 tary-treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, 0. 



J. P. Degnan has been engaged to take 

 charge of the flower seed department of 

 the American Bulb Co., Chicago. 



W. C. Roberts, superintendent of 

 Brown's Bulb Ranch, Capitola, Cal., was 

 in Chicago last week on his way east. 



Harlow J. Stettner, the son of H. 

 Stettner, of the Crescent Seed Farm, at 

 Spencerport, N. Y., is to enter into part- 

 nership with his father. 



Every day seed orders for the Henry 

 Field Seed Co., Shenandoah, la., lead 

 in number those for the same day in pre- 

 vious years. The week before last over 

 10,000 orders were received. Many de- 

 partments are running almost double 

 last year. It appears that the farmer in 

 the central west is again able to buy seeds 

 in quantity. 



P. V. Kelly, of the Pacific Seed House, 

 Salt Lake City, Utah, has returned from 

 a trip of several weeks through the south 

 and east. He reports that the demand for 

 western seed has been quite good and that 

 stocks are practically cleaned up. He 

 says all western dealers have enjoyed 

 good trade and should be able to show a 

 satisfactory profit on the business done. 



According to present indications, there 

 should be a large crop of Seven Top tur- 

 nip and kale seed in the south this year. 

 The winter has been so favorable that 

 fields are looking exceptionally well. On 

 the other hand, a larger shortage of soy 

 bean and cow pea seed has developed than 

 was expected last fall, which means that 

 heavy shipments of these seeds are be- 

 ing made from the southeast. The seed 

 business is beginning to open up in the 

 south with a good demand, but some 

 stocks are not complete aa yet. Sweet 

 potatoes are especially scarce. 



FRENCH OANDIDUMS. 



One of the French exporters of candi- 

 dum bulbs sent The Review the follow- 

 ing communication, dated January 20, 

 1922: 



"If you are buyers of Lilium candi- 

 dum this season for delivery next sum- 

 mer, we would advise you to send us 

 your order immediately, in order to se- 

 cure the quantity you require, to insure 

 an early dispatch, and to avoid disap- 

 pointment. Owing to the increasing de- 

 mands, the short crop, we expect, will 

 soon be exhausted. It is impossible at 

 present to give any quotations. Pre- 

 liminary prices will be sent as soon as 

 possible and final prices in May or 

 June." 



RED CLOVER SEED CROPS. 



The trend of red clover seed prices 

 from now to the end of the present sell- 

 ing season will depend largely upon 

 factors such as imports, supply and de- 

 mand, and upon whether or not farmers 

 turn to other seeds, such as alsike and 

 sweet clover, according to informatiou
