A CONFERENCE was held at Chicago 

 last week to form a national organization 

 of bean growers of all kinds. 



Bulbs are cleaning up rapidly; there 

 seems little reason for the nervousness 

 which has been noted, particularly in 

 the east. 



Fred Barteldes, of the Barteldes Seed 

 Co., Lawrence, Kan., celebrated his 

 sixty-eighth birthday anniversary Octo- 

 ber 28. He was born in 1852. 



William Elliott & Sons, New York, 

 who have been in process of voluntary 

 liquidation, have paid a final dividend 

 to creditors, of five and one-half per 

 cent. 



A. C. ZvoLANEK, of Lompoc, Cal., who 

 has been in eastern Europe since May, 

 with headquarters at Prague, Czecho- 

 slovakia, sailed from Southampton on 

 the Mauretania October 16. He reached 

 New York last week and is on his way 

 across the United States. 



J. V. Odil, who was given charge of the 

 advertising department of the Everette 

 R. Peacock Co. when A. Setterberg 

 severed his connection with that con- 

 cern, has been seriously ill with pneu- 

 monia in a Chicago hospital but is con- 

 valescing. Mr. Odil is widely known in 

 the seed trade because of the years 

 spent on the road for the Peacock in- 

 terests. 



Paper for 1921 seed catalogues will not 

 be affected by falling markets. Orders 

 placed months ago subject to market 

 prices at time of delivery are being 

 filled at the highest prices ever known, 

 as the mills have uncanceled orders 

 enough to keep them running until the 

 new year. The printing trades are ex- 

 tremely dull almost everywhere, but 

 costs have not yet begun to fall. 



Paul Larsen, who has been a member 

 of the firm of Loewith, Larsen & Co., 

 New York city, since 1911, has with- 

 drawn, owing to poor health. Mr. Larsen 

 is returning to Vienna, where he intends 

 to remain for the rest of his life. J. Loe- 

 with, organizer of this firm, with twenty- 

 five years' experience in the seed line, 

 both American and European, is now sole 

 owner and will c^rry on the business un- 

 der the old name of Loewith, Larsen & 

 Co. 



K. Klyn, formerly a.ssociated with 

 Peter Westerbeek, of)erating as Wester- 

 beek & Klyn, arrived at New York on 

 the Nieuw Amsterdam October 13. Mr. 

 Klyn is the vice-president of a newly 

 formed company consisting of bulb 

 growers, styled and registered as the 

 United Bulb Growers, Inc., which will 

 deal with the American trade direct, in- 

 stead of using the medium of any export 

 company. Mr. Klyn severed his connec- 

 tions with the General Bulb Co. to su- 

 pervise the new enterprise.
