Berries are lacking on the holly this 

 year and a short supply is expected. 



S. F. Leonard, Chicago, was elected a 

 director of the Wholesale Seedsmen's 

 League, at Detroit, last week. 



The seed trade looks forward to a good 

 season in 1921. It is the almost unani- 

 mous belief that the trade has ahead of 

 it another long period of profitable busi- 

 ness. 



W. W. Barnard left Chicago this week 

 for the Pacific coast, where he will spend 

 the winter. He goes first to San Fran- 

 cisco and will motor from there to Los 

 Angeles. 



Forty-one cases of valley pips ar- 

 rived at New York November 15, on the 

 steamer W. A. Luckenbach, from Ham- 

 burg. They were consigned to Bernard, 

 Judae & Co. 



Account of the death of Charles J. 

 Bolgiano, president of J. Bolgiano & Son, 

 Baltimore, Md., Friday morning, Novem- 

 ber 18, from gas poisoning, appears in the 

 obituary column on another page of this 

 issue. 



C. D. Coventry returned to Chicago 

 November 21 from a western trip on be- 

 half of the W. W. Barnard Co., visiting 

 Denver, Salt Lake City and St. Anthony, 

 Idaho, where he spent some time with 

 John T. Wilcox, formerly a salesman for 

 the W. W. Barnard Co. in southern ter- 

 ritory, who now is a seed grower there. 



VALUE OF THE JAP BULB CROP. 



In 1918 no lily bulbs came from Ja- 

 pan, shipment having been prohibited 

 by the War Trade Board, then in charge 

 of many of our activities. In that year 

 the plants and bulbs sent from Japan 

 to tlie United States had a value of 

 only $6,690. Early in 1919 the prohibi- 

 tion was removed and practically the en- 

 tire Japanese crop of lily bulbs came to 

 the United States last year. United 

 States Consul General George H. Seid- 

 more, at Yokohama, now makes avail- 

 able tlie record of importations to the 

 United States for 1919. The bulbs ex- 

 ported to this country in 1919 had a 

 vahio of $444,449. 



MILWAUKEE SEED CO. FIRE. 



As a result of a disastrous fire Mon- 

 day night, November 15, the Milwaukee 

 Seed Co., Milwaukee, Wis., suffered al- 

 most total loss of its stock and ma- 

 chinery, valued at more than $250,000, 

 according to Edwin L. Rosenberg, presi- 

 dent and treasurer of the firm. This seed 

 company is one of the pioneers in Mil- 

 waukee's seed trade and was founded in 

 1860 by Mr. Rosenberg's father, Louis 

 Rosenberg. It occupied almost the en- 

 tire building at West Water and Cly- 

 bourn streets, where it has been located 

 for more than forty years. The annual 

 volume of business is estimated at some- 

 thing over $5,000,000. The Milwaukee 

 Seed Co., besides a large export trade, 

 particularly with Great Britain, does the 

 largest business in Wisconsin-grown clo- 

 vers. The vice-president is John C. Law- 

 rence.
