Thirty-fourth annual convention, CbicaKO. June 

 20 to 22, 1816. 



The obituary column this week carries 

 the announcement of the death of A. E. 

 Brown, who frequently has represented 

 W. Atlee Burpee & Co. at seed trade 

 meetings. 



With the peak of normal seasons only 

 ten days away, the mail ordei' seed trade 

 is lagging; business is good, but not so 

 good as it was expected to be. The post- 

 ponement of spring is blamed for it and 

 a grand rush is looked for when the 

 weather warms up. 



Among the seedsmen who attended the 

 recent Chicago disclaimer conference the 

 consensus of opinion was that next year 

 will see seed supplies considerably shorter 

 than this season. This is based on the 

 belief that increased production at home 

 and in neutral countries will not make 

 up for a further reduction in imports 

 from the countries tKat are at war. 



H. N. Bruns, of Chicago, who recently 

 was given a permit by the British gov- 

 ernment for the importation via Eotter- 

 dam of some millions of G}erman valley 

 pips, decided not to trust the stock on a 

 boat without cold storage and ordered it 

 shipped via Copenhagen. The complica- 

 tions that ensued are described in the 

 Chicago news letter elsewhere in this 

 issue. 



The Illinois Seed Co., Chicago, has pur- 

 chased from the Chicago Telephone Co. 

 and others 393x126 feet on the Balti- 

 more & Ohio tracks at Forty-first Avenue 

 and Fillmore street, and plans to improve 

 it in the near future with a large plant 

 for the handUng of grass seeds. It re- 

 cently was reported in this column that 

 the leased property now occupied by Mr. 

 Greene's concern has been sold to become 

 a part of a railroad terminal. 



THE CATALOGUE POSTAGE BILL. 



Following the visit of W. F. Ther- 

 kildson and E. C. Duncan, of Philadel- 

 phia, to members of Congress and offi- 

 cials of the Postoffice Department, 

 Senator Bankhead has introduced a 

 bill in the Senate identical with that 

 introduced in the House by Congress- 

 man Tague, providing for the mailing 

 of catalogues and other similar printed 

 matter, now mailable under eight 

 ounces in weight at the third-class rate 

 of 1 cent for two ounces or fraction 

 thereof, at a pound rate of 8 cents, the 

 rate on individually addressed copies 

 or parcels to be not less than 1 cent 

 each. The text of this bill was printed 

 in The Review of March 2, the clause 

 providing for the minimum payment 

 of 1 cent on each piece of mail matter 

 having been added in the Senate bill. 

 It is expected that this will meet any 

 objections that may be offered by the 

 postal officials on the ground that the 

 proposed measure would result in a 

 loss of revenue. • C. L. L.
