S. F. Leonard, Chicago, was bom Sep- 

 tember 4, 1852. 



Joe L, Schilder, of Schilder Bros., 

 Ohillicothe, O., is a Chicago visitor • this 

 week. 



The Schisler-Corneli Seed Co., St. 

 Louis, has invested $60,000 in a farm of 

 377 acres at Clayton, Mo., for seed grow- 

 ing and trial grounds. 



Arthur L. Deal, son of the managing 

 director of W. W. Johnson & Son, Boston, 

 England, is here for his annual selling 

 trip among seedsmen. 



The Hoermann Seed Store, of Terre 

 Haute, Ind., has been incorporated by 

 Frank Hoermann, L. J. Quinian and 

 M. E. Hoermann. The capitalization is 

 $5,000. 



Frost has done considerable damage to 

 the seed crops in Michigan and Wiscon- 

 sin, but the extent of loss will not be ap- 

 parent for some time. Beans are thought 

 to be rather hard hit. 



The Harrisii crop has turned out even 

 shorter than anyone predicted, but the 

 Harrisii is not the essential item it was 

 before Japanese bulbs were stored from 

 one season to the next. 



An extended tour of the western seed 

 districts and the Pacific coast country is 

 being made by A. H. Smith, treasurer of 

 the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, and his 

 wife. They will return about Septem- 

 ber 18. ^"---^ 



The Formosa lily bulbs are about all 

 in and most of them have been delivered 

 on advance orders. The crop this year 

 was smaller than usual and there appears 

 to be nothing that can develop into a 

 surplus. 



Some of the Holland houses that had 

 sold French bulbs in America have found 

 difficulty in getting space on the steam- 

 ers and have notified customers their 

 shipments could not be floated before 

 September 1. 



K. Van Bouroondien & Sons, Hille- 

 gom, Holland, have established a perma- 

 nent American headquarters at 147 Mag- 

 nolia avenue, Arlington, N. J., with C. J. 

 Van Bourgondien, a member of the firm, 

 as resident manager. 



W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, 

 supplementing previous reports, state that 

 the only extreme shortages among their 

 new sweet peas are on Fordhook Pink 

 and Fordhook Rose; their new early win- 

 ter-flowering varieties of sweet peas at 

 Floradale have yielded fair to good 

 crops, including several of their choicest 

 novelties. 



CoNsroERABLE interest is taken in this 

 season's crop of alfalfa seed in Califor- 

 nia. According to a report from Susan- 

 ville, Cal., C. A. Patrick, of the Rudy- 

 Patrick Seed Co., Kansas City, has con- 

 tracted for about 250,000 pounds in that 

 district. It is reported that a larger 

 crop than that of last year is expected. 



A MOST enjoyable motor tour of the 

 northern Michigan seed districts is being 

 made by W. W. Barnard, president of the 

 W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago. Arnold 

 Ringier, secretary, will take his outing at
