N. J. Groot, representing Sluis & 

 Groot, of Enkhuizen, Holland, is visiting 

 the Pacific coast. 



Visited Ohicago: Lester L. Morse 

 and Frank G. Cuthbertson, returning to 

 San Francisco after an eastern trip. 



The S. a. Rogers Co., Newark, N. J., 

 reports that its volume of seed trade this 

 spring is the greatest the company has 

 had since the business was organized. 



From all reports the mail-order busi- 

 ness flattened out earlier, more suddenly 

 and flatter than usual and the season will 

 go on record as one of many disappoint- 

 ments. 



P. Vos & Son, Holland bulb growers, 

 who located at Mt. Clemens, Mich., after 

 the quarantine stopped the exporting of 

 gladiolus bulbs to America, have re- 

 moved to Grand Rapids, Mich. 



The trade gossips are engaging them- 

 selves with the question of the ability of 

 this, that and the other seedsman to make 

 July 1 payments. But the fact seems to 

 be most seedsmen now pay as they go, 

 with the help of the banks. 



Half a hundred friends of John Cliarles 

 Vauglian, septuagenarian that day, 

 gathered at Homewood Lodge AprU 24, 

 to assist the veteran Chicago seedsman 

 fittingly to celebrate the anniversary. 

 Mr. Vaugban has been in the seed busi- 

 ness since 1876. 



The commission box houses seem to 

 be getting the best end of the seed busi- 

 ness this season, especially those which 

 put out nickel packets again this year. 

 Most of them put out more boxes than 

 heretofore and are getting a good volume 

 of fill-in orders. 



According to reports from the coast, 

 seed growers who have made eastern 

 trips are returning home in more or less 

 discouragement. They report having 

 found their customers approaching the 

 end of another unprofitable season, with 

 considerable quantities of seeds on hand 

 and no desire to add at present to their 

 commitments. 



Wilson 's Seed Store, Columbus, Ohio, 

 will move about May 27 from its present 

 location, at 116 South High street, to a 

 3 -story brick building on the southeast 

 corner of Pearl and Town streets. The 

 building is to be completely remodeled 

 and will have a modern store front. The 

 property was recently leased for a 99- 

 ycar term at a price that will ultimately 

 amount to $2,500 a front foot. This estab- 

 lishes a record price for frontage on the 

 street where the building is located. 



FRENCH SYNDICATE SETS PRICES. 



The syndicate of bulb growers in the 

 Ollioules district held a meeting April 

 23 to discuss prices for the 1921 crop 

 of Paper Whites and Romans. Immedi- 

 ately thereafter the cable to America be- 

 came freighted with the first quotations 

 the trade has had for this season. 



Large and responsible dealers at Ol- 

 lioules cabled that the best offer they can 

 make is 170 francs for Paper Whites of 

 the 13 to 15-centimeter size and 195 

 francs for 14-centimeter and up. For 

 Soleil d'Or the unheard-of price of 550 

 francs is quoted. Romans are 450 francs.
