Resolutions in reference to the death 

 of William Henry Maule were adopt- 

 ed, as follows: 



It is with sorrow that we record the 

 sudden death on Septemher .3, 1913, of Wm. 

 Henrv Maule. Doing exclusively a busi- 

 ness 'with planters. Mr. Maule's firm was 

 not a memhcr of the Wholes;ile Seedmen s 

 League. Mr.' Maule was. however, one of 

 the orisinal mr-mhers of the American 

 Seedsmen's Protective Association, out or 

 which this League was formed. He was 

 always active In co-operation with the 

 League's efforts for the betterment of the 

 seed trade. It is fitting, therefore, that 

 we should adopt the following resolution: 

 RESOLVED, That by the sudden death 

 of Wm. Henrv Maule, the seed trade has 

 lost one of its most progressive, useful 

 and distinguished members. The Whole- 

 sale Seedsmen's League have lost the 

 sound counsel and hearty cooperation of 

 one with whom it was ever .1 pleasure to 

 consult. 



Wm. Henry Maule was a big-hearted, 

 whole-souled man. and as a faithful, loyal 

 friend he will he greatly missed by a wide 

 elrde. 



It is our earnest hope and belief that 

 the splendid seed business which he built 

 »p may long continue under his name in 

 the fine new building he had Just com- 

 pleted and remain an enduring memorial 

 to his ahllitv and Integrity of character. 

 EESOLVED, That a copy of these 

 minutes be sent to his family with ex- 

 pression of our deepest sympathy. 



New Zealand Peas. 



Horticulture: 



Gentlemen: We would like to make 

 a correction regarding the "Crop 

 Notes" in your issue Oct. 18th, which 

 are incorrect and misleading so far as 

 New Zealand peas are concerned. Your 

 correspondent states that peas in New 

 Zealand are harvested about the first 

 of the year, which is not correct. They 

 are harvested during April and March, 

 which correspond in New Zealand — 

 being situated in the Southern Hemis- 

 phere — with our months October and 

 November, and are cleaned and pre- 

 pared for shipment in June. 



As shipments from New Zealand to 

 New York take about two months the 

 new crop reaches the United States 

 about August. The surpluses offered 

 now are of crop 1913. They are har- 

 vested about six months before the 

 American or European crops, but can- 

 not be called "last year's" and their

 Danish specialties, as cabbage, cauli- 

 flower, sprouts, carrots, garden beets 

 and garden turnips, as well as parsley, 

 radish, spinach, turnips and mangels.

 seeds had ample time for their de- 

 velopment, are well ripened and look 

 healthy and plump.
