It is the general report that this has 

 been a big year for insecticides. Manu- 

 facturers, jobbers and seed stores all 

 agree on it. 



The death of Charles R. Koch, head of 

 the P. B. Mingle Co., the Philadelphia 

 seed concern, is recorded in this week's 

 obituary column. 



The new order blanks and address 

 labels have spaces for filling in the zone. 

 If the mailing clerk does not have to 

 stop to look this up, the mail goes about 

 as fast as ever. 



The North of France candidum bulbs 

 that were in warehouses when the Ger- 

 mans swept up on Paris now are coming 

 to hand, shipment having followed close 

 on the advance of the allies. 



Incorporation papers have been issued 

 to the Nowata Seed Co., of Nowata, 

 Okla., with a capital stock of $1,500. The 

 incorporators are A. C. McComic, D. D. 

 Howell and E. B. Chesman, of Nowata. 



It is said that the Danish crop of lily 

 of the valley pips is increased each year, 

 the stock having proved as satisfactory 

 as the best German pips. Most of the 

 Danish crop will come to America this 

 year. 



The Eudy-Patrick Seed Co., Kansas 

 City, has removed to the northeast cor- 

 ner of Ninth and Santa Fe streets, where 

 larger quarters will permit installing ad- 

 ditional cleaning machinery and other 

 facilities for handling increased business. 



Troubles have multiplied because seeds 

 sold by dry measure do not always con- 

 form to the varying legal weights for the 

 quantity. All this will be avoided by 

 selling by weight only, as already is the 

 general practice in the trade on the Pa- 

 cific coast. 



No special concern is manifest over the 

 condition of the pea crops, which are not 

 so fine as they might be — the alarm is all 

 on the score of the beans. Last year there 

 was a good pea and a bad bean crop, with 

 a similar situation this season to add to 

 last spring's troubles. 



E. S. GUNN has resigned his position 

 as manager of the mail-order seed house 

 of Galloway Bros.-Bowman Co., of Water- 

 loo, la. He says he will rest for a while. 

 It will be remembered that Mr. Gunn for- 

 merly was vice-president and manager of 

 the Griswold Seed Co., Lincoln, Neb. 



W. Atlee Burpee entertained eighty 

 members of the Poor Richard Club, of 

 Philadelphia, at Fordhook Farm, near 

 Doylestown, September 19. Among the 

 members of the trade present were 

 Alexander Forbes, Charles Henry Fox, 

 Howard M. Earl, W. F. Therkildson, A. 

 B. Scott, Walter Van Cort and John 

 Washburne. 



That matter of germination is not the 

 vital thing the would-be law-makers 

 thought it was, and with increased knowl- 

 edge a more reasonable trend in legisla- 

 tion is apparent. A planter often is bet- 

 ter served by certain seeds of low germi- 

 nation than by others of much higher vi- 

 tality, but the man who does not know
