W. Atlee Buepee is at Culver, Ind., 

 to see his sons graduate from the well- 

 known military school there. 



A BULLETIN on " Vetch Growing in the 

 South Atlantic States," just issued by 

 the U. S. Department of Agriculture, 

 will be of interest to seedsmen having 

 trade in that section. 



The Federal Horticultural Board has 

 issued revised regulations for the en- 

 forcement of the plant quarantine act. 

 They are printed on page 62 of this 

 issue of The Keview. 



The price of Roman hyacinths con- 

 tinues too stiflf to be to the liking of im- 

 porters, some of whom fear there will be 

 a break that may leave them with pur- 

 chases that will be diflScult to move at a 

 profit. 



Reports from California continue of 

 a most pessimistic nature. While the 

 lack of rain has hit all crops, sweet peas 

 appear to afford gravest concern. The 

 outlook for sweet peas is the worst on 

 record. 



Generally speaking, conditions in 

 European seed growing sections may be 

 said to be good. There always is the 

 story of discouraging outlook for this 

 and that class of seeds, but on the whole 

 the present prospect probably is better 

 than for several years. 



The conviction is growing that the 

 seed trade as a whole is the loser by the 

 present parcel post arrangement — the 

 trade meets most of the obstacles but 

 gets none of the benefits. In the middle 

 ■west there is a strong demand that 

 seeds, plants and bulbs be included with 

 other merchandise in the parcel post law. 



The Gate City Seed Co., of Keokuk, 

 la., has completed its plans for the 

 erection of a three-story brick oflSce 

 building and warehouse and a five-story 

 mill and elevator at Third and Exchange 

 streets. It is expected that the build- 

 ings will cost from $25,000 to $30,000 

 and will be completed by December 1. 

 The site of the proposed structures has 

 a frontage of 100 feet on Exchange 

 street an(l 140 feet on Third street. The 

 mill will be operated by electricity. The 

 oflBcers of the company are: President, 

 A. M. Davidson; vice-president, E. 11. 

 Davidson; secretary-treasurer, .7. K. 

 Davidson.
