J. W. Edmondson, manager of the Cal- 

 ifornia Seed Growers' Association, San 

 Jose, Cal., was in Chicago last week. 



As prices in canned goods continue to 

 advance, canners are feeling more pros- 

 perous than they have for several sea- 

 sons. 



Mrs. W. T. Philipps, wiffe of the well 

 known seedsman of Toledo, has been 

 spending the week in Chicago visiting 

 relatives. 



S. F. Leonard, of the Leonard Seed 

 Co., Chicago, is visiting several large 

 cities in the middle west to look after 

 some important interests. 



Steamers from Marseilles are bringing 

 considerable quantities of seeds of the 

 varieties on which the French government 

 has placed no export' restrictions. 



W. W. HoisiNGTON, of the Leonard 

 Seed Co., Chicago, spent November 20 

 and 21 at Minneapolis, attending the 

 Minnesota canners' convention. 



More than one seed dealer has figured 

 it out that the demand for seeds this 

 season will be sufficient to permit some 

 measure of economy in catalogue distri- 

 bution. 



The Wisconsin canners' convention, 

 held in Milwaukee, November 13 to 16, 

 was most successful in every way. Good 

 business, both as concerns immediate 

 shipments and future contracts, is gen- 

 erally reported. 



The boat from Eotterdam which 

 reached New York November 17 brought 

 538 cases of valley pips, sixty cases con- 

 signed to a forwarding agent and 478 

 cases consigned to a Holland bulb house 

 that has a permanent representative in 

 New York. 



The following will be among those 

 present at the Indiana canners' conven- 

 tion at Indianapolis November 23 and 24: 

 Arnold Eingier, W. W. Barnard Co., Chi- 

 cago; A. H. Smitli, Leonard Seed Co., 

 Chicago; Chas. Guelph, Jerome B. Rice 

 Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y. 



It is reported from New Zealand that 

 the harvest of rye grass and cocksfoot 

 will be good, but these crops are not 

 gathered until the new year, so that it is 

 too early to make promises in the matter. 

 Conditions, however, are said to have 

 been favorable up to the end of October. 



Inquiries for all kinds of seeds and 

 onion sets are coming in heavily, while 

 prices steadily advance. It is expected 

 that there will be many shortages and 

 disappointments this year, as it is certain 

 there are not enough seeds to supply the 

 demand, which will undoubtedly be fur- 

 ther stimulated by the high cost of all 

 food products. 



The tenth annual convention of the 

 Minnesota Canners' Association was 

 held at Hotel Radisson, Minneapolis, 

 November 20 and 21. Minnesota is 

 coming to the front in the matter of 

 packing sugar corn and the meeting 

 was attended by representatives of sev- 

 eral seed houses that make a specialty 

 of canners' varieties of sweet corn.

 18. 



The Indiana state canners' convention 

 ■will be held at Indianapolis, November 

 23 and 24, at the Claypool hotel. These 

 meetings have in previous years been 

 good and are considered second only to 

 the Wisconsin convention. 



The Holland salesmen are landing at 

 New York from every Eotterdam boat 

 and within a few weeks there will be 

 about 125 of these energetic gentlemen 

 searching out the bulb buyers. They 

 come instructed to get materially higher 

 prices than last year. 



The high prices of all food products 

 insure an unusual demand for all vege- 

 table and field seeds for the 1917 season. 

 In view of the fact that seed stocks in 

 general are the smallest in years, the 

 present prices of seeds are more than 

 justified by the economic situation.
