The firm of Conrad Appel, Darmstadt, 

 Germany, is now held in the fifth genera- 

 tion, having been founded in 1789. Paul 

 Anding, the nephew of the late Ludwig 

 Heyn, is now the sole proprietor. 



A MAN who has hit it right a number of 

 times before says the 1920 seed season 

 will make no new record because wages are 

 too high; he figures the people will not 

 garden earnestly while they have too 

 much money. 



C. F. Saul, of Syracuse, is quoted by 

 the Packer as saying that "the current 

 prices are highly unsatisfactory to seeds- 

 men, who have no alternative but to 

 charge them, notwithstanding it makes 

 for a curtaihnent in the volume of the 

 business. ' ' 



Robert Nicholson, of Dallas, is work- 

 ing on the idea of doing an exclusively 

 wholesale seed business outside his home 

 city. To this end he is advertising in a 

 string of Texas papers urging them to 

 ask their local dealers for Nicholson's 

 Tested Seeds. 



STEVEDORE 8TRTKE LIFTING. 



Movement of Holland bulbs from 

 New York harbor is progressing now 

 and deliveries are expected to be made 

 with acceleration as greater numbers of 

 the striking longshoremen return to 

 work. The radical locals have presented 

 compromise demands, while the con- 

 servative locals voted November 2 to 

 return to work. The influence of the 

 president of the International Long- 

 shoremen's Association, who opposed 

 the locals' strike vote, is being felt, and 

 more men are at the work of unloading 

 the ships in the harbor. It is estimated 

 10,000 men are now on the job. Cases 

 of bulbs are being forwarded; the ques- 

 tion now is the condition of the bulbs 

 when the cases are opened.

In 1917 vegetable seeds to the value 

 of $41,530 were exported to the United 

 States from the Nantes district in 

 France; in 1918 there was an increase in 

 the value of the shipments to $89,620, 

 but during the first seven months of 

 1919 the exports were valued at only 

 $21,640 and the shipping season for 1919 

 is now over. Along the valley of the 

 Loire, from Saumur to Angers, are 

 many establishments devoted to seed 

 growing.
