AMEKICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATIOK. 



President, Klrby B. White, Detroit, Mich.; 

 Secretary-Treasurer, C. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O. 



Thirty-flftli unuual convention, Detroit, June 10 

 to 21, 1917.

Visited Chicago: James Smalley, of 

 McPherson, Kan. 



The government crop experts liave fig- 

 ured the acreage of Bermuda onions in 

 Texas this year as 11,853, as compared 

 to 10,057 last year. 



B. F. Brown, of the Brown Bag-Filling 

 Machine Co., says the seed packet depart- 

 ment of the factory is full up with or- 

 ders and working twenty-four hours per 

 day. 



Therk are several seed catalogues 

 printed in German, but probably the 

 only one in America printed in the Hun- 

 garian language is that of Kallay Bros. 

 Co., Painesville, O. 



Although the Senate committee omit- 

 ted the provision for free seeds when re- 

 porting the agricultural appropriation 

 bill, it was put back in the bill before 

 the bill was sent to conference. 



The big freeze in the south, com- 

 mented on last week as having been felt 

 in a quick demand upon seedsmen, has 

 proved a greater factor than was fore- 

 seen. The losses appear to have been 

 great and widely distributed. 



C. A. I^URNHAM, sales manager for 

 Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis, says 

 that, although prices are high, he does 

 not expect there will be such a shortage 

 of seeds this season as will keep anyone 

 from planting, if not the preferred ar- 

 ticle, then something "just as good." 

 He expects a general broadening of the 

 demand because of the propaganda for 

 the diversification of crojis in the north- 

 ern state?. 



Thomas J. Grey Co., Boston, is start- 

 ing the 1917 f^eason in a new home at 

 16 and 17 South Market street, where 

 the building has been remodeled with a 

 new front and two additional stories. 

 Thomas ,T. Grey no longer has any con- 

 nection with the company, the officers 

 of whicli are: President. J. P. A. Guer- 

 ineau; vice-president, R. E. Montgomery; 

 treasurer, Arthur F. Barney; secretary, 

 Peter M. Miller. Tlie business is entirely 

 retail. 



The f-eedsmcn 's representatives who 

 attended the canners' convention at 

 Cleveland last week were not in position 

 to accept any considerable part of the 

 spot delivery business that was offered, 

 except on peas, which were not in spe- 

 cial request, but a pleasant time was 

 enjoyed by all when it came to booking 

 future orders. It was the largest meet- 

 ing of canners yet held and practically 

 every seed house that caters to this class 

 of trade was represented by one or more 

 salesmen. Prices formed the chief topic 

 of conversation and it was the consensus 

 that one is safe in buying at present 

 prices anything nature produces.
