The g«ieral catalogue of Arthur T.

 eties of peas by the bushel, at from $12 

 to $20. 



W. W. Tracy, Jr., recently purchased 

 a farm near Kendrick, Idaho, for the 

 growing of vegetable and flower seeds 

 for the wholesale trade. 



Mrs. F. W. Beuggeehof, wife of the 

 venerate head of J. M. Thorburn & 

 Co., aii3 president of the Wholesale Seeds- 

 menu's League, passed away at her home 

 December 13. 



The death of Bobert Buist, at Phila- 

 delphia, was report(?U briefly in last week 's 

 issue of The Review. A further note 

 of special interest to seedsmen appears 

 in the obituary column this week. 



The late C. P. Braslan was chairman 

 of the commission which seeks to secure 

 for San Francisco the Panama Exposi- 

 tion of 1915. He had just made a trip 

 to Washington in this interest. 



The Texas Seed and Floral Co., Dallas, 

 Tex., is considering bids for a three 

 stories and basement brick and concrete 

 warehouse 100x175 to cost about $50,000. 

 It is to be so located that it will have a 

 side track connection with four raUroads. 



SsEDSMEN who once mailed their cat- 

 alogues year after year to thousands of 

 names that never returned an order, gen- 

 erally have seen the error of their ways. 

 This year few books iAW go to those who 

 did not order in the season of 1910 or 

 1909. 



Seedsmen who have made a December 

 specialty of Christmas greens are finding 

 it increasingly diflBcult to shoW a profit 

 in proportion to the work and risk, 

 though it is reported one house cleaned 

 up $12,000 on bouquet ^een alone in 

 the season of 1909. 



A GOOD many seedsmen have econo- 

 mized on catalogues this year — that is, 

 they have resisted more or less success- 

 fully the tendency to annual increase in 

 ^ze, cost and circulation. The idea is | 

 that seeds will be easier to sell, though 

 at narrower profits, this year than usual.
