JCLY 29, 1915. 



uji^ ^^|)acker8 consider them better than 

 tnofw grown under irrigation. They are 

 pW«kiOff''-Bmaller this year and are not 

 n^gtly so coarse as the irrigated. He 

 repoWs a heavy demand by canners for 

 this type. 



The Holland bulb grow.era consider the 

 quality of this year's crop unusually 

 good. Weather for the harvest was fa- 

 vorable. It is said the character of the 

 stock has been improved by last season's 

 surplus, the growers doing their throwing 

 away among the most common varieties 

 rather than among the better sorts. While 

 the production is not so large as last 

 year, a surplus still is likely, because of 

 closed markets and restricted demand in 

 those that are open. 



THE SECOND GENEBATION. 



Robert Henry Black, who is not, as 

 the illustration would indicate, a 

 sower, "but a seller of seeds, learned 

 the business from his father, at Inde- 

 pendence, la., where he was born, and 





Robert Henry Black. 



is now putting in practice the paternal 

 principles at Albert Lea, Minn. After 

 leayjng Independence and before ar- 

 riving at Albert Lea, Mr. Black spent 

 some ttaft at Fayette, la., at the Upper 

 Iowa University, and later sojourned a 

 while in Philadelphia, where he had 

 plenty of opportunity to become versed 

 in the science of seed selling. Although 

 he has not been in Albert Lea long, 

 Mr. Black has already made himself 

 well known in that part of the country. 

 His hobby is the gladiolus, and when 

 state fair time comes, he annually picks 

 up a few premiums. 



SHENANDOAH'S FBIDE. 



One of the nicest things that can 

 happen to any business is to have the 

 commuJrtfl^ take pride in it. And 

 Shenandoah undeniably is proud of the 

 Henry Field Seed So. . Says a local 

 newspaper: 



"Of the $313,000 received in pay- 

 ment for seeds, it should be remem- 

 bered yfehat practically every cent is 

 outside money coming into Shenandoah, 

 and the bulk of it stays here, being 

 paid out for labor, seeds, grain, sup- 

 plies and the dozens of other expenses.
