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



New officers of the E. & J. Farquhar 

 Co., Boston, are: President, Alexander 

 P. Dewar; vice-president and secretary, 

 George Cruikshank; treasurer, Victor E. 

 Nelson. 



John Bodger is exjiocted to arrive at 

 New York, with Mrs. Bodf^or, on the 

 steamer Saxonia, April 8. This will he 

 just three days short of a year since he 

 left New York harbor. 



An increased volume of business has 

 necessitated the puttin},^ on of more hel]), 

 both in the office and packing room of 

 Hart & Vick, Rochester, N. Y. It looks 

 as though this firm is in for a bumper 

 season. 



The cooperative jiurchasing of suj)plit's 

 is being advocated in the British trade 

 to enable retail seedsmen to compete witli 

 the Coi'perative Wholesale Society, the 

 low prices of which have caused some 

 encroachment on the seedsmen's trade. 



The national convention of canners, 

 machinery men and merchandise brokers 

 of the United States will be held in Mil- 

 waukee, in January, 1923, as a result of 

 a meeting of representative hotel men of 

 Milwaukee with merchandise brokers and 

 canners of Wisconsin. 



D. G. Fkaser states that he has ac- 

 quired the sole ownership of Robert G. 

 Fraser & Son, Pasadena, Cal., the busi- 

 ness name to be in future Fraser & Son; 

 also that William E. Hayes, formerly on 

 the Vanderbilt estate in the Adirondacks. 

 has been appointed to have charge of the 

 seed growing department. 



Gladiolus bulhs are selling rather un- 

 expectedly well this year. The Classified 

 ads in The Review make the market for 

 the United States. Prices are made in 

 accordance with what others are quoting 

 there. Also, the little liner ads show how 

 business is going. Early in the season 

 there were more of these gladiolus bulb 

 ads than ever before; now there are not 

 so many as last year at this date. 

 "Sold out," of course, is the reason. 



The aggregate demand for field seeds 

 this season is expected to be equal to or 

 slightly greater than last year, although 

 the demand for a few important kinds 

 will be less, according to reports received 

 by the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture. Some of the more important 

 factors affecting the demand are: In- 

 creased acreage of clovers and grasses, 

 shortage of home-grown seed in various 

 sections, substitution of kinds because of 

 relatively lower 'price, the low price of 

 grain during the past year, and depressed 

 financial condition's. 



A BOOKLET just ofT the press, "Perma- 

 nent Pastures for the South Atlantic 

 States," is being distributed by William 

 G. Scarlett & Co., Baltimore, Md. It 

 contains formula; for seed mixtures for 

 pasture planting in the section named. 

 The material contained in it is based on 

 the firm 's own experience, supplemented 

 by extensive correspondence with experi- 

 ment station experts, county agricultural 

 agents and successful farmers throughout 

 the section. This booklet represents an 

 innovation in the seed trade, for, it is 

 believed, this is the first time that an 

 American seed hou.se has given to the pub-
