 uary page of this issue. 



, Notice of the death of Walter D. Ross, 

 president and treasurer of the seed firm 

 of Ross Bros., Inc., Worcester, Mass., 

 which occurred January 9, is given in the

Preparations for the annual poultry 

 show, to be held January 24 to 29, en- 

 gage the efforts of the store force of the 

 W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago. Roger 

 Howe is supervising arrangements. 



The season has opened up well in the 

 south. Prospects are bright, according 

 to Joseph Steckler, president of the J. 

 Steckler Seed Co., New Orleans, La., al- 

 though the cold, wet weather experienced 

 there lately has caused an unsatisfac- 

 tory week or so. 



Orders for field seeds are coming in

 lead D. I. Bushnell & Co., St. Louis, to 

 anticipate a good business this coming 

 spring, with prospects of profits instead

 decline in seed prices. 



In comparison with size of circulation 

 obtained and service rendered, the ad- 

 vertising charges of The Review are low,

 large number of customers catered to. 

 Few mediums, if indeed any other, serve

J. S. Brown, proprietor of Brown's 

 Bulb Ranch, Capitola, Cal., stopped in 

 Chicago between trains January 17 on 

 his way home. After arriving at New 

 York on the Olympia December 29, Mr. 

 Brown and Mrs. Brown took their jour- 

 ney westward in laps, stopping at several 

 cities en route. Mr. Brown, whose pur- 

 pose abroad was to sell California-grown 

 sweet pea seed, was successful in his er- 

 rand and reports that conditions in the 

 European seed trade show decided im- 

 provement of late. 



"Business comes slow, but it is com- 

 ing," is the statement of C. C. Massie, 

 president of Northup, King & Co., Minne- 

 apolis, Minn., presaging better times for 

 the seed trade. He paints the picture 

 thus: "We have been walking continu- 

 ously through the shadows in 1921. We 

 are still walking through the shadows, and 

 they are, at the moment, pretty dark, 

 though I think I see brighter patches 

 ahead, and much that has been taking
