Articles of incorporation of the 

 Morisse Seed & Nursery Co., of Tacoma, 

 Wash., have been filed by Carl F. Morisse, 

 W. L. Nasmyth and H. E. Thompson. 



Lestee L. Morse, who is vice-presi- 

 dent of the California Association of 

 Nurserymen, will be at Fresno October 

 16 to respond for the association to the 

 mayor 's address of welcome to the an- 

 nual convention. 



H. Frank Darrow states that Alfred 

 Emerich, representing Vilmorin, An- 

 drieux & Co., of Paris, arrived in New 

 York October 1 and will pay his usual 

 visit to the seed trade throughout the 

 United States and Canada. 



W. A. Davis, seed pea grower in the 

 Gallatin and now head of the W. A. 

 Davis Seed Co., of Bozeman, returned 

 to Montana September 26 from points in 

 Michigan, where he had been spending 

 several weeks on business. 



Nebraska sugar corns will not be so 

 poor a crop as the general report on 

 western corn crops would indicate. The 

 sweet corn for seed is mostly in eastern 

 Nebraska, and in that end of the state 

 the crops are much better than the aver- 

 age for the whole state. 



Schedules in the assignment of Wm. 

 Hagemann & Co., Inc., New York, im- 

 porters of bulbs and plants, at 30 Church 

 street, show liabilities $21,852 direct and 

 $4,826 contingent; nominal assets $19,- 

 200 and sctual assets $6,803. Paul Kase, 

 the president, committed suicide August 

 19. 



The duty on hyacinth bulbs now is five 

 times as high as it was last week, back 

 where it was before the decision against 

 the government in the Breck case. It 

 adds $2 per thousand to the cost of late 

 arrival bulbs and wUl necessitate a cor- 

 responding advance in trade and retail 

 prices. 



Under existing conditions it does not 

 appear that American seed growers will 

 be under any necessity of reducing prices 

 because of the reductions of duty in the 

 new tariff law, but, rather, that the 

 European exporters will easily be able to 

 advance their rates to the extent of the 

 tariff reductions. 



An order to examine the books and 

 papers of the United States Seed Co., 

 of Fredonia, N. Y., has been obtained 

 by Dr. Chauncey M. Rathbun, of El Paso, 

 Tex., who started the concern as a co- 

 partnership with Frank M. Roesch, pres- 

 ent manager of the company. Dr. Rath- 

 bun alleges that a block of his stock has 

 been kept from him and that he has not 

 received his share of the profits. 



Among recent deaths in the seed trade 

 in Great Britain was that of W. Bull, 

 eldest son of the founder of the firm 

 of WUliam Bull & Sons, London; he re- 

 tired from the business four years ago, 

 on account of ill health. The obituary 

 list also includes Hugh Hannan, a seed 

 merchant of Edinburgh, of imposing 

 presence and cheery manner, with a rep- 

 utation for choice strains of seeds; also 

 William Green, head of the firm of 

 William Green & Sons, nurserymen and 

 seedsmen, Leeds, England, founded there 

 over a century ago. Mr. Green was
