The Rorists^ Review 



OCTOBBB 28, 1018. 



Alto, will make headquarters at Gilroy 

 after November 1. 



Visited Chicago: Joseph Schilder, of 

 Schilder Bros., Chillicothe, O. 



At the October meeting of the di- 

 rectors of the Wholesale Seedsmen's 

 League resolutions were adopted on the 

 death of Wm. Henry Maule, although 

 that gentleman was not a member of the 

 league. 



Among the cargo that was lost when 

 the steamer Volturno took fire in mid- 

 ocean and sank were a consignment of 

 twelve cases of Dutch bulbs for K. F. 

 Lang and one of forty-eight bags of 

 peas for Travis & Parks. 



Lester L. Morse, president and man- 

 ager of C. C. Morse & Co., San Fran- 

 cisco, by invitation responded to the ad- 

 dress of welcome by the mayor at the 

 Fresno meeting of the California Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen, October 16. John 

 Valhance, manager of the Morse nursery, 

 is the vice-president of the association, 

 not Mr. Morse himself, as has been re- 

 ported. 



LOECHNER & Co. state that Hjalmar 

 Hartmann & Co., Copenhagen, advise 

 them all the crops of the Danish special- 

 ties, such as cabbage, cauliflower, sprouts, 

 carrots, garden beets and turnips, as 

 well as parsley, radish, spinach, turnips 

 and mangels and carrots for cattle feed- 

 ing, are splendid. The plants had favor- 

 able weather during the entire season, 

 particularly during the month of Sep- 

 tember, which was the finest for many 

 years. The seeds had ample time for 

 their development, are well ripened and 

 look healthy and plump. 



SEEDSMEN DELUGE COMMISSION. 



The Washington correspondent of 

 The Review wired October 20, as fol- 

 lows: "Seedsmen all over the coun- 

 try today flooded the Interstate Com- 

 merce Commission with protests against 

 putting books, circulars and catalogues 

 under the parcel post, asserting that 

 it will increase the postage on seed 

 catalogues to a prohibitive extent. 

 Today was the last day for filing peti- 

 tions and the commission will go over 

 the case, with the prospect of an early 

 decision. The commission officials said 

 the seedsmen were unduly aroused, as 

 the proposed parcel post rate on cata- 

 logues would only affect catalogues 

 weighing over eight ounces. It was said 

 that a majority of seed catalogues are 

 under eight ounces and will not be 

 affected by the proposed inclusion in 

 the parcel post. One seedsman wrote 

 saying he would be subjected to in- 

 creased rates, but most of the cata- 

 logues he cited were under eight 

 ounces. ' ' 



The danger that confronts the seed 

 trade was first brought to the atten- 

 tion of a majority of the catalogue 

 houses by the announcement in The 

 Review of October 16 that it is pro- 

 posed to put books and printed matter 

 into the parcel post. The information 

 was there given that the Interstate 

 Commerce Commission would receive 

 communications on the subject up to 

 October 20 before undertaking to pass 

 on the proposition under the law. That 

 the correspondent should report the 

 commission "deluged" with protests 

 shows how vital the trade considers 

 the matter as well as how universally 

 The Beview is read by seedsmen.
