has yet opened ou time, and we are 

 yet to be convinced that this one will 

 be. Consequently, those who expect 

 to see the exposition may as well de- 

 cide to go at a later date, for it begins 

 to look more and more improbable 

 that the convention will go to Cali- 

 fornia. 



Chicago Seed Notes. 



Chicago mail this week is bringing 

 the inevitable free seed packages 

 from the United States Department ot 

 Agriculture. 



Some of the Chicago seed houses 

 report delay in receiving imported 

 and home-grown stock this week 

 owing to the severe storms in the 

 East. 



The continued cold weather and the 

 snow which still lingers prevents any 

 marked change in local sales. Seed 

 packets are about completed and re- 

 tail seed stores are rapidly getting 

 into readiness for the sudden change 

 to spring, which usually occurs here, 

 and which seldom finds our seedmen 

 napping. Traveling salesmen are re- 

 porting good prospects for the coming 

 season, backed up with substantial 

 orders for their respective houses. 



A Spencer Watts, president of Hills- 

 don, Watts, Ltd., Mascot, Sydney, 

 Australia, wholesale seed growers and 

 palm seed exporters, is in Chicago on 

 his first trip to the United States. 

 Mr. Watts has been as far as England 

 twice before in the interest of his firm, 

 and this time combined sight-seeing 

 with business and with ATrs. Watts is 

 making an extensive tour ot this coun- 

 try. They use half a million young 

 palms in their local trade in addition 

 to those shipped to long distances, but 

 so far none of the plants have been 

 shipped to America, trade with this 

 country being confined to the export- 

 ing of palm seeds. 



Notes. 

 The Annual Convention of the Cana- 

 dian Seed Growers' Association is be- 

 ing held on Thursday and Friday of 

 this week at Ottawa, Ont. 



George C. Watson's annual importa- 

 tion of grass seed for lawns and per- 

 manent pasture has arrived on the S. 

 S. Zyldyk at Philadelphia. This Is 

 an important item tor the dealers in 

 imported grasses in this country, the 

 majority of whom place their orders 

 through Mr. Watson.
