Eepoets are to the effect that the 

 Wright Realty & Seed Co., of Orlando, 

 Fla., is going out of business. 



Account of the adjustment of claims 

 against the Alexander Seed Co., of Au- 

 gusta, Ga., will be found under the head 

 of Business Embarrassments. 



The following is the official roster of 

 Wood, Stubbs & Co., Inc., Louisville: 

 President, C. F. Wood; vice-president, 

 W. P. Stubbs; secretary and treasurer, 

 C. Z. Strunk. 



The untimely death of Paul Kase, of 

 Hagemann & Co., New York, occasions 

 a feeling of genuine and general sadness 

 in the trade. Mr. Kase was well known 

 among bulb buyers and was liked by all. 



Last year eight Holland biUb salesmen 

 made the tour of the Pacific coast, and 

 this year there were ten. It is said some 

 of them did not get business enough to 

 reimburse them for their carfare. But 

 doubtless next year there will be twelve. 



The firm of E. F. Spears & Sons, 

 Paris, Ky., a member of the American 

 Seed Trade Association, now consists of 

 Woodford Spears and Catesby W. Spears. 

 The business consists althogether of the 

 wholesaling of Kentucky bluegrass seed. 



CONSIDEBABLE interest is being mani- 

 fested in the trials of a variety known 

 as Michigan Hard Red wheat, which was 

 raised bv the S. M. Isbell Co., of Jack- 

 son, Mich. It is of Russian origin and 

 raised with a view to adapting it to the 

 Michigan climate. 



Seedsmen at Oklahoma City, Okla., 

 were interested in the exhibition of the 

 flowers grown by school chDdren from 

 seeds distributed a year ago. The Bar- 

 teldes Seed Co., the Enterprise Seed Co. 

 and the Stiles Co. each decorated a win- 

 dow in the Terminal Arcade, where the 

 show was held. The judges were Charles 

 Stiles, W. O. Churcli and Lon Foster. 



It was the consensus of opinion among 

 the bulb growers present at the meeting 

 of the American Gladiolus Society at 

 Minneapolis last week that the tariflP on 

 gladiolus bulbs %-ineh and up should 

 be $5 per thousand, with bulblets %-inch 

 and under free. A tariff committee was 

 appointed to seek to get these rates in- 

 corporated in the now pending bill. 



DtJRiNG the summer Northrup, King & 

 Co., Minneapolis, have had a crew of 

 forty college boys covering the north and 

 west on the consignment box proposition. 

 In general the business last season was 

 good, but in Missouri, Kansas and 

 Nebraska the prospects for next season 

 have not appeared so promising. Three 

 weeks of inordinately high temperature 

 following continued drought destroyed 

 many a man 's interest in the future.

 to be added to the Hayes seed building, 

 at Topeka, Kan., have been completed, 

 according to Eugene Hayes, manager of 

 the concern. 



Michigan peas are evidently to have 

 a fair year, although beans are not doing 

 so well. "We are having the finest 

 weather for harvesting and threshing 

 peas we have ever experienced," write 

 F. G. Johnson & Co., Harrisville, Mich., 

 "and we shall have the best sample of 

 seed to oflfer the trade we ever had. The 

 recent hot weather has affected the bean 

 crop materially, which lessens our erpec-
