Thkeie is a strong demand in the seed 

 trade for competent managers. Good 

 men are hard to get and harder to hold. 



J. A. & B. Lincoln, Chicago, are a 

 new house in the mail-order seed trade. 

 They have a compactly built 32-page and 

 cover general catalogue on the press. 

 Headquarters are at 38 ^outh La Salle 

 street. 



The steamer Kerlevir, which arrived at 

 New York January 10 from Hamburg, 

 brought 175 cases of valley pips, con- 

 signed to the International Forwarding 

 Co. This shipment brings the total num- 

 ber of cases of valley pips received from 

 Hamburg up to 597. 



Eenest M. Jones, for several years in 

 the employ of the Ford Seed Co., Ka- 

 venna, O., has bought an interest in this 

 company, which is laying plans for yet 

 greater development under the joint man- 

 agement of J. H. Ford and E. M. Jones. 

 Mr. Jones served his country for about 

 two years during the war, receiving his 

 discharge in July, 1919. 



MOTT-LY GLEAKINOS. 



Chas. F. Saul, Syracuse, N. Y., in con- 

 trasting pre-war and present prices on 

 field seeds, observed that many smaller 

 seedsmen would undoubtedly give up 

 this line, owing to the large amount of 

 capital tied up and the small margin of 

 profit BOW made. 



Manager Day, of Ebeling's Seed 

 Store, Syracuse, mentioned that this 

 firm was considering the plan of 

 abolishing night work. An early sea- 

 son will facilitate this. 



The head of the Theilmann Seed Co., 

 Erie, Pa., speaking of the seedsmen's 

 problems, mentioned that short stocks 

 are less bothersome this year than re- 

 duced hoars. This company proposes 

 to keep an accounting and allow all ex- 

 tra time possible during the summer 

 season. 



Geo. L. Siegel, Erie, pioneer seeds- 

 man, is decidedly sanguine regarding 

 the business during the coming season. 



C. Zuch & Sons, Erie, Pa., are among 

 the most successful vegetable growers. 

 An additional house, 80x413, is in course 

 of erection by the Lord & Bumha Co. 



Walter E. Cook, Cleveland, O., re- 

 marked that late arrivals of stock, to- 

 gether with hold-ups in price lists, 

 bothet the retailer who has not had 

 long experience and consequently finds 

 difficulty in making quotations. Bust 

 ness among the private estates is stead- 

 ily increasing. 



Johnson's Seed Store, of Cleveland, 

 is "mnltum in parvo, " so to speak. 

 Says the busy head of this younger 

 seed firm, "We cannot allow another 

 year to pass before we have more 

 room." 



The Botzum Bros. Seed Co., Cleve- 

 land, is well equipped in its new build- 

 ing for both wholesale and retail trade. 

 The Akron branch is also in line with 

 a new equipment. 



C. A. Henriksen, of Newbury, O., is a 

 leader in poultry supplies, a valuable 

 accessory to any retail seed business. 

 One department helps the other.
