Stumpp & Walter Co., New York, has 

 leased the 6-story building at 30 and 32 

 Barclay street and will remove to it 

 about September 1. 



While the seed trade organizations 

 hold their periodical conventions behind 

 closed doors can there be any complaint 

 at legislative regulation of the seed 

 business? 



British trade papers lay the high 

 prices of Boman hyacinths to the demand 

 from America and believe that if prices 

 have now reached a point where America 

 will not buy heavily an early fall in 

 prices will result. 



Articles of incorporation have teen 

 filed for the Bosenstiel Co., Free port, ill., 

 to do a wholesale and retail business in 

 seeds, grain, fuel, and building mate- 

 rials. 'Ihe incorporators are E. O. Bosen- 

 stiel, J. H. Bosenstiel and Grace Bosen- 

 stiel. The amount of capitalization is 

 $30,000. 



The Amzi Godden Seed Co., of Bir- 

 mingham, Ala., recently filed with the 

 city commissioners a request that the so- 

 called restricted district be abolished. In 

 the request it was stated that the firm 

 was unable to sell some of its property 

 at a satisfactory price because the re- 

 stricted district is located across the 

 street. 



At a recent meeting of the stockhold- 

 ers of the North Wisconsin Seed Co., 

 held at Eau Claire, the prospects for this 

 year were reported to be excellent. The 

 warehouse and seed farm of this com- 

 pany are at Conrath, in Busk county; 

 the offices are at Chetek, Weyerhauser 

 and Eau Claire. The officers are: Presi- 

 dent, B. F. Faast; vice-president, C. W. 

 Dinger; secretary, C. H. Paris; treas- 

 urer, John Bauman. 



Bepresentative Hinebauoh, of Illi- 

 nois, has introduced into Congress a bill 

 (H. B. 5308) under the provisions of 

 which all persons, firms or corporations 

 in the 'United States conducting a mail- 

 order business interstate for the purpose 

 of selling merchandise direct to the con- 

 sumer shall pay a tax of one per cent 

 upon the total cash value of all merchan- 

 dise sold within any state. This would 

 affect the interstate business of the 

 catalogue seed and bulb houses and would 

 result in quite an expense to them. 



The United States Civil Service Com- 

 mission has announced that an examina- 

 tion will be held in various parts of the 

 country July 16 to secure a seed

 Industry, Department of Agriculture, at

 prerequisite for consideration for the po- 

 sition. The age of applicants should be 

 between 18 and 40 years.
