also shared in the successes of the sea- 

 son. Both the senior and junior mem- 

 ben Cft tte concern are taking a short 

 rest. 



Wood & Co., of East Cleveland, are 

 optimistic. "Until we . take stock," 

 observed Manager Eotherham, "we do 

 not know what special line has sold the 

 most, but the average must be good." 

 Walter E. Cook, of St. Clair Street, 

 Cleveland, was a busy man among the 

 private gardeners during convention 

 week. As he is personally -known to 

 them, they seek his advice, wbfWf'Ts 

 cheerfully given. 



Harry Dow, located on the west side, 

 in Cleveland is enjoying a flourishing 

 combined seed and plaint trade. He

HAVEN SEED CO. HISTOBY. 



In the Santa Ana, Cal., iJ^egfiBter for 

 August 14> the Haven Seed Co. occupied 

 a prominent place on the front pagp of 

 the prosperity section of the paper. 

 The article gave something of the com- 

 pany^ history, as follows: 

 ^ "The Haven Seed Co. is now in its 

 forty-fifth year, having been established 

 j_lS75 at Blomningdale, Mich. Its 

 >under vas.th^ jiate E. M. Haven, then 



youth 0^19, who determined to start 

 bjiSiiness for himself after having 

 a period of apprenticeship with 

 ford, 111., seed concern. Mr. Ha- 

 ven- -was a pioneer grower of radish 

 seed, having as high as 500 acres planted 

 for tiii^ ojjLe product alone. He also pro- 

 duced ^lara;^ quantities of sweet corn, 

 beans, tofliMo and other kinds of seed, 

 and shipped in carload lots to the big- 

 gest seed firms in the country." 



In 1910 the company made its first 

 plantings in Orange county, California, 

 on a 20-acre tract. Two years larer 160 

 acres were planted, mostly to tomato 

 seed. This year 400 acres are planted 

 to tomato seed and 200 acres to other 

 crops. 



E. M. Haven died tvyo years ago and 

 the business is now managed by his two 

 sons, A. B. Haven, president of the com- 

 pany, and L. S. Haven, secretary. Last 

 year a large 3-st«r}c sarAouse was built 

 at Santa Ana. Last year 's seed jtrop 

 harvested by the company included 75,- 

 000 pounds of tomato and 15,000 pounds 

 of pepper, melon, lima bean and other 

 seed. This year 's crop is expected to be 

 twenty-five per cent larger. Thirty 

 miles of tile are used in the .dil^inage 

 system on the land south of Santa Ana.
