Ealph M. Ward, of Ealph M. Ward 

 & Co., has purchased the 5-story build- 

 ing at 243 Broadway, New York City. 

 It is reported the deal involved about 

 $300,000. 



David Burpee, of W. Atlee Burpee & 

 Co., Philadelphia, has been on a trip to 

 the south. He was well entertained by 

 the Birmingham, Ala., seedsmen during 

 his stay there. 



The trade is taking every opportunity 

 to add to its seed resources. Last week's 

 boat from Eotterdam brought 570 bags 

 of flower and vegetable seeds consigned 

 to forwarding agents. 



Al. J. Nevraumont, of the California 

 Seed Co., San Francisco, says this is an 

 unusually late season, on account of the 

 frequent heavy rains, and business is still 

 keeping up well in lines that ordinarily 

 subside a month earlier. 



There will undoubtedly be plenty of 

 turnip seed for this year's crop, but as 

 the entire seed crop for next year prob- 

 ably will have to be grown in this coun- 

 try, there will inevitably be a shortage in 

 the absence of an increased acreage. 



Eeports from Holland indicate that 

 small seed crops are to be expected so 

 far as biennials are concerned. Weather 

 conditions of autum.n, winter and spring 

 have been steadily unfavorable, so that 

 the loss of plants has been large. 



French radish seed is such an uncer- 

 tain quantity this year that Michigan 

 and California growers are encouraged. 

 In Michigan the crop has not appealed 

 to farmers, who have made better money 

 in other ways, but in California the pro- 

 duction has increased steadily. 



The annual mean rainfall at Chicago 

 is 33.18 inches. Up to last week 1915 

 showed a deficiency of 4.52 inches, but 

 May 15 there was 2.75 inches of precipi- 

 tation within two hours. The onion set 

 acreage, the most important in the 

 United States, is no longer suffering for 

 moisture but because of it; many of the 

 fields were badly cut up by the torrents. 



No word has been received regarding 

 William Mitchelhill, of the seed firm of 

 Mitchelhill Bros., St. Joseph, Mo., who 

 was a passenger on the Lusitania. He 

 was on his way to England on a busi- 

 ness trip. Upon the receipt of news of 

 the disaster, Bruce Mitchelhill, his broth- 

 er, cabled to relatives in Edinburgh for 

 information of him. William Mitchel- 

 hill was a British subject, for although 

 he had been in this country ten years, he
