A CONSENSUS of opinion makes the 

 demand for French and Dutch bulbs this 

 season off twenty per cent as compared 

 with normal years. 



The change of name of the Ratekin 

 Seed Co., of Shenandoah, la., to Ratekin 

 Seed House, has been authorized. The 

 capital stock is $75,000. 



It is reported the German growers of 

 valley pips were told by their govern- 

 ment to reduce their acreage by two- 

 thirds and to use the space for wheat. 



The Goodloe Seed Co., of Lexington, 

 Ky., has been incorporated by G. Clay 

 Goodloe, Helen Goodloe and W. C. Good- 

 loe. The capital stock is fixed at $50,000. 



The bean crop is in bad shape as a re- 

 sult of the cold and the excessive rains. 

 A large part of the crop that succeeded 

 in getting out of the ground has turned 

 yellow. 



Papers changing the name of the firm 

 of C. S. Brent, Inc., Lexington, Ky., to 

 the C. S. Brent Seed Co., have been ap- 

 Broved by the Kentuckv secretary of 

 state. Liability is fixed 'at $100,000. 



With the shipping season at hand, the 

 French bulb market is receiving special

 title of Mr. Childs' business at Floral 

 Park, N. Y., papers having been filed 

 June 28. The incorporators are John 

 Lewis Childs, Mary C, Childs and Ver- 

 non G. Childs, and the capital stock is

It is reported that the J. C. Robinson 

 Seed Co., of Rocky Ford, Colo., has al- 

 ready contracted for more than 400,000

 bers, and the other half divided between 

 watermelon and cantaloupe. 



The Sloan Seed Co., Palo Alto, Cal., 

 has received permission from the state 

 corporation commission to issue its com- 

 mon stock to Frank C. Sloan in exchange 

 for his going business, and to sell its pre- 

 ferred stock, 2,500 shares of the par 

 value of $10 each, at par, to net the com- 

 pany not less than 90 cents on the dollar. 



Naturalization papers were taken out 

 recently by John Medill Clark, secretary 

 of the Leonard Seed Co. He has lived in 

 Chicago since 1867, and thought he was 

 a naturalized citizen, believing that his 

 father had been naturalized before he 

 reached his majority. A short time ago 

 he learned his error, and applied for 

 citizenship. 



In the first suit brought to trial for 

 damages as a result of the falling of the 

 wall of the Missouri Athletic Club build- 

 ing on the building occupied by the St. 

 Louis Seed Co., at St. Louis, Mo., March 

 17, 1914, the jury found the Boatmen's
