The obituary column this week con- 

 tains the report of the death of Victor 

 Johansen, Arroyo Grande, Cal. 



The counter trade has come to life in 

 Chicago and other eastern cities this 

 week, influenced by spring weather! 

 Along the eastern seaboard the season is 

 •at its height. 



Joseph Beeck & Sons Co., Boston, 

 have added the nursery business to their 

 line, handling it through a separate cor- 

 poration just organized by themselves 

 and Alfred E. Robinson. 



The mail orders are on the sharp down 

 grade, but the total to date is fairly 

 satisfactory, some of the younger houses 

 reporting excellent increases without, ap- 

 parently, having pulled anything away 

 from the large older concerns. 



The Amarillo Nursery & Seed Co., 

 Amarillo, Tex., has been incorporated 

 with a paid up capital of $25,000. The 

 officers are: President and manager, D. 

 J, Muncy; vice-president, R. E. Under- 

 wood; secretary and treasurer, W. F. 

 •Jons. "While the nursery business will 

 be the principal line, field and garden 

 -seeds will be grown and dealt in. 



The trade was much pleased with the 

 report in this column last week of the 

 heavy rain in the California seed grow- 

 ing district. The seed growers had been 

 'none too cheerful in their private ad- 

 vices, in spite of previous reports of rain, 

 l)ut the news of the last and heaviest 

 precipitation, unusually late and unex- 

 pected as it was, came as an assurance 

 of at least average crops. California has 

 ■come to snpply so large a part of the 

 seeds growli in the United States that 

 •conditions there are of prime importance.
