Wholesale j>rit'e lists of seeds do not 

 show advances in prices in j)roportion to 

 the croj) failures of the year. 



"As the trade knows," say W. Atlee 

 Burpee & Co., in their new wholesale 

 price list, "sweet peas are in short sup- 

 ply the world over — America has never 

 before fallen down on sweet peas as this 

 year. ' ' 



The duties on seeds will be up for 

 consideration at Washington January 20, 

 the conunittee on ways and means having? 

 given notice of a hearing on Schedule (i 

 of the tariff law for 10 a. m. that day. 

 Paragrapli 12(53 of Schedule G covers 

 bull)s and i)aragraph 2(50 covers seeds. 

 A number of the trade interests are pre- 

 paring to be represented. 



The a. a. Berry Seed Co., of Clarinda, 

 la., has nearly completed a new three- 

 story building, 40x5(1 feet. The new 

 structure is an addition to a frame build- 

 ing used as a wareiiouse south of the 

 Burlington route freight station. The 

 company also has a brick building in 

 the same locality, as well as a large two- 

 story brick building uptown. 



G. H. HUNKEL Co., Milwaukee, has 

 j»urchased the Wernich Seed Co., of that 

 city. The store of the Wernich Seed Co., 

 27-29 Juneau avenue, will V)e closed as a 

 retail store and used as a warehouse, the 

 store and offices of the G. H. Hunkel Co. 

 being continued sus heretofore at 327 

 Chestnut street. The Wernich Seed Co. 

 is an old and well established concern, 

 l>eing established in 1S79. G. H. Hunkel 

 Co. was et-'tahlished in UMl.'). K. P. Ilunkol 

 is j)resident and tJ. II. Hunkel secretary 

 and treasurer. 



The Arthur T. Boddingt(ui 1913 gen- 

 eral catalogue, from the McFarland ])ress, 

 is one of the handsomest seed catalogues 

 that have thus far been issued. It aj)pcars 

 to leave nothing typographical to J>e de- 

 sired. Also, the book has Viecome one 

 of the most comjilete. for it contains 152 

 j)ages. While it has been customary for 

 seedsmen to j>repay jiostage on small re- 

 tail orders, the Boddington book makes a 

 strong bid for business under the new 

 l»arcel jwst by offering to i)re|)ay jiostage 

 on all cash orders ccmiing within the 

 weight limit of eleven pounds. 



The (talloway Bros.-Bowman Co., the 

 seed firm of Waterloo, la., has nearly 

 completed a new warehouse and expects 

 to have it ready for use by .lanuary 1. 

 The building is of cement block con- 

 struction. It covers a space 48x00 feet 

 and is two stories high, besides the base: 

 nient. Part of the second floor will be 

 occupied by the offices of the company. 

 It is estimated that the building and its 

 equipments will cost about $25,000. The 

 firm has contracted with the German-
