The seedsmen of the south are confi- 

 dent this vill be an excellent season for 

 them because of the demand for seeds 

 for crop diversification. 



No seedsman ever lost money by push- 

 ing his sales in the early part of the 

 season. March always brings as much 

 business as can be handled. 



The seedsmen who specialize in tomato 

 seeds will gather at Wilmington, Del., 

 January 28, for the meeting of the Tri- 

 State Packers ' Association. 



The seedsman whose catalogue has its 

 principal distribution locally is not 

 hurrying the book — it is all-right to have 

 it ready when the snows begin to melt. 



"We have not advanced our prices on 

 account of -the war," in many seed cata- 

 logues, is almost too true. Except for 

 beans, the prices average lower than for 

 several years. 



The seed trade will find much of in- 

 terest imder the heading "Notes From 

 Foreign Lands," which have been ap- 

 pearing almost weekly in this paper since 

 the outbreak of war. 



Several of the catalogues that last 

 year went just over the even ounces have 

 this season been kept a penny's postage 

 weight lighter by the simple device of 

 using slightly lighter paper. 



This is the twenty-fifth anniversary 

 year for Henry F. Michell Co., Phila- 

 delphia, and both the general and whole- 

 sale catalogues carry two pages of his- 

 tory of the house, written by George C. 

 Watson, 



The McVay Seed Co., of Birmingham, 

 Ala., whose petition in bankruptcy wag 

 reported under the head of Business Em- 

 barrassments in the December 10 issue 

 of The Keview, will be sold out at public 

 auction January 11, 



Andrew Ostberg, the head of the A. 

 Ostberg Seed Co,, Chicago, was found 

 dead in Eiverside park, Minneapolis, De- 

 cember 29, He had hanged himself with 

 wrapping twine from a low limb of a 

 tree. His son Albert said the only mo- 

 tive he could think of was bad business 

 conditions. 



A HOMEMADE device for gathering 

 crimson clover seed, which the southern 

 farmer may make and use with a small 

 outlay of time and money, is described 

 in a bulletin soon to be issued by the 

 Department of Agriculture, which may 

 be had free of charge by applicants. The 

 uncertainty of the foreign supply of 

 crimson clover seed and the present high
