The American growers of aster seed 

 have harvested pretty fair crops this year. 



W. S, Pino, Providence, E. I., lost his 

 wife December 10. Mrs. Pino had been 

 in ill health for several months. 



The Albert Dickinson Co. has been 

 given a permit to start the foundation 

 for its seed warehouse at West Thirty- 

 fifth street and South California avenue, 

 Chicago. 



The first of the eastern seed catalogues 

 for 1913 to reach The Review were those 

 of Arthur T. Boddington, New York, and 

 the Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, 0. 

 They both came to hand December 16. 



Ax onion set warehouse belonging to a 

 Chicago grower named Anderson was 

 burned last week while it contained 

 16,000 bushels of sets. The owner 

 claimed a total loss, but it is understood 

 an adjustment was made on a basis some- 

 what more favorable to the insurance 

 companies. 



Some startling variations in prices in 

 the 1913 general retail seed catalogues 

 are developing. For instance, in two 

 books arriving in the same mail one day 

 this week, the first one opened quotes 

 Alderman pea at $15 per bushel, while 

 the second lists it at $8. The latter has 

 Alaskas at $7.50, while the former reads 

 $12. 



Holly has turned comparatively scarce 

 at Chicago this week. The large handlers 

 in the trade have not been overloaded 

 and the vegetable commission houses on 

 South Water street that supply the un- 

 inspected stock have had little to offer 

 that a florist could use. A number of 

 these South Water street concerns have 

 declined to handle holly this year, having 

 had difSculty in previous seasons in get- 

 ting out of the grade of stock sent them 

 the money advanced on the shipments. 

 Several of these houses have ceased to 

 speculate on bouquet green, having found 

 it a losing game, but those still in it are 

 heavily loaded with both bulk green and 

 wreathing for which there is no demand 

 at the prices asked and of which they 

 can not let go for less without suffering 

 a loss.
