fense he can," which might be taken 

 to indicate that only one case has been 

 started. 



Charles N. Page, of the Iowa Seed 

 Co., Des Moines, says : "We understand 

 from the Statp Commissioner that all 

 of the parties who are to be tried for 

 violating the seed law are country deal- 

 ers. These parties have either purchased 

 the seed from farmers and sold it with- 

 out recleaning, or have purchased low 

 grade seed from seedsmen in other states. 

 This is evidently the case in two or 

 three cases, where the seed sold is found 

 to contain Canada thistle. So far, none 

 of the regular seed dealers in this state 

 have been charged with violating the 

 seed law, and I believe that they are, 

 as a rule, handling a better grade of 

 seed than ever before."

BARTELDES TO BUILD AGAIN. 



By the purchase of the lot on which is 

 at present situat*! its poultry depart- 

 ment, at 1525 Fifteenth street, the Bar- 

 teldes Seed Co., Denver, has removed the 

 last obstacle to the erection of a five- 

 story building which has been under con- 

 templation by the company for several 

 months. The cost will be $50,000. 



TPhe business has increased with great 

 rapidity of late. Salesmen are main- 

 tained in the northwest, California, the 

 southwest and throughout the state of 

 Colorado. There are seventy-two em- 

 ployees in the warehouse at Sixteenth 

 and Wynkoop, at the two old stores at 

 1521-25 Fifteenth- street and at the grass 

 seed store at 1518 Wazee street. 



The present five-story warehouse, where 

 ■ all wholesale orders are filled, and where 

 the office of Manager C. E. Boot is main- 

 tained, cost $55,060. It- was built five 

 years ago and it was not dreamed at 

 that time that it would be outgrown so 

 soon. Wheie the new building will be 

 erected is now located the city store, 

 where retail customers are taken care of. 

 This is a busy place at this time, al- 

 though the company has been for several 

 ' years trying to induce its local trade to 

 come to the new building at Sixteenth 

 and Wynkoop. Florists' and poultry 

 supplies are now handled in the Fifteenth 

 street stores, where the company began 

 business seventeen years ago. One of 

 these has been owned by the company 

 for several years. 



The extent of the Barteldes business, 

 scarcely appreciated in Denver, is indi- 

 cated by the fact that the company pub-
