SEED TRADE. 



The twenty-third annual report of 

 the American Seed Trade Association 

 has been published. It includes the 

 proceedings at the convention held at 

 Alexandria Bay, N. Y., June 20, 21 and 

 22, 1905. 



The following advertisement ap- 

 peared in a local Wisconsin paper: 

 "We are in the market tor all vari- 

 eties of peas. Prices right. Terms 

 cash. Call at our new warehouse, foot 

 of Portage street. The John H. Allan 

 Seed Co." 



A new packing and shipping depart- 

 ment is being installed in Michell's, 

 in the rear of the first floor and the 

 sub-basement of 1018 Market street, 

 Philadelphia. To provide (or the room 

 thus cut out, the fourth floor of 10:^0 

 Market street has been rented and will 

 be used for the storage of field seeds, 

 insecticides, fertilizers, etc. 



J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York, 

 must move again next spring, as the 

 building they occupy is in some way 

 involved in the great subway schemes. 



Free seeds have become the subject 

 of stage jokes. Wm. H. Crane, as Mr. 

 John Brewster in "The American 

 Lord," a wealthy ranchman of the Da- 

 kotas, is urged by his friends to run 

 for Congress. He hesitates, but after 

 listening to the argument of the cow- 

 boy committee which waits on him, de- 

 cides to accept the nomination, and 

 enumerating the privileges and per- 

 quisites he will enjoy as an M. C, 

 mentions among others "a free pass 

 over every railroad in the country 

 tucked away in my wallet, and unlimit- 

 ed free seeds for everybody." The joke 

 seems to be on the seedsmen.
