The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JUNB 10, 1909. 



^l^^^lrl-»l| Th.' KfVlew -vtifi) yoii w rite 



the Goodrich Transit Co., and, particu- 

 larly, the Mutual Transit Co., which 

 operates steamers direct from Green Bay 

 to Buffalo on very reasonable rates. The 

 freight rates out of Green Bay were 

 largely the cause for selecting that point 

 for this new branch, as Green Bay en- 

 joys the 100 per cent or Chicago basis 

 of rates on east-bound business. 



The Clark Seed Co. has arranged with 

 E. L. Olmsted, of St. Louis, to take 

 charge at Green Bay as superintendent 

 of its Wisconsin branch. Mr. Olmsted 

 brings to this work an experience of 

 twenty-one years in the seed business, 

 particularly in the production of seed 

 peas and beans. From 1888 to 1893 he 

 was with N. B. Keeney & Son, Le Roy, 

 N. Y.; from 1893 to the present time 

 with the Plant Seed Co., St. Louis, dur- 

 ing a portion of which time he managed 

 the Plant company 's growing business 

 in Michigan. Latterly he has been lo- 

 cated at St. Louis, sharing with Mr. 

 Plant the management of the garden 

 seed department of the Plant Seed Co. 



Mr. Olmsted enters upon his new 

 duties at Green Bay June 15, at the be- 

 ginning of the roguiiig season. The 

 warehouse will be completed July 1. 



The Wisconsin business of the Clark 

 Seed Co. has heretofore been handled 

 from Sister Bay, but as the business has 

 enjoyed a great increase, the labor and 

 shipping facilities of that point have 

 proved inadequate. The establishment at 

 Sister Bay, owned by the company, wiU 

 still be operated as a sub-station in con- 

 nection with the Green Bay house. 



The concern's business in Michigan is 

 handled from East Jordan, under A. E. 

 Cross, as superintendent of the Michigan 

 branch. Mr. Cross has had about the 

 same experience in the growing of peas 

 and beans as has Mr. Olmsted, Mr. Cross 

 having previously been with N. B. Kee- 

 ney & Son and for many years with D. 

 M, Ferry & Co., at one time superin- 

 tendent of Ferry's Charlevoix branch. 



IMPORTS. 



The imports of seed through the port 



of New York for the week ending May 



29 were as follows:

In the same period the imports of 



bulbs, trees and plants were valued at 



$11,380. 



PEAS IN SOUTH DAKOTA. 



The peas have obtained a good start 

 in the new growing district in Lake and 

 Minnehaha counties in spite of the late 

 season. The 0. S. Jones Seed Co., of 

 Madison, S. D., which has out over 3,000 

 acres in this new field, wrote the Review 

 June 3 as follows: 



"We have been reading with much in- 

 terest the reports from pea growing dis- 

 tricts in the Review. This is our first 

 season that we have out such a large 

 acreage in this locality. We have seventy-

 amounting to 3,100 acres. We com- 

 menced seeding April 20 and finished the 

 last week in May. This has been a very 

 cool, backward spring, but our first seed- 

 ing is from eight to twelve inches high 

 and is looking fine. Farmers are very 

 much pleased with the prospects and are 

 looking for an average yield." 



SEED SEASON NOT CLOSED. 



Maurice Fuld, of W. W. Kawson & Co., 

 Boston, takes exception to the statement 

 that the seed season is closed. Not in 

 Boston, he asserts. June 1 Mr. Fuld 

 said: 



"We note some people think the seed 

 season is over. We do not agree at all 

 on this point, for our mail this morning 

 has been heavier than on any one day 

 during the season.
