 corporated at Champaign, 111., with a 

 capital stock of $10,000, by Leo B. Ran- 

 8on, May Ranson and Bert C. Henness. 



One pessimistically inclined might al-' 

 most think that peas, both sweet and 

 culinary, are going out of cultivation, to 

 read the reports, but, somehow, we don't 

 think they will. 



The catalogue makers are not worry- 

 ing about prices so much as they once 

 did — nor are they advancing the retail 

 prices so fast as the cost of seeds, and 

 the overhead, advances. 



Not so many years ago the Holland 

 bulb salesmen made their American 

 trips in the spring, while the bulbs were 

 in bloom. Now they start before the fall 

 shipments are out of the cases. 



At Cleveland the Templin, Crockett, 

 Bradley Co., capital $10,000, has been 

 incorporated to deal in seeds, by R. L. 

 Templin, R. J. Crockett, P. A. Bradley, 

 Mary E. Templin and Carl R. Brown. 



According to Denver newspapers, "if 

 there is anything in a name, the Colorado 

 Seed & Nursery Co., which has opened 

 for business at 1515 Champa street, ought 

 to flourish, for it has at its head C. R. 

 Root." 



Henry Noble, of Noble Bros., the 

 seedsmen at Foosland, 111., reports that 

 their new warehouse 9t Gibson City is 

 almost completed. It covers a space 100 

 feet square and is built of brick, with 

 a concrete foundation. Joseph McMurray 

 will be the foreman in charge. 



Prop. F. R. Crane, the agricultural 

 extension agent of the Great Northern 

 railroad, has bought a farm of 305 acres 

 near Crookston, Minn., on which he pur- 

 poses to establish a seed growing in- 

 dustry in charge of his two sons and to 

 be known as the Crookston Red River 

 Valley Pure Seed Co. 



Magill & Co., Fargo, N. D., began 

 business in 1882. They now occupy an 

 elevator and three warehouses adjoining 

 the Northern Pacific right of way, doing 

 a large catalogue as well as wholesale

 H. E. Magill, president, and C. E. Nu- 

 gent, secretary and treasurer. 



The Gregory Farm Seed Co., of Bay 

 City, Mich., has increased its capital stock

 Tapper; vice-president, J. F. Jozwiak;

 manager, F. H. Gregory; assistant secre-

The seed trade will learn with regret 

 of the death of Anthony van Namen, at 

 Zwyndrecht, Holland, who passed away

 Van Namen Bros., of Zwyndrecht, also
