Ralph M. Ward, of New York, spent 

 Christmas at Lake Tohopekaliga, Kis- 

 simmee, Fla. 



Charles N. Pack, Des Moines, spent 

 the holidays with Mrs. Page and their 

 three children, who are wintering at 

 San Diego, Cal. 



The German seeds have been coming in 

 slowly for weeks, but the boats that have 

 reached New York in the last week of 

 the year have brought heavy shipments. 



Seven-top turnip in Tennessee has 

 had a favorable season thus far, accord- 

 ing to McKay, Reece & Co., who have a 

 considerable acreage near Nashville. 



The December 12 list of Kelway & 

 Son, Langport, England, which came to 

 hand December 27, is interesting as af- 

 fording an idea of the British notion of 

 how prices for 1913 crop compare with 

 those for present delivery. 



Deliveries of beans are turning out 

 as bad as anyone feared. One house re- 

 ports that eighty-five per cent is the 

 highest delivery it has been assured on 

 any variety, while on some sorts the de- 

 livery has been as low as ten per cent. 



Says W. Atlee Burpee in a letter 

 anent the parcel post : •' To me it seems 

 it would take a Philadelphia lawyer to 

 handle this zone system and personally 

 I am glad indeed that seeds are exempted 

 from this annoyance." And Mr. Burpee 

 is absolutely right, as usual. 



The Rudy-Patrick Seed Co. has re- 

 moved to 1306-08 West Eighth • street, 

 where there will be much more space for 

 the transaction of business and much bet- 

 ter switching facilities than at the former 

 location.'' The company is also installing 

 additional cleaning machinery and other 

 equipments. 



Bids for the government seed order 

 for the congressional free distribution of 

 1914 will be opened at Washington Jan- 

 uary 7. As usual, the order is subject to 

 Congress making the customary appropri- 

 ation. Copies of the specifications have 

 been in the hands of the trade for some 

 time. The contracts will call for about 

 r)0,000 pounds of flower seeds and 1,200.- 

 000 pounds of vegetable seeds, with small 

 quantities of other items. 



Marshall Humphrey, who has been 

 manager for the Arizona Seed Co., at 

 Phoenix, Ariz., since it was established 

 a year and a half ago, is now manager 

 of the store of the Sturges Hay & Grain 

 Co., at 125 East Jefferson street, Phoe- 

 nix. He is succeeded at the oflBce of the 

 Arizona Seed Co. by F. D. Rennison. 

 Under Mr. Humphrey 's management, the 

 Sturges Hay & Grain Co. will engage in 

 the seed and poultry supply business on 

 an extensive scale.
