The American Bulb Co., Chicago, is 

 expanding its flower seed department, the 

 intention being to specialize in florists' 

 stocks. An 8-page wholesale list, printed 

 by McFarland, has ,iust been issued. 



A CONFERENCE will 1)0 held at Washing- 

 ton, D. C, March 15, to consider the 

 advisability of making additions to or 

 eliminating items from the list of stocks 

 and plants which are allowed entry under 

 regulation 3 of quarantine 37. 



J. K. KuGOWSKi, sole owner of the 

 J. K. Rugowski Seed Co., Manitowoc, 

 Wis., since having bought out his partner 

 a few months ago, was in Chicago last 

 week. His spring catalogue of his aster 

 specialties is now out and ho looks for a 

 good sale of his giant strains. 



Business in the soutli is opening up 

 in such fashion as to make the seeds- 

 men of that section feel optimistic. T. 

 W. Wood & Sons, Richmond, Va., are 

 looking for a reversal of the form of 

 1921. Now that the southern farmers are 

 abandoning cotton for truck cro))s to a 

 larger extent than licretoforo, an added 

 demand for seeds is felt. 



Tkansfekkino his interest to his sou 

 .ind his son-in-law, Charles H. Brock has 

 resigned as ))residcnt and director of tlie 

 Joseph Breck & Sons Corjioration, Boston, 

 Mass. His son, Luther A. Breck, becomes 

 president and his son-in-law, John Ben- 

 bow, becomes vice-president. These two 

 m.nrk the advent of the fourth genera- 

 tion in the business, wiiicli has been con 

 tinued uninterruptedly by this family 

 since the firm was founded in 1822. 

 Joseph ¥. Breck, the brother of Charles 

 IT. Breck, continues as treasurer. 



STOCK FOR WING CREDITORS. 



\Vliil<> the inventory, made by throe 

 appdinlcd aiii)raisers, of the assets of 

 the Wing Seed Co., .Mochanicsbtirg, O., 

 <am(iunts to .$44;i,r)()2.2r> and shows them 

 greatly in excess of liabilities, it appears 

 necessary to get tlie jirojierty out of tlie 

 recoi\"tM-'s liaiuls in order to sell the 

 bulbs wliicli form so large a part of tlie 

 company's assets. 



Seven large secured creditors have 

 agreed to renew notes until January 10, 

 1924, provided ujiseeured creditors will 

 accept jirior jireforonct' six per cent 

 cumiilat i\t> jjreforreil stock to be issue<l

 provided, shall be issued only to cover 

 the unsocuri'd iiulelitodness of the coiii- 

 pany and sliall be retired at par, with all 

 accrued dividends, before any dividiiuls 

 can be jiaid on the f^rescnt outstanding 

 preferred or common shares of tJie com- 

 pany. The ]iroferred creditors are to 

 h.'ive the right to nominate two directors 

 of tlie Wing Seed Co. and the unsecured 

 creditors two directors out of the com- 

 pany's seven, imtil the )>ro]iose(l stock
