AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION 

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

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



The Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, held 

 its semiannual reunion last week, sixteen 

 of the company's salesmen being present. 



Beans may not yet be worth their 

 weight in gold, but Harris Bros. Seed Co.^ 

 Mt. Pleasant, Mich., set a number solitaire 

 in scarf pins as New Year's remembrances 

 for its friends in the seed trade. 



The approaching convention of can- 

 ners at Cleveland promises to break all 

 records for attendance, according to the 

 reservations made at the two leading 

 hotels. The seed trade will be largely 

 represented. 



The changes that time brings forth are 

 well shown by a letter from a large retail 

 seed house in England, recently received 

 by The Review, in which the English house 

 expresses its wish to get in touch with seed 

 growers in America. 



A meeting of the executive committee 

 of the American Seed Trade Association 

 will be held at the Hotel Vanderbilt, New 

 York, January 30. The principal busi- 

 ness will be the selection of the place for 

 the Juno convention and plans for a large 

 meeting there. 



The British trade press reports the 

 death of W. E. Bunting, of Colchester, 

 who was known to many American seeds- 

 men as a grower of special strains of vege- 

 table and flower seeds. One of his sons 

 is G. A. Bunting, of Bunting & Co., whole- 

 sale seed merchants, London. 



The L. L. Olds Seed Co., Madison, Wis., 

 follows a practice that is believed to be 

 decidedly unusual in the trade. A pre- 

 liminary edition of the general catalogue 

 is made up carrying the garden seed 

 pages only and is distributed about two 

 weeks earlier than the complete catalogue. 

 The 1917 edition of the garden seed book 

 consists of thirty-two pages and the cover, 

 while the general book will be ninety-six 

 pages and cover. 



J. BoLGiAXO & Son, Baltimore, were 

 well represented at the annual convention 

 of seed analysts at New York last week. 

 Miss Jesse L. Anderson, in charge of the 

 seed laboratory ; J. Henry Joyeux, in 

 charge of the field seed department, and 

 Morris Robinson, who has charge of the 

 retail store, were in attendance. Bolgiano 

 & Son claim to have the most complete 

 private laboratory for the testing of seeds 

 in the United States. 



W. Cuthbertson, of the Edinburgh 

 seed house of Dobbie & Co., well known 

 to the trade in America, who has done 

 splendid service in recent years as presi- 

 dent of the Horticultural Trades' Asso- 

 ciation of Great Britain, has tendered his 

 resignation for the reason that ' ' the asso- 

 ciation requires, at the present moment, 

 a president who is an enthusiastic tariff
