An international seed testing congress, 

 directed towards devising methods for 

 the control and testing of seeds, has been 

 lately in session at Copenhagen, Den- 

 mark. Among the delegates were Direc- 

 tor Bruijning, of Holland; Sir Lawrence 

 Weaver, of the British ministry of agri- 

 culture; C. B. Saunders, of London; Dr. 

 W. Johnnsen, of Copenhagen, and K. 

 Dorph Peterson, director of the Danish 

 seed testing station. 



OLD BOSTON HOUSE PASSES. 



Carter's Tested Seeds, Inc., which has 

 for some years had its headquarters at 

 106 Chamber of Commerce building, 

 Boston, has moved and is settled at 19 

 South Market street, having bought 

 out the old established Hovey Seed Co. 

 The new location is much more con- 

 venient and will bring Carter's close to 

 the other leading seed houses, includ- 

 ing R. & J. Farquhar Co., Thomas J. 

 Grey Co., Joseph Breck & Sons, Inc., and 

 the Fottler-Fiske-Rawson Co. The new 

 quarters are being completely over- 

 hauled and made up-to-date in every re- 

 spect. 



The Hovey Seed Co., which passed 

 out of existence July 1, was started in 

 1834 by George Charles Mason Hovey. 

 His brother, Phineas P. Hovey, ac- 

 quired the business in 188.3. Later, he 

 in turn sold out to John H. Hovey and 

 W. W. Simon. The latter took over the 

 business in 1889 and held it until his 

 death in 1918. His wife carried on the 

 store until 1919, when she disposed of 

 it to Frank E. Cheney, who in turn sold 

 out to Carter's Tested Seeds, Inc. The
