 President. H. G. Hastings, Atlanta, Ga.; sec- 

 retory-treasurer, C. B. Kendel, Clevelnnd. 0. 



TiiK Hopkins-Hamilton Seed Co., Ltd., 

 of Victoria, B. C, was recently incorpor- 

 ated with $25,000 capitalization. 



Jacque.s Courtine, representing Bre- 

 mond Freres, Ollioules, France, is calling 

 an importers of French bulbs. He was at 

 Chicago last week. 



TiiK mail order seed tr;ide is not devel- 

 o])ing the volume liojjcd for, but the help 

 to handle it is to bo liad this season a 

 good deal cheaper than last year. 



The commission box seed houses ]ia\c 

 put out ratlier more goods than last year 

 and anticipate a good sale. They believe 

 geneial conditions favor home gardening. 



"Instead of having a sur])lus now, wo 

 arc really short and are having to pur- 

 chase sccmIs to fill our orders," states the 

 Leonard Seed Co., Chicago. "Our si)riiig 

 trade has l)een excellent.'' 



TiiK Henry F. Michell Co., Philadel- 

 phia, extended an invitation to Philadel- 

 phians to attend a film exhibition Febru- 

 ary 16, showing the Beeman garden 

 tractor at work. This machine and the 

 Tavlor tractor were displayed. 



SPRING'S HOPE ETERNAL. 



"It is our b(dicf tliat this year v\ill 

 l)c .'1 record-breaker in the wholesale 

 business," said Kaljih B. Howe, of the 

 W. W. Barnard Co., (Chicago, in talking 

 about conditions at this time. He said 

 that Ihiwer seeds tiro making excep- 

 tion.al strii^e.s. 



" L;ist year, you remember, ]>rices 

 went down about twenty-five per cent. 

 Tills season there has not been a great 

 change, but we Iia\'e made additional 

 reductions of about ten per cent on a 

 good many lines. 



"Of course the retail business has not 

 started yet, but when the sjiring ojiens 

 and jilantiiig begins, we are jireparing 

 for .-111 excej)tional spring trade. If tin; 

 wholesale trade at this time is any 

 criterion, the retail trade will also re- 

 sult in a banner vear. " 



A. B. C. ON PACIFIC COAST. 



A. Miller, of the American Bulb Co., 

 Chicago, stiirted February 2U to attend 

 to the nuinerous interests of the Amer- 

 ican Bulb Co. along the Pacific coast. 

 The com]iaiiy's bulb business and large 

 growing interests in this territory have 

 brought about the advisability of their 

 establishing an office in 8an Francisco. 

 This arrangement will enable them to 

 kec]) in constant touch with the trade 

 west of the Bockics, and will bett(M- en- 

 able them to su]>crvise their plantings 

 of Sunset, Rainbow and Purity freesias. 



During the last season the comjiany 

 imported under perinits granted by the 

 government a large quantity of Iris 

 tingitana, which is now being grown 

 on the coast. A number of the new 

 varieties of Gladiolus Colvillei were also 

 imported aii<l are now being grown un- 

 der careful supervision. The freesia 

 acreage of this concern is large, as it is 

 llieir intention to grow in sufficiently 

 large (piantitics to reduce the price. Iris 

 tingitana and freesias are ufiw in full 

 blodiii.
