HaBtings, Atlanta, Oa.; lec- retary-treasurer, C. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O. A PRECOCIOUS spring is causing counter trade to open earlier than in any recent year. Wholesale seedsmen at Cliicago report a heavy run of fill-in orders, indicating tliat their customers have been doing a good business. There is reported to be a great demand for lawn grass seed, which is explained as the result of the light winter, since lawns seem generally in poor condition. In his long experience in the seed business John P. Degnan cannot remem- ber a season so early as this one. It is, he says, two weeks ahead of any other he can recall. The birds in the city street and the chickens on the farm are having their annual treat. Voters have received the jiackets of seed sent as thoughtful remem- brances by their congressmen. The expectations of a heavy insecticide demand as the result of the open winter have not so far been fulfilled. Though the bugs have appeared earlier than usual, measures against them do not seem to have been correspondingly instituted. Establishing a selling service, G. Willett Warren, St. Louis, Mo., is under- taking, on a commission basis, the assist- ance of seed growers in that field and acting as a clearing house for jobbers in seeds, bulbs, nursery stock and allied lines. Since there are between 200 and 250 Holland bull) salesmen in this country, whose exi)ense9 here will, it is said, aver- age between $2,000 and $3,000 for the season, it may be calculated that half a million dollars will be spent to sell bulbs whose total value is about five times that sum. A. Henderson, Chicago, has lx?come a l>eliever in the psychology of the open door. He has demonstrated to his com- l)letc satisfaction that to do counter trade a seed store should have its door open to the public. Jf the store
