The Florists^ Review 



May 31, 1917. 



A SEED warehouse -will be erected this 

 summer at Sigourney, la., by August 

 Bruns & Sons. 



In Trenton, N. J., Satterthwaite 's Seed 

 Store recently filled the better part of 

 eight pages in an issue of the Evening 

 Times with advertising of seeds and farm 

 and garden supplies. The advertising 

 appeared in the form of catalogue pages, 

 four on a newspaper page. 



Attorney Eotal r. Clakk, of Ean- 

 dolph, Wis., representing the Wisconsin 

 Pea Packers' Association, announces that 

 the ease brought by the state of Wiscon- 

 sin upon the relation of the Attorney Gen- 

 eral, against the association on the ground 

 that it was in many respects a trust, has 

 been dismissed and judgment has been en- 

 tered in the Circuit court for Dane 

 county, Wisconsin. The evidence showed 

 the members of the association put up 

 eighty per cent of the peas packed in Wis- 

 consin and that Wisconsin pecks thirty- 

 seven per cent of the total output. 



THE JOHN H. ALLAN SEED CO. 



E. M. Parmelee, who is in his sev- 

 enty-seventh year, sold his interests in 

 the John H. Allan Seed Co., Sheboy- 

 gan, Wis., August 8, 1916, believing 

 he had served his time in the seed trade. 

 The business was established in 1856 

 and has gone along steadily for more 

 than sixty years. Incorporation was 

 in 1892. Recently the company has 

 been licensed to do business in certain 

 western states, the growing of peas and 

 beans being its specialty. There has 

 been no change in the corporation. The 

 present owners are T. H. Hopkins, man- 

 ager of the St. Anthony, Idaho, branch; 

 F. C. Maynard and the oflScers: Presi- 

 dent, D, D. Rowlands; vice-president 

 and treasurer, W. B. Lucas; secretary, 

 A. L. Sommer. 



A CANNER'S VIEW. 



The Optimist in its latest number 

 quotes one of the biggest seed concerns 

 in the east as declaring they are selling a 

 hundred per cent more seeds this year 

 than ever before. 



"This apparently forecasts a goodly 

 crop of garden 'sass' in private gar- 

 dens,'^ says the Campbellite. "And if 

 so, it is all to the merry. The country 

 will need all of such help it can get to 

 keep prices off the aeroplane route this 

 year. It is to be hoped that enough 

 men will be left at home to attend to 

 these gardens after they are planted. 



"In the happy event that the war 

 clouds are soon dissipated we predict 

 that a large proportion of these 'gentle- 

 man farmers' will raise an additional 

 crop of blisters and backaches, together 

 with implement costs and other inci- 

 dental expenses, which, before the sea- 

 son is over, will drive them to seek more 

 inspiring and economical diversion. 

 They will in all probability come back 

 eventually to the well-demonstrated 

 modern hypothesis that the can-opener 

 is mightier than the hoe. 



"Moral: Another optimist is the fel- 

 low who believes the pictures on his 

 package of seeds."
