The death of H. Frank Darrow, 

 American agent for Vilmorin-Andrieux 

 & Co., is recorded in this week's obit- 

 uary column. 



Theeb ia the usual spring demand for 

 capable assistants. The seed trade al- 

 ways is short of trained help three 

 months in the year. 



N. N. Sherwood, V. M. H., head of the 

 firm of Hurst & Son, well known British 

 wholesale seedsmen, has been appointed 

 justice of the peace for the county of 

 Essex. 



Visited Chicago: Robert Fulton, of 

 Henry & Lee, New York, en route east 

 with fifteen pounds extra weight as the 

 result of seven months with his family 

 in southern California. 



It is interesting to note in British 

 trade literature the statement that 

 Grerman aster seed has not been used 

 for years, a finer sample having been 

 obtainable from America. 



Mat t, orders for February will com- 

 pare favorably with the record for the 

 same month last year and may even 

 make up the January decrease. The 

 average mail-order house now has all it 

 can do. 



On the steamer Florida, which arrived 

 at New York from Copenhagen February 

 15, were forty-five cases of valley pips 

 for Loechner & Co., and on the Nieuw 

 Amsterdam, from Rotterdam, the same 

 day, came twenty -six cases for Vaughan 's 

 Seed Store. The total up to date is 

 now 9,420 cases. 



Seedsmen as a rule read their com- 

 petitors' catalogues with considerable 

 care, especially any unusual features, 

 and the lecture H. G. Hastings addressed 

 to southern planters, occupying several 

 pages of the 1915 catalogue of his firm, 

 has attracted wide comment. The trade 

 approves his forceful argument in favor 

 of diversification of crops. 



Alfalfa experts are recommending 

 planting in rows in dry farming in 

 localities where the rainfall is fifteen 

 inches or less. A distance of three feet 

 six inches is advised, in which case only 

 one pound of seed is needed per acre. 

 For even distribution the seed is diluted 

 by thorough mixing with some inert 

 substance, such las screened lignite coal. 



The business and good will of the 

 Amzi Godden Seed Co., Birmingham, 

 Ala., has been taken over by the Amzi 

 Godden Seed & Grain Co., at 2119 First 

 avenue, incorporated recently with a fully 

 paid up capital of $20,000. The officers
