AMEBICAN SEED TKADE ASSOOIATIOM' 

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

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



Edward Leonard, of the Leonard 

 Seed Co., Chicago, has been confined to 

 his bed by an attack of the grip. 



Among the few catalogues received 

 quoting all seeds by the pound, is the 1917 

 catalogue of the Leonard Seed Co., Chi- 

 cago. 



Despite the Dutch embargo, the Sluis 

 Seed Store, Chicago, received a small 

 shipment of Spinach seed from Holland 

 last week. 



James E. Clark, recently in charge of 

 the Jefferson Park retail market garden- 

 er store of the Leonard Seed Co.. Chicago, 

 has joined the staff of the Everette R. 

 Peacock Co., which is steadily extending 

 its operations in the section north and 

 west of Chicago. 



"The seed question is becoming more 

 serious each day," say J. Bolgiano & 

 Son, Baltimore. "Seed growers find 

 their crops did not yield what they had 

 estimated, and seed merchants are realiz- 

 ing their great shortage. Already many 

 varieties of garden seed are almost ex- 

 hausted. Never has the whole world faced 

 such conditions." 



Among the visitors in Chicago last 

 week were J. W. Edmondson, of the Cali- 

 fornia Seed Growers' Co., San Jose, Cal., 

 accompanied by Mrs. Edmondson; A. 

 Woodruff, of S. D. Woodruff & Sons, Or- 

 ange, Conn., and J. S. Michael, of the 

 Sioux City Seed & Nursery Co., Sioux 

 City, la., who had just come from Wash- 

 ington, D. C, where they were bidding 

 on the government seed contracts.
