Visited Chicago: Marshall H. Dur- 

 yea, New York. 



Ralph M. Ward, of New York, made 

 a flying trip to Chicago October 21. 



Albert McCullough has returned to 

 Cincinnati after his annual hunting and 

 fishing trip in Florida. 



The cheaper varieties of popular 

 bedding tulips in wholesale bands al- 

 ready are well cleaned up. 



There has been a marked increase 

 this season in the calls for the Darwin 

 and May-flowering tulips. 



Birds and goldfish are being taken up 

 as profitable side lines by large numbers 

 of seed stores and flower stores. 



J. Charles McCullough, of Cincin- 

 nati, was shot by an unknown assail- 

 ant in front of his office October 28. 



Tulip bulbs at Chicago axe unusually 

 well cleaned up for so early a date. It 

 amounts to a shortage, as retail sales 

 are scarcely more than beginning and 

 reorders from the trade are coming in 

 quite freely. 



The Younkerman Seed Co., of Coun- 

 cil Bluflfs, la., is remodeling its building, 

 a two-story brick structure at the cor- 

 ner of Broadway and Second street. The 

 entire store front is being replaced with 

 a modern display window and entrance. 



It is estimated that fully fifty per 

 cent of the auratuni bulbs of the early 

 shipments arrived in unsound condition 

 this year. The importers think the 

 trouble is due to early digging and it is 

 likely early shipments will be decidedly 

 light next year. 



There is a big demand for Darwin 

 tulips. Not only are increased quanti- 

 ties wanted for bedding, but hundreds 

 of cut flower growers who have noted in 

 The Beview the it«ms with regard to 

 forcing the Darwins are trying a few of 

 several varieties to see how it goes. 



This week's obituary column contains 

 a report of the death of Wm. F. A. Ken- 

 del, of A. C. Kendel's Seed Store, Cleve- 

 land, O. The deceased was a brother 

 and partner of C. E. Kendel, secretary- 

 treasurer of the American Seed Trade 

 Association, who will continue the busi- 

 ness without change of the firm name. 



The Department of Agriculture has 

 sought to enforce the potato quarantine 

 with great rigor, even going so far as 

 to exclude shipments that were on the 

 ocean at the time the quarantine was 

 declared. The consignees have suffered 

 heavy losses and naturally have made 

 strenuous protest, but it has been with- 

 out avail. Therefore Meyer & Lange, 

 of New York, have begun a test suit,
