Thirtieth annual convention, Chicago, June 25 to

J. C. Vaughan, Chicago, has returned 

 from a trip to Florida and Cuba. 



This week's obituary column con- 

 tains a report of the death of Victor 

 Schrage, a prominent seedsman of Cin- 

 cinnati, O. 



There is a good demand for seeds of 

 the pickling varieties of cucumber, and 

 it is expected to increase as the season 

 progresses, for the pickle market is 

 pretty bare because of the short pack 

 last season. 



The L. L. Olds Seed Co., Madison, 

 Wis., has considerably increased its ad- 

 vertising compared to last year's appro- 

 priation. The advertising is placed by 

 the J. Walter Thompson Co., Frank B. 

 White acting as counselor. 



Beaulieu, the seedsman at Wood- 

 haven, L. I., has retained Coudert Bros., 

 2 Rector street, New York, to prosecute 

 certain claims against the American Ex- 

 press Co. for overcharges, excess 

 duty paid and delay in delivering a ship- 

 ment of thirty-two bags of French seeds. 



The McVay Seed Co. has been incor- 

 porated at Birmingham, Ala., with an 

 authorized capital stock of $10,000, and 

 will start business with $5,000 of the 

 stock paid in. The officers are: Presi- 

 dent, J. B. Dolsen; vice-president, John 

 L. Parker; secretary and treasurer, Mrs. 

 C. E. McVay. 



From all the talk about peas in Idaho 

 and Montana it would appear that the 

 acreage growing out there would be 

 enough to supply an average season's 

 needs. But the trade is not apt to 

 wholly desert the old pea section all at 

 once. Wonder where all the stock seed 

 is coming from, anyhowf 



The blizzard that was general Febru- 

 ary 21 from the Missouri river to the 

 Atlantic, extending far south and in 

 some districts being the most severe in 

 twenty years, stemmed the rapidly rising 

 tide of mail orders, but it was too late 

 in the season for the snow to last long 

 and business soon was gathering volume 

 again.
