normally low. But conditions with seed 

 peas are such that the process of read- 

 justment will be slow. Peas will cost more 

 to grow next year than they did this year.

BOLQIANO'S EXPANSION. 



J. Bolgiano & Son, whose business at 

 Baltimore was founded in 1818 and 

 ranks among the oldest in the seed 

 trade in this country, have recently pur- 

 chased one of the finest water front 

 properties in the city. It extends al- 

 most 500 feet on Euppert street, with 

 375 feet of private dockage on their 

 own piers. The warehouse in connec- 

 tion with the property has over 75,000 

 square feet of floor space and here the 

 bulk seeds, onion sets, seed potatoes, 

 etc., are to be stored. A complete equip- 

 ment of seed-cleaning machinery has 

 been installed and a new poultry food 

 plant increases the capacity of this de- 

 partment to something like fifteen times 

 its previous output. 



GBISWOLD CO. INCORPORATES. 



The Griswold Seed Co., Qf Lincoln, 

 Neb., is no^ a corporation, having 

 filed the necessary papers with the 

 county clerk November 25. The capi- 

 tal stock of the company was fixed at 

 $2^0,000, of which amount $50,000 is 

 tobe preferred stock and $150,000 com- 

 mon. At least $125,000 of the common 

 stock is to be paid in. The incorpo- 

 rators are W. B. Griswold, Frank 

 Everts, H. J. Whitmore and E. S. 

 Gunn. The company is to engage in a 

 retail and wholesale business, including 

 the power to sell and buy real estate. 



FREE SEEDS AND BULBS. 



The seed trade will be delighted to 

 learn that the demand for congression- 

 al free seeds is on the increase and 

 that the output of American grown 

 Dutch bulbs, as it is developed by the 

 Department, will be used for free dis- 

 tribution. This is what Secretary 

 James Wilson says of it in his annual 

 report, made public today: 



"The distribution of seeds and 

 plants upon congressional order has 

 continued along much the same lines 

 as in the preceding year. The demand 

 for vegetable and flower seeds proved 

 greater than ever before. Certain I
