 bulbs under special permit, as provided

Some of the seedsmen who do not aim 

 to close up their spring catalogues until 

 the new year now find their plans up- 

 set by a strike of engravers, national 

 in extent, who wish to keep the price of 

 halftones on the war level.

Word comes from Ollioules that Jacques 

 Courtine, agent and traveling salesman 

 since 1915 for A. & L. Bremond Freres,

The affairs of the firm of J. Bolgiano 

 & Son, Baltimore, Md., have been taken 

 over by a corporation formed under the 

 name of the J. Bolgiano Seed Co., com- 

 posed of the creditors of the defunct firm 

 of J. Bolgiano & Son, who purchased the 

 assets of the bankrupt estate for $280,000. 

 All the creditors were invited to take 

 stock in this corporation to the full 

 amount of their claims. Those wlio did 

 not accept stock were paid in cash. It 

 was hoped that this cash payment would 

 be forty per cent, but this was contin- 

 gent upon the li;ibilitics of the defunct 

 firm not exceeding $700,000. It developed 

 that the claims filed against the estate 

 were in excess of this amount by approxi- 

 mately $21,000, and this, of course, re- 

 duced the cash dividend. All the com- 

 mon stock is lodged with the voting trust 

 committee, composed of the presidents of 

 the banks that suffered by reason of the 

 bankruptcy. The officers of the new cor- 

 poration are: President, John M. Dennis, 

 president Union Trust Co., of Baltimore; 

 vice jiresident, Wm. Ingle, president Bal- 

 timore Trust Co.; treasurer, Wm. II.
