to the seed business. James H. Qoodby, 

 also employed by Bromfield & Colvin, 

 has gone to Chicago to accept a position. 



Eepoets from Holland speak of a sat- 

 isfactory blooming season in the bulb 

 fields. 



Notes on storm damage of interest to 

 seedsmen will be found on page 12 of 

 this issue. 



J. W. Jung, of the Jung Seed Co., 

 Bandolph, "Wis., was a Chicago visitor 

 last week. 



The Rochester Canning Co., Bochester, 

 Ind., is a concern just starting. W. C. 

 McBeynolds Is manager. 



The canners as well as the seed grow- 

 ers had planted a considerable proportion 

 of their peas before the April blizzard. 

 Losses wUl be important, for seed is not 

 available for extensive replanting. 



L. H. Aechias, Sedalia, Mo., will sail 

 from New York May 14 on the S. 8. 

 Konig Albert for three months' visit 

 to seed growing sections in Europe. He 

 will be accompanied by Mrs. Archias and 

 thdr daughters, Elise and Edith. 



The a. L. Bandall Co., Chicago, last 

 season put out a lawn grass mixture, in 

 bulk and cartons, seUing principally 

 through retail florists, and reports the 

 business this year promises to be nearly 

 if not quite ten times what it aggregated 

 the first season. 



The firm of Polman Mooy is celebrat- 

 ing. May 1 of this year, its centenary as 

 bulb growers in the same place, Kleine 

 Houtweg, Haarlem, Holland, and on the 

 very spot where the so well known tulip 

 speculation took place in 1634 to 1637, 

 of which an interesting booklet has been 

 published by the firm, both in the French 

 and German languages. In its garden 

 may be seen a brick-built greenhouse 

 constructed two centuries ago and which 

 is BtUl used in almost its original form. 



The thirty-third anniversary of the 

 Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, under the 

 management of Charles N. Page, was 

 celebrated April 16. Mr. Page entered the 

 employ of the company when he was 16 

 years of age. Since then it has grown until 

 it now has a retail department occupying 

 two floors, three warehouses, a mail order 

 building four stories in height, thirty- 

 three greenhouses, the Iowa Bird Co., 

 said to be the largest in the world, the 

 Iowa Floral Co., and large testing 

 grounds at Altoona.

MICHIGAN PEAS ESCAPE FROST. 



In last week's Review contract grow- 

 ers of peas spoke of much of the crop 

 having been planted and of the fact that 

 stock seed is not available for replanting 

 shpuld mishaps befall. So when the bliz- 

 zard swept over the central states April 

 22 inquiries were addressed to several 

 growers to see how the peas had fared. 

 Here sire the replies: 



A. J, Brown Seed Co., Grand Bapids, 

 wrote April 25: '* Replying to your in- 

 quiry, so far we have no reliable re- 

 ports from northern Michigan as" 16 what 

 estent, if any,, Che frost has damiyged the

 a great many peas were not above
