The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Jdnb 13, 1012. 



The Northern Seed Co. baa been in- 

 corporated at Cass Lake, Minn., with a 

 capital of $50,000. The incorporators 

 are N. E. Jondahl, A. J. Hole, Chris 

 Burns, Henry Mullen, P. M. Larson, A. 

 J. Swanberg, L. B'. Galbraith, M. J. Sit- 

 zer and W. E. La Fountain, all of Cass 

 Lake. The corporation is formed for the 

 purpose of raising and improving live 

 stock, produce and seeds, and for can- 

 ning fruits and vegetables. 



HoYT Hen SHAW, of West Falls, N. Y., 

 is a young seedsman, doing largely a local 

 market gardeners' trade. He says that 

 his heaviest items this year have been 

 peas and cauliflower. On the latter he 

 was especially fortunate, though the sea- 

 son began with a misfortune. A first 

 shipment of cauliflower from Denmark 

 went astray and two duplicate shipments 

 were ordered. The demand proved BO 

 large that had not the delayed shipment 

 finally arrived it would have been impos- 

 sible to have filled anywhere near all 

 the orders. 



MB. NOBTHBUF BETIBES. 



Jesse E. Northrup, president of North- 

 rup, King & Co., Minneapolis, and an 

 ex-president of the American Seed Trade 

 Association, has sold a large portion of 

 his holdings in the corporation to C. C. 

 Massie, secretary and general manager, 

 and other heads of departments, who 

 for many years have been connected 

 with the business. With the transfer 

 Mr. Northrup gives up active manage- 

 ment and Mr. Massie will assume charge. 

 Mr. Northrup will remain president of 

 the company, and Freston King, active 

 with Mr. Northrup in establishing the 

 business, will continue as treasurer. The 

 sale marks the taking up of respon- 

 sibility by younger men. HI health, 

 which compels relief from business bur- 

 dens, is the cause of the chaijge. 



The business was started in 1884, oc- 

 cupying at that time the ground floor 

 and basement of a small buildigv^ear 

 the old Suspension bridge, bridge 

 square was then the principal retail 

 district of the city. The corporation 

 now occupies a five-story building at 

 Hennepin avenue and First street, with 

 75,000 square feet of floor space, and 

 has three other large warehouses, and 

 in addition uses large outside storage 

 space. 



Mr. Massie has been identifled with 

 the company for twenty years, and 

 others for periods from ten to fifteen 

 years each. 



GRASS SEED MEN PROTEST. 



The dealers in grass seeds are up in 

 arms against the bill now before the 

 United States Senate entitled "An Act 

 to regulate foreign commerce by pro- 

 hibiting the admission into the United 

 States of certain adulterated grain and 

 seeds unfit for seeding purposes. ' ' While 

 the grass seed interests signified their 

 willingness to have such a law enacted, 

 the bill has been completely changed 

 in character since its passage by the 

 House. The Senate Committee on Ag- 

 riculture has not only raised the stand- 

 ards of purity to a hair-splitting point, 

 but, what particularly excites the seeds- 

 men, it provides a prison penalty for 

 violations, without even requiring that 

 the prosecution prove willful intent — the 

 error of an employee would be as bad. 

 This is the paragraph: 



Sec. 4. That any person or persons who sball 

 Tlolate the provisions of this Act, shall be deemed
