rie received much praise from the vis- 

 itors for the splendid arrangement in 

 the larger* parks and also in the many 

 smaller spa<}es. Mr. Currie observed 

 that while now Pabst exists in name 

 only, it being only a dark shadow of its 

 former self, floriculture can and un- 

 doubtedly will continue to make Mil- 

 waukee famous. W. M. 



On the Bead. 



' ' Cleaning up a bit, ' ' observed W. T. 

 Phillips, of the W. T. Phillips Seed Co., 

 Toledo, O., who was going through the 

 cabinet drawers and filling a basket 

 with matter that cost money to produce, 

 but which could be counted as so much 

 waste or spent air. "Most of this stuff 

 pours in during the busy season, when 

 one has scarcely time to run over the 

 trade papers," he continued, "and loose 

 literature is either shot into the waste 

 basket or laid aside, often too late to 

 be of any use when one, as now, has 

 some leisure time to look it over. De- 

 pend upon it, the oaly effective way to 

 reach the business man today is through 

 the medium of his trade paper." The 

 seed business, taken as a whole, is sat- 

 isfactory, gradually winding up after 

 several rushes and pauses. 



Harry Holmes, of the Holmes-Lether- 

 man Seed Co., Canton, O., is positive 

 that by the variety of garden seeds sold 

 patrons are yearly becoming better 

 posted and that models, as seen in some 

 of the old established houses, will not 

 be necessary to teach the younger gen- 

 eration of gardeners. Following the 

 spring rush, Mr. Holmes took an active 

 part in a Y. M, C. A. drive, with grati- 

 fying results. 



Manager Eotherham, of Wood & Co., 

 East Cleveland, 0., believes that a longer 

 inventory than usual will be required 

 this year and probably more stock will 

 be left on hand, but the average will 

 be satisfactory. W. M.

A meeting will be held at Evansville, 

 Ind., Friday, July 2, of the creditors of 

 W. H. Small & Co., which made an 

 assignment June 14 to the Mercantile

 Johnson, a stockholder of the company 

 and an officer of the Great Lakes Trust 

 Co., of Chicago, said June 29 that he 

 believed the company's assets exceeded

 to which there was real estate to the 

 value of $150,000. This is a more hope- 

 fulview than was at first taken of the 

 situation. 



Lewis E. Steffee, who was formerly 

 treasurer of the company and was ap- 

 pointed trustee, and G. M. Purcell, who 

 was formerly vice-president and gen- 

 eral manager, are still active in the af- 

 fairs of the company, though Mr. Pur- 

 cell has severed his official connection 

 with it and is continuing there now 

 simply for a limited period of time. 



BAINFAU. CT7TS SEED CROPS. 



"We have had anything but a satis- 

 factory season for planting and grow- 

 ing seed crops," state John Bodger & 

 Sons Co., Los Angeles, Cal. "The 

 months of January and February and a 

 part of Mareh were entirely without 



rain, and such crops as are usually 

 planted in the latter part of December 

 to make a good winter growth did not 

 sprout until the latter part of March. 

 Late rains also delayed working the 

 land until the spring was too far ad- 

 vanced for us to plant out our usual 

 large acreage in good season. These 

 conditions will inevitably have a bad 

 effect upon the harvest. 



"The total rainfall for the season 

 varies greatly in different parts of the 

 state and, where we have had a fair 

 amount of rainfall during the spring,
