JuLx 23. 19U. the Florists'Review 07 Announcement of a New Seed Firm. ^STOffiS SEED FARMS COHPAHY^ On and after October 15th business of the firm of Walter P. Stokes will be taken over by the above named company, a corporation doing business under the laws of the State of New Jer- sey, while retail business will still continue to be carried on at 219 Market Street, Philadelphia. A fireproof building of steel and concrete construction is now in the course of erection at Moores- town, New Jersey, where the main office and warehouse of the new firm will be located. Stokes Seed Farms Company will with a few slight exceptions take over all of the out- standing seed contracts of Walter P. Stokes. Any slight changes which will be made will be taken care of individually. It will be the purpose of the new firm to specialize in the production and distribution of vege- table seeds. All those who are in close touch witk the situation know the enormous waste of effort and liability of error in the overloaded list of varieties which is almost universally catalogued today. In order, therefore, to put our business on a basis whereby the chance of error is reduced to a minimum, we expect to eliminate from our list all unnecessary varieties. With the purpose of knowing the pedigree of all of the vegetable seeds sold by us, we have purchased a farm at Moorestown, New Jersey, on which we expect to raise a considerable part of our stock seed as well as conducting extensive trials. While we do propose making a vigorous effort in the direction of seed improvement, all selecting and breeding work will be done with the idea of reaching the very highest development of standard recognized types rather than the intro- ducing of new names to further burden the list.
