AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATIOir 

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

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



Arnold Ringier, of the W. W. Bar- 

 nard Co., Chicago, left for Los Angeles, 

 Cal., January 6. 



Thk new prices announced by the 

 American Can Co. mean an advance of 

 16 cents per dozen for 3s. 



The blockade restriction promulgated 

 October 6, preventing the importation of 

 grass seeds into Norway, has been can-- 

 celed. 



According to A. H. Smith, of the 

 Leonard Seed Co., Cliicago, the onion set 

 market is firm, with lieavy inquiries com- 

 ing in, especially from the south. 



The arrival of the first flock of 1917 

 catalogues indicates that an extremely 

 small percentage of the trade has accepted 

 the action of the American Seed Trade 

 Association in recommending the adop- 

 tion of the cental system. 



The first edition of Burpee's Annual 

 for 1917 is 600,000 copies. "Such a 

 large edition," says a pink slip, "must 

 nei-cssarily go to press before the result 

 of the season's liarvest is definitely 

 known. Sweet corn is tlie shortest crop 

 in years. Owing to the scarcity of first- 

 class sweet corn," the prices ])rinted in 

 the book are revised as per the insert. 



MORSE'S SWEET PEA NOTES. 



Edited by Lester L. Morse, C. C. 

 Morse & Co., San Francisco, who have 

 jjerhaps as wide a knowledge of sweet 

 peas as anyone in America, have issued 

 a new book of "Field Notes," brought 

 down to include the season of 1916. The 

 issue lists 1.S70 names, with data re- 

 garding each. It is by far the most 

 complete record to date'and in addition 

 to the descriptions there are lists of pre- 

 ferred varieties in eadi class and color. 

 There also are several cultural and his- 

 torical iirticles. It makes a l)ook of 220 

 pages. In order to make the work a 

 not too great expense, a price of $1.50 

 has been jiut on the book. 



BIDS ON FREE SEEDS. 



The lack of foreign proposals was the 

 principal feature at tlie opening of the 

 bids for vegetable and flower seeds for 

 the Congressional distribution of 1918 

 by the Department of Agriculture at 

 Washington January 9. The only for- 

 eign bidder was Denaiffe & Son, Carig- 

 nan, France, who put in a bid through 

 Charles Johnson, of Berkeley, Cal. In 

 this respect the war made a noticeable 

 difference in the bidding. The number 

 of bidders was reduced to about two- 

 thirds the number who made offers last 

 year and the prices are noticeably 

 higher. A number of seedsmen from 

 the Pacific coast and eastern points at- 

 tended the opening of the bids, includ-
