Alexander P. Dewer, manager of the 

 store of R. & J. Farquhar & Co., Boston, 

 will leave soon with his wife on a trip 

 to England. 



M. C. Main, manager of the Seabriglit 

 Bulb Co., Santa Cruz, Cal., recently re- 

 turned from an extended trip to Hono- 

 lulu and the surrounding islands. 



The retail seedsmen in Chicago com- 

 plained that the counter business slowed 

 up a bit last week. They blamed the 

 cold weather, that seemed to make the 

 people wary about planting. 



The business of D. I. Bushnell & Co., 

 St. Louis, Mo., will be continued by 

 Robert W. Pommer, partner of David I. 

 Bushnell, whose death was reported in 

 last week's issue of The Review. 



Last week burglars secured diamonds 

 worth $1,500 from the home of Wilmot H. 

 Lilly, treasurer of the Cliarles H. Lilly 

 Co., Seattle, Wash. Police search has 

 as yet failed to recover the jeAvels. 



Charles Dickinson, whose interest in 

 aviation sniccceded that in seeds, made 

 the trip from New York to Chicago by 

 air last week, when the first aeroplane in 

 the new commercial air service made its 

 maiden voyage. 



At the meeting of the Western Seeds- 

 men's Association at Omaha, April 30, 

 the following were elected oiBcers: Presi- 

 dent, Fred Mangelsdorf , Atchison, Kan. ; 

 vice-president, Carl Chcsmore, St. Joseph, 

 Mo.; secretary, M. Wilhclmi, Lawrence, 

 Kan. ; treasurer, Henry Windheini, Oma- 

 ha, Neb. 



P. L. Van Baarda, for twenty years 

 with Joseph Breck & Sons, Boston, most 

 of the time as traveling representative, 

 and one of the most esteemed men on the 

 road, has been appointed general sales 

 manager in succession to Henry Brackett, 

 who has retired. Harold E. Leary, for 

 fourteen years with R. & J. Farquhar & 

 Co., succeeds Mr. Van Baarda as travel- 

 ing salesman. 



As a result of the cables, reported in 

 The Review for A])ril 28, announcing the 

 prices for the 1921 crop of Paper Whites 

 and other bulbs at Ollioules, dealers here 

 have been exchanging views Avith the pur- 

 pose of developing something in the 

 nature of the concerted action of the 

 growers. It seems probable that, unless 

 the Hollanders who deal in French bulbs 

 take hold of the crop, there will be little 

 business done with Paper Whites and 

 Soleil d'Or until the jjriccs come down. 

 The Hollanders, having taken some or- 

 ders at open ])rii'es, may buy to fill these 

 orders regardless of their iileas of actual 

 values. 



"Di'TCH bulbs are more reasonable in 

 price than the Frencli bulbs," said R. 

 B. Howe, president of W. W. Barnard 

 Co., Chicago. "And speaking of the 

 French bulbs, there is an important item 

 to be considered. If ordered now at tlie 

 present prices and at the present rate of 

 exchange, the buUis, by the time they are 

 paid for, if the rate of excliange con- 

 tinues going up in the meantime, will be 

 even more costly than they seem now. 

 For instance, suppose that some bulbs 

 are ordered at 150 francs while the ex- 

 change rates are about fourteen francs 

 for a dollar. Then if the exchange rate 

 goes up to, say seven francs for a <lol
