 tary-Treasurer, C. E. Xendel, Cleveland, 0, 



The Harrisii crop has turned out de- 

 cidedly short on the larger sizes. 



Aethue T. Boddington, New York, 

 with his family, is summering in New 

 Hampshire. 



The seed trade is working off its ac- 

 pumulation of parcel post; stamps on the 

 first-class mail. 



The L, L. Patterson Co. has opened a 

 seed store at 304 to 306 West Water 

 street, Syracuse, N. Y. 



B. H. James, St. Georges, Bermuda, 

 widely known as a grower of Harrisii 

 bulbs, is reported critically ill. 



If you are interested in canary seed 

 it may have come to your notice that 

 the war in the Balkans has played hob 

 with the supply. 



E. F. Speaes & Sons, whose ware- 

 house was destroyed by fire July 3, are 

 planning the erection of a concrete build- 

 ing, which will cost in the neighborhood 

 of $50,000. 



Dutch bulbs are as yet coming slowly. 

 In addition to the forty cases reported 

 last week, there arrived on the boat 

 reaching New York July 30 eighteen 

 cases, consigned to Maltus & Ware. 



John F. Summebs, of Malvern, la., has 

 sold the Summers Seed House business to 

 A. E. Hamlin, of Red Oak, who has been 

 engaged in this line for several years and 

 will continue the business as it is now run. 



Habey a. Bunyaed, of New York, 

 secretary of the American Sweet Pea 

 Society and a director of the S. A. F., 

 has been appointed on the advisory com- 

 mittee of the department of horticulture 

 of the Panama-Pacific exposition. 



T. E. Beidges has purchased a half 

 interest in the Ocala Seed Store, at 

 Ocala, Fla., from W. D. Cam and his 

 brother, Robert Bridges, is looking after 

 his interests. W, P. Cam, accompanied 

 by his sons, recently made an automobile 

 -tour of western Florida. 



The modifications of the parcel post 

 regulations apply to seeds, but the rate 

 remains 1 cent for each two ounces, re- 

 gardless of distance. To those whose 

 business largely is within a 150-mile 

 radius the new regulations make it more 

 desirable than ever that seeds, plants and 

 bulbs be included with other merchandise 

 at the zone rates. 



Membees of the horticultural trades in 

 America and elsewhere will greatly re- 

 gret to hear of the death of Robert 

 Sydenham, the widely known English 

 sweet pea specialist, head of the seed 

 firm of Robert s/ienham, Ltd., and pop- 

 ularly known as Uncle Robert. He died 

 of nicotine poisoning July 19. Further 

 particulars will be found in this week's 

 obituary column.
