It is the talk at Milwaukee that 

 James Currie, president of Currie Bros. 

 Co., will be appointed to the park board 

 June 1, when a vacancy occurs. 



Walter P. Stokes, of Stokes' Seed 

 Store, Philadelphia, says Golden Anda- 

 lusia pole wax bean is so scarce he would 

 be glad to pay a premium for a few 

 quarts of it. 



Simon Adrianus de Graaff, father 

 of the enterprising brothers De Graaff, 

 who run the business of De Graaff Bros., 

 Ltd., bulb-growers, Leiden, Holland, died 

 April 25, in his seventy-first year. 



Seedsmen who handle bulbs will be in

 can Seed Trade Association, passed 

 through Chicago May 7 on his way to 

 California. He is on a business trip in 

 the interests of the Page Seed Co., 

 Greene, N. Y., of which he is president. 



April made a rather better record with 

 most of the mail order seed houses than 

 did January and February, comparing 

 with the same months last year. The 

 volume of orders did not dwindle so rap- 

 idly this year as it has in other seasons, 

 probably due to weather conditions. 



E. W. King, of E. W. King & Co., 

 wholesale seed merchants, Cogggshall, 

 Essex, and Thomas Cullen, seed ^ower 

 at Witham, Essex, England, sailed for 

 New York May 10. Mr. King is known
