 purpose of delivering bulbs in the summer time.

ARTHUR T. BODDINGTON, 342 West 14th St., NEW YORK CITY 



Seed Trade, 



Unfavorablp reports about the pea 

 crop are arriving, and some specific 

 Instances of serious damage are given. 

 A letter from one of the leading can- 

 ners who is located in Michigan, says 

 he has lost 200 acres of peas through 

 the rotting of the seed, and that much 

 of his other acreage is more or less 

 "spotted." Other reports from Michi- 

 gan and from other sections, though 

 less specific than that cited, all tend 

 to show that peas are not in fine con- 

 dition, and in fact have started with 

 considerable of a handicap. As the 

 situation develops, the facts will be 

 given in HORTICULTURE. 



Weather conditions are much im- 

 proved since the advent of June, but 

 are still quite unsatisfactory. Much 

 re-planting of corn and beans is re- 

 ported and, in the seed corn districts 

 of C!onnecticut, this is being done on 

 an extended scale as seed of the first 

 plantings has quite generally rotted in 

 the ground. 



Vine seeds are now being planted, 

 but under more or less unfavorable 

 conditions. Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., 

 report the situation as very unsatis- 

 factory in Washington County, New 

 York. 



It is significant that not a single 

 seed crop is considered to be in really 

 fine condition. This is a danger signal 

 which the thoughtful seedsmen will 

 not ignore. 



There is still a possibility of Rennie 

 & Thompson of Providence, adjusting 

 matters, and continuing in business, 

 although there may be some change in 

 the personnel of the firm. Nothing has 

 been decided, however, though a defi- 

 nite decision will hare to be reached 

 soon. 



A liberal fund has been raised for 

 the entertainment of the seedsmen at 

 their forthcoming convention, but how 

 to spend it to the best advantage is 

 troubling the Committee on Enter- 

 tainment. Part of the Committee ad- 

 vocate spending it on one grand ban- 

 quet, while others think a good din- 

 ner, with not too much spent for 

 liquids would be more satisfactory, as 

 it would leave a considerable balance

to be expended in other ways. In 

 view of the fact that not over half 

 of those present will drink wines or 

 liquors of any kind, much of the 

 money spent for this part of the din- 

 ner will be wasted, and while not de- 

 siring to "butt in" or offer advice, the 

 opinion is ventured that a moderate- 

 priced dinner will be much more satis- 

 factory to the great majority of those 

 who will attend the convention.
