G. E. Evans, formerly of Gainesville, 

 Pla., who recently started a seed store in 

 Jacksonville, reports business far ahead 

 of his expectations. 



The death of Frank T. Emerson, form- 

 erly of the Western Seed & Irrigation 

 Co., which took place April 23, at Mer- 

 cedes, Tex., is reported in this week's 

 obituary column. 



The Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago, has 

 just procured a building permit for a 7- 

 story brick seed elevator to cost $100,- 

 000, as a part of the block of buildings 

 it will put up at West Thirty-fifth 

 street and South California avenue.

C. C. Morse & Co., of San Francisco, 

 have been fortunate enough to strike a 

 splendid flow of water in one of the new 

 wells on their San Juan farm. They 

 have been pumping a 10-inch stream onto 

 their fields for several weeks, running the 

 pump both day and night. 



An inspection of the seed crops in the 

 San Juan and Hollister districts of Cali- 

 fornia, April 19, showed them to be about 

 a month late. The sweet pea vines were 

 from five to eight inches long, whereas 

 they should nearly cover the ground at 

 that date. There has not only been a 

 serious shortage in the rainfall, but the 

 weather has been cool and conditions 

 generally unfavorable to growth.

 guson Seed Co., of Minneapolis, Minn.,

 mation given out by state immigration 

 officers at Madison. The plan is to 

 divide the tract into 80-acre farms, each 

 provided with a house and barn and with 

 twenty acres cleared for each settler. A 

 produce clearing house will assist settlers 

 in marketing crops. 



Governor Foss has appointed Luther 

 Adams Breck, son of Charles H. Breck, 

 president of Joseph Breck & Sons, Bos-

 wealth of Massachusetts to the Southern 

 Commercial Congress during its forth- 

 coming session at the International Insti- 

 tute of Agriculture in Rome, Italy. Mr. 

 Breck is a Harvard than ttnd of the 

 fourth generation of the name in the 

 house of Breck. At present he, with his 

 family, is in the south of France, having 

 reached there in the course of a tour of 

 Europe.

All hands at the house of Burnett, 

 on Cortlandt street, New York, have 

 been working night and day for the

April has been an excellent month in 

 all departments of the seed trade. Mail 

 orders have held up well, counter trade
