 Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleyeland, O. 



Thirty-fourth annual convention, Chicago, Jane 

 2 to 22. 1916. 



Thomas Tobin, vice-president of the 

 Missouri Se^d Co., Kansas City, Mo., has 

 been appointed a member of the city 

 health and hospital board. 



The Mount Sterling Seed Co., of Mount 

 Sterling, O., Ihas been incorporated at 

 $50,000 by I. F. Tabb, M. O. Cockrell, 

 J. H. Smith and J. L. Brown. 



Charles J. Bolgiano has provided $1,- 

 200 for the erection of a mess hall and 

 kitchen at Camp Conoy, conducted by the 

 boys' department of the Baltimore 

 Y. M. C. A. 



Such mail advices as are allowed to 

 come from European growers do not hold 

 out great encouragement as to seed sup- 

 plies for 1917 season. The indications 

 are that the conditions of last season will 

 be intensified. 



In the Nashville district turnip seed 

 has been harvested, the yield being good 

 this season. The acreage of cow peas 

 there biSs fair to be the smallest of 

 years, The local seedsmen report that 

 thie season has been prolonged so much 

 this year that sales have about equaled 

 the normal, although there was no rush 

 at any time. 



The war has resulted in the addition 

 of another clause in the terms of sale of 

 the European growers and wholesalers, 

 viz.: "Delivery to be made at usual 

 time unless prevented by war, blockade, 

 revolution, prohibition of export, riot, 

 civil commotion or force majeure. In 

 such case any order or unfulfilled part 

 of same to be canceled and no claim to 

 be made." 



Many business, financial and fraternal 

 organizations of Rochester, N. Y., have 

 adopted resolutions on the death of F. A. 

 Stecher, May 23, in his sixty-seventh year. 

 Mr. Stecher had many personal friends 

 as well as business acquaintances among 

 seedsmen, as the lithographic company 

 founded by him has made many catalogue 

 covers and is the trade's principal source 

 of supply on colorfe^ 4US^ pockots. 



What will the pansy seed situation be 

 this year? Of course, there are consid- 

 erable quantities of imported stock car- 

 ried over from late deliveries last season 

 that, if properly stored, are as good as 

 new seed, and there is an annual increase 

 in the production of American seed, but 

 the majority of the pansy seed used in 

 the United States still comes from Ger- 

 many. The British blockade is today 

 tighter than it was last year; then parcel 

 post shipments got through, but they are 

 not doing so now. 



In the Bermuda onion seed business, 

 says H. G. Hastings, of Atlanta, Ga., 

 there is nothing like the interest the seed 

 trade took in it a few years ago. The 

 growing of Bermuda onions in Texas has 

 passed' beyond the speculative stage and 

 has settled down to be a comparatively 

 steady business insofar as the acreage 

 planted each year is concerned and, judg- 

 ing from the results of marketing the 

 crop of 1916, there will be little varia- 

 tion, up or down, in the acreage planted 

 next autumn.
