Special Attention Given to Import Freight 

 Accounts in or out of Town Solicited 



of the American Seed Trade Associa- 

 tion, while not necessarily establishing 

 a precedent, marks only the second 

 time that a man has been twice elected 

 to that office, the other case being 

 Albert McCullough of Cincinnati. Mr. 

 Page's election is a tribute on the part 

 of the Association to a man who has 

 been one of the most devoted and 

 zealous in the interest of the Associa- 

 tion since his election to membership 

 some 24 years ago. Nevertheless, 

 many expressed surprise that it was 

 thought necessary to elect any man a 

 second time in view of the fact that 

 there were a number of aspiring dele- 

 gates who were perfectly willing to 

 serve the Association in the capacity 

 of President. 



We do not think that the method of 

 nominating candidates now followed 

 by the Association is any improve- 

 ment over the old plan of making the 

 nomination from the floor. In the 

 latter case, if a candidate has good 

 and sufficient reasons to offer against 

 his election, he can state his reasons 

 before the delegates go to the trouble 

 of practically electing him and then 

 compelling him to decline the election. 

 However, this is a matter for the As- 

 sociation to thrash out and we simply 

 offer these remarks as suggestions. 



The many graduates of the ancient 

 and honorable firm of Benjamin Reid 

 & Co., Aberdeen. Scotland, including 

 John Parquhar, George Watson, Dan 

 Carmichael and many others, will be 

 interested in the following clipping 

 from an exchange: 



"Benjamin Reid & CompaD.y, nureer.v- 

 men and seedsmen, 72 Guild street, have 

 received notice from the Lord Steward that 

 the Kin? haf? been graciously pleased to 

 srant them a warrant of appcintniont as 

 purve.vors of seeds and plants. The firm 

 was established over a centur.v ago. and 

 has extensive business connections, not 

 only all over the United Kingdom, hut also 

 the Continent and America." 



We extend our congratulations to 

 Mr. Duthie and his partners and wish 

 them continued prosperity in their 

 august career as "Royal Seedsmen."

An item omitted from our recent ac- 

 count of the Bronx Park Show, was 

 the exhibit of Chrysanthemum Seven 

 Oaks by John Miller, gardener for Mr. 

 L. C. Tiffany, Oyster Bay. N. Y. The 

 flowers were very fine, of great size 

 and evidently from disbudded plants.
