Wisconsin peas are in excellent condi- 

 tion and a fine crop is expected. 



Nasturtium is one of the items on 

 which the American seed trade is likely 

 soon to become self-reliant. 



The growing season is late practically 

 everywhere, but most seed crops look 

 fairly well and promise at least moder- 

 ately well. 



The Chicago onion set crop looks fa- 

 vorable at the present time, although still 

 a little backward. With good weather 

 from now on a fair crop is expected. 



How long will the supply of valley 

 pips last? In spite of decreased use of 

 cut valley this season, most forcers are 

 within sight of the end of their resources. 



The large attendance at last month's 

 seed trade convention was the result of 

 many houses sending an unusual number 

 of representatives. Several members wore 

 represented by three or four men, while 

 one of the concerns seeking seedsmen 's 

 patronage had as many as seven solicitors. 



The California growers say the hot 

 weather recently experienced has had a 

 further unfavorable effect on the radish 

 crop. With reduced imports from France, 

 it looks as though a surplus of radish will 

 be good property next season. The im- 

 ports in the six months ended December 

 31, 1916, were only 41,92.3 pounds, against 

 309,417 pounds in the year ending June 

 30, 1916, 



VOLUNTARY SEED CONTROL, 



[An oxtrnrt from an address by George 11. 

 Clark. Canadian seed commissioner, before tlie 

 American Seed Trade Association at Detroit, 

 June 20.] 



Seed control, whether voluntary or 

 enforced by law, presupposes a condi- 

 tion in the commerce of seeds that is in 

 need of regulation in the interests of 

 agriculture and horticulture, or of the 

 trade itself. Seed control is now gen- 

 erally considered to be necessary in 

 most agricultural countries as a means 

 of self-protection, because countries 

 that are without seed control may eas- 

 ily become the dumping ground for 

 seeds of a quality that may not be 

 marketed in those countries where the 

 seed trade is subject to regulation. 



The European System. 



In the older countries of Europe vol- 

 untary eyetems of seed control grew out
