There was the usual quiet little gather- 

 ing of seedsmen at Washington, Tuesday, 

 January 9, to witness the opening of the 

 bids on the government contract. 



The man who wants to contract 50,000 

 bushels of peas, 1912 crop, probably 

 would have little trouble at next month's 

 canners' convention at Kochester. But 

 who wants tof 



Before the end of the month Balph M. 

 Ward & Co., New York, will remove to 

 71 Murray street, where the entire ninth 

 floor will be occupied with quarters that 

 will be up-to-date in every respect. 



C. C. Abel & Co., New York, well 

 known importers and exporters of horti- 

 cultural commodities, filed a petition in 

 bankruptcy January 4. Liabilities, $55,- 

 237; nominal assets, $15,371. 



J. W. Jung, Eandolph, Wis., says that 

 seed com is bound to be sold out long 

 before the end of the season, owing to 

 the unfavorable weather having caused 

 farmers to neglect saving their own seed. 



Belated orders for Dutch bulbs still 

 are being filled. The S. S. Potsdam, that 

 reached New York January 3, from Rot- 

 terdam, brought five cases for Peter Hen- 

 derson & Co. and six cases for Henry & 

 Lee. 



Not all the pea growers have suc- 

 cumbed to the temptation of high prices 

 and parted with stock seeds. Quite on the 

 contrary, some of them are holding on to 

 more stock than usual, to increase the 

 1912 acreage. 



The first catalogues, mailed are bring- 

 ing a not more than usually prompt re- 

 sponse. The severe cold snap that was 

 general aU over the country right after 

 the hoUdays has operated toward holding 

 back the early birds. 



H. F. MiCHELL Co., Philadelphia, al- 

 ready has found its new buildings inade- 

 quate to its needs and has leased the 

 four-story building adjoining its Ludlow 

 street warehouses to give a necessary in- 

 crease in warehouse facilities. 



There are quite a few new people 

 starting into the -seed growing business 

 and it is said they express surprise at the 

 reluctance to intrust stock seed to them. 

 Your up-to-date seedsman looks pretty 

 closely into the qualifications of the men 

 with whom he makes contracts these days. 



Probably it wUl take two or three full 

 crop years to put the world 's stock of seeds 

 back to normal, but it certainly does look 

 as though individual seedsmen were large- 

 ly overcontracting their needs for 1913, 

 undoubtedly with the idea of getting their 

 wants filled even in the face of another 

 year of short deliveries like the last. 



The grass seed business conducted by 

 Henry Nungesser & Co., New York, has 

 been taken over by a newly organized 

 company known as the Nungesser-Dickin- 

 8on Seed Co., and will be continued under 

 that name. Henry Nungesser, for so 

 many years identified with the grass seed 

 business in this country and Europe, is 

 president of the new company, and will 

 assume charge of its affairs. Marshall
