Report of the bankruptcy of the Mc- 

 Vay Sfeed Co., of Birmingham, Ala., will 

 be found in this week's issue under the 

 head of Business Embarrassments. 



The man who is after the southern 

 trade is crowding the printers these days, 

 for the catalogues for the cotton states 

 must be in the mails within a fortnight 

 or 80. 



It is said 5,000,000 gladiolus bulbs 

 were lost in the fire that destroyed the 

 storage house of B. Hammond Tracy, 

 Wenham, Mass., reported in The Review 

 of November 26. 



Sutton & Sons, Reading, ;, England, 

 have equipped a rifle range on their 

 trial grounds and 212 of their employees 

 are practicing marksmanship. Seventy 

 others already have joined the colors. 



The war in Europe is helping rather 

 than hurting the seed business of the 

 Rocky Ford, Colo., concerns. Five tons 

 of cucumber seed were shipped to Hol- 

 land in one week recently, and orders 

 are steady. 



Seed growers in the south of France 

 appear to be not at all alarmed over the 

 question of labor for the 1915 crops, but 

 fear that a surplus of 1914 crops will 

 discourage the cultivation of the usual 

 acreage next year. 



It appears there has been a trend to- 

 ward catalogue economy this season. 

 Mailing lists have been checked up and 

 pruned and in many cases the size of the 

 books as well as the size of the editions 

 is being cut down. It is the elimination 

 of waste, nothing more. 



The big seed houses have carried a two 

 years' supply of such seeds as do not de- 

 teriorate, for several reasons, and were 

 leas alarmed regarding 1915 than about 

 1916 supplies when the European war 

 broke out. It now appears that the "no 

 trading with the enemy" regulations of 

 the several seed producing nations will 

 make it possible for American houses to 

 procure of the 1914 crops all the seeds 

 that will be required for 1916. 



The arrival of the trade's standard 

 catalogues is awaited with more than 

 usual interest this year, because of the 

 many new factors in the situation. Some 

 houses that have issued books just over 

 eight ounces in weight are cutting down 

 to get inside the flat rate limit, while 

 others, not feeling able to reduce, are 

 taking advantage of the right to mail 

 sixteen ounces as cheaply as ten or twelve. 

 Also the contents of the books will be of 

 unusual interest, because of the influence 

 of the parcel post, the European war, 

 the bad bean crop, the recent business 

 depression and other factors.
