John Charles Vaughan, Chicago, was 

 born April 24, 1851. 



The firm of James Vick's Sons, Ro- 

 chester, N. Y., now 73 years old, is al- 

 ready preparing to celebrate its seventy- 

 fifth anniversary. 



The Rhode Island Seed Co., Providence, 

 R. I., has opened a new store, at 85 to 87 

 Fountain street. A full line of garden 

 and flower seeds will be carried. 



Notice has been given creditors of the 

 bankruptcy of Sam Guerrara, 528 St. 

 Phillips street. New Orleans, La. He sold 

 seeds principally to the local truck farm- 

 ers. 



As the result of the hearing obtained 

 by New York state seedsmen before Gov- 

 ernor Miller, April 14, Senator Ferris 's 

 seed bill, No. 751, was vetoed by the 

 governor, according to Marshall H. 

 Duryea, New York state correspondent of 

 the American Seed Trade Association. 



James Lamb, who represented Cooper, 

 Taber & Co., London, England, in this 

 country last year, died in hospital, March 

 18, from tuberculosis of the throat. Their

When seed of a new variety of any 

 crop is offered to the public, information 

 regarding its origin, method of develop- 

 ing, tests made and results obtained, its

 sideration in passing judgment on its 

 true value, remarks the weekly issued by

Instead of having two or three weeks 

 of rush season, the Henry Field Co., 

 Shenandoah, la,, reports having now had 

 six solid weeks of working to extreme 

 capacity, day and night. * * Our big Mon- 

 day so far," says President Henry Field, 

 ' ' has been 6,153 orders, but we have had 

 six other Mondays almost as big, and 

 they are still coming strong. For instance, 

 last Monday we received 4,040 mail orders, 

 exclusive of wholesale and counter sales, 

 as against 2,155 the same Monday in 1921,

 in 1918. This tells the whole story. 

 Field seeds are running comparatively 

 light, but in spite of that, the average 

 size of the order is large, on account of 

 heavy business in garden seeds and small 

 nursery. ' '
