A PEACH! 



We had the pleasure, this week, of 

 sampling for the first time some fruit 

 of the Ray peach, grown by J. G. Har 

 rison & Sons of Berlin, Md. In size, 

 color, flavor and keeping qualities it 

 certainly bears out Mr. Harrison's de- 

 scription as a fruit. He states that in 

 point of vigor and bearing this peach 

 is in a class by itself over a very 

 large range of territory and condi- 

 tions. In point of sales of young trees 

 it already stands next to Elberta.

SEED TRADE 



n*nMnMnMnMnMn 



AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION 



Oflieers — President, Chas. C. Massle, 

 Minneapolis, Minn.; 1st vice-president, 

 J. M. Lupton, Mattltuck, N. T. ; 2nd 

 vice-president, W. F. Therkildson, 

 Palnesville, O. ; secretary, C. E. Kcn- 

 del; assistant secretary, S. F. Wlllard, 

 Jr., both of Cleveland, O. 



For the past few weeks we have 

 not furnished any seed notes of par- 

 ticular interest, for the reason that 

 crop news is about all that appeals to 

 Ihe trade at this time of year, and 

 most of the "news" of this character 

 from week to week is little else than 

 a repetition of the previous week's 

 budget. Now, however, matters have 

 progressed to a point where some idea 

 of probable results is possible, yet we 

 feel constrained to warn readers 

 against accepting possible results as 

 accomplished facts, as much damage 

 may overtake all crops before they 

 are safely in store. 



Cabbage and Turnip Crop. 

 Cabbage and turnip seed, are main- 

 ly harvested, and with varying yields, 

 though the net result seems to indi- 

 cate some shortage on the acreage put 

 out, but as there was a considerable in- 

 crease in acreage, the total crop will 

 no doubt be larger than a year ago. 

 The Long Island cabbage seed crop 

 has been fully up to average though it 

 is claimed that Ihe output was smaller. 

 We haven't anything authentic from 

 Puget Sound, but on such information 

 as we have we believe the crop is con- 

 siderably below early estimates. 



Pea Situation. 

 In the matter of peas, the situation 

 is not quite clear, but beyond question 

 there will be no bumper crop. There 

 may be some surplus of late varieties, 

 particularly of the telephone or large 

 podded type, but of the earlies, espe- 

 cially the "canners" sorts, there wil( 

 be no more than required, of good 

 pedigree stock. That there will be 

 the usual offerings of more or less de- 

 generate seed is certain and that there 

 will be the usual buyers who never 

 see any point but the price, is just as 

 certain. But little seed was raised by 

 the canners of New York State, but as 

 usual. Wisconsin has produced a con- 

 siderable quantity of Alaska seed of 

 more or less doubtful quality, most of 

 it totally unfit for canning purposes, 

 and should only be used as field peas. 

 Yet even this junk certain canners 

 will buy and plant it too. if the price 

 is sufficiently low. Of course they 

 pack only junk, and get the price of 

 junk. They have no pride of reputa- 

 tion and are positive barnacles on the 

 canning industry. However, this is 

 straying from our subject, and, with 

 apologies, we will return. 



Beans. 



Beans are at a stage where they are 

 as liable to go one way as another, but 

 present condition is not satisfactory. 

 Unless there is a marked improvement 

 the yield is liable to be below average. 

 And by the way there was a far small- 

 er carry over than seemed probable 

 even so late as April last. Whether 

 the truck farmers will raise any con-
