sharing in the prosperity, although the 

 leaders seem to be garden seeds, clover 

 seed and the new clover, Hubam, there 

 being thirty-nine orders for Hubam in 

 fair-sized amounts in the day's business. 



"Seed corn is doing surprisingly well, 

 showing thirty-three orders for the day, 

 which is pretty nearly a record for so 

 early. 



"The gain in business over last year 

 seems to be increasing as the season ad- 

 vances and if it holds at double last 

 year, as now seems likely, it is going to 

 mean mighty busy times in Shenandoah 

 for everyone this spring, for when the 

 seed houses and nurseries prosper we all 

 get a share of it. ' ' 



To which Henry Field adds, "Not 

 back to normalcy, but coming." 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



"The seed trade should be represented 

 at the coming flower show," observed 

 E. C. Kendel, Cleveland, O. "We have 

 a strong organization and are really the 

 backbone of the florists' industry, al- 

 though not usually so regarded. This is 

 a fine opportunity to exhibit ourselves. ' ' 



J. C. Younghaus, manager of the Bot- 

 zum Seed Co., Cleveland, O., is also in 

 favor of helping along the show. For 

 many years he was associated with 

 J. M. McCullough Sons Co., of Cincin- 

 nati. Mr. Younghaus has become at- 

 tached to the new surroundings. 



Johnson's Seed Store, Cleveland, is 

 a hive of industry, with father and son 

 at the helm and full of optimism as to 

 the future. 



F. F. Banner, of E. C. Eaton, Center 

 Market, Newark, N. J., commenting on 

 the future of the vegetable industry, 

 opines that by advising planters to 

 grow late crops, he will not only help 

 reduce the winter shortage, but he will 

 lessen the disappointment resultant 

 from the spring frosts. 



Tlie J. J. Wilson Seed Co., Newark, 

 N. J., notices an early response to its 

 catalogue, issued earlier than usual. 

 Tlie firm believes that it is to be a good 

 year for the seedsmen. 



The Alexander Forbes Seed Co., New- 

 ark, N. J., consisting of the senior and 

 two sons, active heads of what has be- 

 come a metropolitan seed center, is full 

 of optimism regarding the coming sea- 

 son, botli for grower and consumer. 



F. P. Cassel 's Son, Lansdale, Pa., suc- 

 ceeds to the title of F. P. Cassel & Son. 

 S. ir. Cassel, the son, succeeds the 

 founder, F. P. Cassel, who has built up 

 a successful seed and poultry business 

 and retires with honors. D. II. Cassel, 

 commenting upon tlie addition of a full 

 line of paints, observed, "This will tide 

 over the dull period. The hardware 

 houses successfully handle seeds. Why 

 should not we do so with a similar linef 

 We are grateful for the really good sea- 

 son just passed and anticipate a busy 

 spring. " 



William C. Ilird, advertising manager 

 of I. N. Simon & Son, Philadcljihia, com- 

 menting upon the necessity for adver- 

 tising, stated that a steadily increasing 

 trade with South America was one re- 

 sult. 



The Theilmann Seed Store, Erie, Pa., 

 is thoroughly renovated and stocked for 

 the seed season. This is something the 

 average seedsman dreads — a really good 

 clean-up, but it pays. 



William Sullivan, manager of the 

 Queen City Seed Store, Buffalo, N. Y., 

 comments upon a shortage, owing to tfie 

 clean-up last season, the best in the 



Windmill Talks 

 on Bulbs 



-|J;«-""i^'"""tl1!! 



Over here, being called a "squirrel" means 



you are a "nut." 



Being called a "rat," over in Holland's bulb 



section, means that you are a bit of a miser — a 



hoarder. 



The name comes from the fact that unless the 



fields are continually watched, and surrounded 



with fine meshed wire, that runs deep into 



the ground, the rats will dig in from the canal 



banks, and burrowing in the fields, carry the 



bulbs to their underground storehouses, and 



hoard them. 



It is no uncommon thing to follow a burrow 



to its end, and find a bushel of bulbs all nicely 



hidden away. 



To be truthful, we are "squirrels" ourselves. 

 That is to say, we are "regular nuts" on 

 growing our Bulbs so they will always be 

 uniformly satisfactory. 



We sell you Tegelaar Bulbs, but you get 

 satisfaction as well. 

 Order early and make sure.
