As the mail orders fall oflf the counter 

 trade will pick up. 



There still is four feet of snow in 

 Vermont and New Hampshire. 



The South Carolina legislature ad- 

 journed without taking action on the 

 seed bill which was vigorously opposed 

 by the seed trade. 



A NEW seed store has been opened 

 in Portland, Me., by E. L. Thompson, 

 at 21 Free street. Field, garden and 

 flower seeds are to be carried. 



With certain exceptions, there are 

 seeds enough this season. What will 

 the practice of overcontracting lead to 

 in case of a full crop in 1914? 



It is reported that the N. J. Olsen 

 Seed Co., of Fargo, N. D., will erect 

 a four or five-story building on Front 

 street at a cost of about $60,000. 



Where were the committees of the 

 American Seed Trade Association when 

 that parcel post amendment was being 

 slipped into the postoffice appropriation 

 bill! 



The New York seedsmen have been 

 devoting a great deal of time this week 

 to the spring flower show in the Grand 

 Central Palace. Several houses made 

 elaborate displays for advertising pur- 

 poses. 



The peak of the mail-order seed sea- 

 son no doubt has been passed in the last 

 week. While orders will now be on the 

 down grade, business must continue good 

 for some time, as the spring is late in 

 many important seed buying sections. 



The new 4-story fireproof building 

 erected by Clem H. Kimmel, Dayton, 

 Ohio, at Third and St. Clair streets, 

 is ready for occupation. Mr. Kimmel, 

 who has been in the seed business for 

 the last twenty-three years, will, with 

 his son, open a store in this building. 



ABOUT FACE, DOUBLE aUICK. 



March 24, the Senate passed the 

 Pomerene bill, referred to in another 

 column in this department! If it be- 

 comes a law it will restore the rate 

 of 1 cent for each two ounces up to 

 eight ounces on all parcel post ship- 

 ments of seeds and plants. E. H. P. 



"OUCH" IS RIGHT. 



The seed trade echoes the "Ouch" 

 in last week's issue of The Review, 

 wherein the new postage rates on seeds 

 and plants were stated — the deal didn 't 

 work out at all the way the trade had 

 expected it to and the increases in 

 postage on small parcels will go far 

 toward overcoming the decrease on 

 larger parcels to near-by zones. Com- 

 munications that have reached The 

 Review indicate that the trade is mak- 

 ing a vigorous protest. 



Charles N. Page, of the Iowa Seed 

 Co., Des Moines, la., wrote March 19, 

 as follows: 



"We had today a practical illustra- 

 tion of the 'benefit' to the seed trade 

 from the new parcel post law which 

 went into effect March 16. We are
