Melvin S. Griffith, of Griffith & Tur- 

 ner, Baltimore, is at Mt. Clemens, Micb., 

 taking the baths. 



HiKPF.E is one of tliost' who believe car- 

 rot is •worth real money this year. His re 

 tail catalogue shows it. 



TuE Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, is run- 

 ning 120 pea picking machines, half of 

 them in the Chicago warehouse. 



It is said that the principal pea grow- 

 ers have booked 1912 contracts about 

 up to the limit of their stock seeds. 



Arnold Ringier, secretary of the W. 

 W. Barnard Co.. has left Chicago for an- 

 other of his swing's arouiul the circle to 

 the coast. 



The Ozark Seed Co., E. L. Kline, man 

 ager, Springfield, Mo., says the Christmas 

 business was the heaviest in the history 

 of the concern. 



.roHN Wilcox, who has been in charge 

 of the farm of the W. W. Barnard Co., 

 near Chicago, is making contracts to go 

 into the pea growing business for himself 

 in Idaho. 



It appears that a large part of what 

 seed isn't grown under nature's condi- 

 tions in California, soon will be produced 

 under irrigation in the intermountain 

 country. 



Robert Sydenham, the Birmingham 

 seedsman, was elected president of the 

 National Sweet Pea Society of Great 

 Britain at the annual meeting at London, 

 December 8. 



R. H. Shumway, Rockford, 111., pur- 

 poses that the seed buyer shall be able to 

 pick the Shumway catalogue out of the 

 pile, no matter how many may be on top, 

 so he has made the 1912 book 321/4x13% 

 inches. It can't be covered up. 



Flower seeds are becoming an in- 

 creasingly important item with many of 

 the wholesale seed houses, but good flower 

 seed men are made, not born, and it is 

 difficult to pick up capable help for this 

 department. 



One of the well posted growers esti- 

 mates the 1911 Wisconsin pea crop at 

 three to three and one-half times the 

 quantity of seed planted, some varie- 

 ties, of course, having yielded two or 

 three times as much as others. 



The talk abour tiio altitude of pea 

 prices is rather misleading — the big prices 

 usually are the offers of would-be buyers 

 who can not locate the stock. The mar- 

 ket gardener will not pay over $2 per 

 peck for peas, except Gradus and one 

 or two others, and the m. g. lists as a 

 rule keep to where the customers can 

 do business as long as stock lasts. 



The Portland Seed Co., of Portland, 

 Ore., purposes to build another large 

 warehouse early in the present year. The 

 conipany now has tentative plans drawn 

 for a 5-story, reinforced concrete build- 

 ing, which will be built on the half block 

 owned by the company on East Alder 

 street, between East First and East 

 Second streets. This half block adjoins 

 the company's present warehouse.
