Canna roots have become practically 

 sold up. 



Many Holland bulb salesmen sail for 

 home April 23, on the Ryndam. 



Japan is becoming a contender for the 

 flower seed business of the world. The 

 harvest season there is September te 

 November. 



The death of Augustus H. Goodwin, 

 vice-president of the W. W. Barnard Co., 

 Chicago, is reported in this week's obitu- 

 ary column. 



The safe in the store of the J. Charles 

 McCuUough Seed Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, 

 was blown open on the night of April 

 7. About $200 was taken. The robbers 

 used some heavy seed sacks to deaden the 

 sound of the explosion when they blew 

 open the combination. 



Hotel Statler will be the headquar- 

 ters and meeting place of the convention 

 of the American Seed Trade Association 

 and the Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' 

 Association at St. Louis, June 22 to 24. 

 The north banquet hall wUl be provided 

 for exhibits, at a rental of $30. 



The Chicago fire department was called 

 out in a hurry April 15. The alarm came 

 over the telephony and was given thus: 

 ' ' There are 1,500 lives imperiled by fire. ' ' 

 "When the apparatus arrived at the store 

 of the W. W. Barnard Co., it was found 

 that there were 1,500 incubator chicks in 

 the region where more smoke than fire 

 ■was seen. The damage was slight, about 

 $30, and a few of the chicks were sufiEo- 

 eated. 



The E. W. Burbank Seed Co., which 

 was purchased two years ago by William 

 Johnson and moved from Fryeburg, Me., 

 to Portland, is establishing a retail store, 

 to be run in connection with its wholesale 

 business. L. C. Sterling, who was con- 

 nected with Kendall & Whitney until he 

 left to join the firm of Allen, Sterling & 

 Lothrop, has taken an interest in the Bur- 

 bank Seed Co. and will manage the new 

 retail store. 



WABNING FOLLOWS PEA LOSS. 



Growers buying seed peas for this 

 year's planting are being advised by 

 the Department of Agriculture to go 

 directly to seed growers wherever pos- 

 sible or to buy their seed of dealers of 

 known responsibility. The rag-doll 

 germinator test, which promises to be- 

 come universal in the testing of seed 

 corn for diseases and reproductive 

 ability, can also be used to test the 

 germinating qualities of peas and 

 beans, but beyond that the purity of 

 the variety is of first importance. 



Canners in Maryland and Delaware 

 learned this to their cost last year, say 

 department officials, as about 1,700 

 acres, thirty per cent of the total pea 

 crop for canneries, was planted with 

 seed that proved to be spurious. The 

 department has recently conducted an 

 investigation of the substitution. The 

 Alaska variety is generally used for 

 canneries in these states. The Alaska 

 grows a vine about thirty inches high, 

 with pods beginning to form at the 

 sixth or eighth joint, giving early de- 

 velopment and a uniform time for ma-
