The excess profits taxes for 1920 will 

 not worry many seedsmen. 



The pricing of wholesale lists is prov- 

 ing a problem for seedsmen this season. 



J. K. RUGOWSKI, of Manitowoc, Wis., 

 risited Chicago last week, on his way 

 home from a trip to Des Moines, la., in 

 behalf of his aster seed. 



M. H. DuRYEA, of New York and Chi- 

 cago, says he believes the seed trade 

 baa turned the comer and that btisiness 

 again is on the up grade. 



Catalogues are later this season than 

 usual, partly because of holding off in 

 the hope printing costs would fall and 

 partly because of doubt as to where to 

 put prices. 



The steamer Stadsdyk, from Rotter- 

 dam, reached New York January 3, 

 bringing 302 cases and bags of flower 

 and vegetable seeds, consigned to for- 

 warding agents. 



Some of the Holland bulb houses 

 which do liot sell to the trade in Amer- 

 ica are seeking mailing lists with the 

 evident purpose of soliciting mail orders 

 from the public. 



Peter Hollenback is one of the old 

 school of seedsmen, and proud of it; it 

 is his boast he never has advertised, 

 though many times he has talked of it. 

 He has a telephone. 



Farwell p. Lillet, vice-president of 

 the Charles H. Lilley Co., SeatSe, Wash., 

 is on an eastern tour to introduce a new- 

 insecticide named Maggotbate. He was 

 at Chicago January 10. 



Congressional seed distribution this 

 year included the sending out of 325,000 

 tulip, narcissus and hyacinth bulbs grown 

 in America. These bulbs are of the 

 same varieties as those grown in Hol- 

 land. 



, Havi.nc sold his interest in the North 

 Alabama Seed Co., which he organized at 

 Florence, Ala., about a year ago, D. P. 

 Durban has gone to Nashville, Tenii.. 

 where he has accepted a jiositimi witli 

 the Hudmon Seed Co. 



The Japanese steamer, Genoa Maru, 

 arrived at New York from Yokohama 

 January 3, bringing fiftv-eight eases of 

 lily bulbs for Ralph M. Ward & Co. 

 and 384 cases of bulbs and three cases 

 of seeds for Henry & Lee. 



In the ranks of the invading army of 

 Holland bulb salesmen are several who 

 campaigned in Russia until conditions 

 became impossible. Russia formerly was 

 one of Holland's best bulb customers, 

 but has not paid for 1916 purchases and 

 has not ordered since. Holland export- 

 ers have had no mail from Russia in 

 four years. 



The 1921 seed catalogues are easting 

 a pretty penny. The paper used, in most 

 cases, was bought at the top of the mar- 

 ket and all printing costs, from cuts and 

 composition to presswork and binding, 

 are higher than ever before: As a means 

 of meeting the increased cost, most houses 

 have condensed their books, used lighter 

 paper, used old plates and reduced the
