T. Sakata, of Sakata Nurserieq, Kana- 

 gawa, Japan, is in the United States to 

 see who wants lily bulbs. 



L. L. May, of St. Paul, who is in the 

 south for his health, is reported as 

 greatly benefited by the change. 



The canners say the 1916 acreage of 

 peas will be reduced materially and one 

 hears of several packers offering seed 

 peas. 



Geowees are not finding it at all easy 

 to get the bean acreage they need this 

 year. The 1916 crop will almost cer- 

 tainly be short. 



Charles N. Page, who has wintered in 

 southern California, is planning to at- 

 tend the Chicago convention of the Amer- 

 ican Seed Trade Association. 



In spite of the general shortage of 

 seeds, so much talk^ about during the 

 winter, customers are not turned away 

 from any ^eed store without something 

 to plant. 



The British trade press is felicitating 

 the country over the fact that the author- 

 ities are drawing tighter the embargo 

 against Gterman seeds exported through 

 neutral ports. 



Labor shortage steadily becomes a 

 more important factor with the European 

 growers of seeds, bulbs and nursery stock, 

 affecting those in Holland and Denmark 

 as well as in the countries that are at 

 war. 



The Bloomfield Nursery & Seed Co., of 

 which H. B. Engleman is president, is a 

 new concern at Monticello, Fla. A spe- 

 cialty is made of watermelon seed, some 

 500 acres being grown under contract for 

 seed only, no melons being shipped. 



The Western Seedsmen's Association 

 held its annual meeting April 22, at 

 the Eome hotel, Omaha, Neb. After the 

 meeting the members sat down to a 

 five-course banquet and later enjoyed 

 an automobile ride through the city. 



The Dutch bulb salesmen are start- 

 ing for home. Some of them are taking 

 the usual route through England, but a 

 majority are awaiting the sailing of a 

 Dutch steamer. They all say they have 

 had an excellent season in the United 

 States in spite of some difficulties result- 

 ing from 1915 crop bulbs failing to 

 flower as expected. 



There is fair prospect that the June 

 convention of the American Seed Trade 

 Association will break all records for at- 

 tendance. While there are no vital ques- 

 tions before the trade this season, save 

 the one of keeping the business going on 

 a profitable basis, Chicago is so centrally 

 located that nearly everybody will come 

 to swap experiences and pick up infor- 

 mation. 



SEED EXPORTS INCREASE. 



Exports of vegetable seeds and of 

 certain flower seeds from the United 

 States are on the increase, according to 

 official figures. Excluding cotton seed, 

 flaxseed, grass and clover seeds, the fol- 

 lowing are the exports of "all other"
