Seed Trade News 



AMEBICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. 



President, F. W. Bolgiano, Washington, D. C. ; 

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



J. C. KoBiNSON, of the Eobinson Seed 

 Co., Waterloo, Neb., spent his vacation 

 at Akeley, Minn. 



Eecord is made under "Obituary" of 

 the death last week of Ludwig Teweles, 

 of Milwaukee, Wis. 



HoLLAXD exporters now make the un- 

 qualified statement that bulbs will be 

 shipped to America as usual this season. 



We are threatened with meatless days 

 to follow the whcatless meals and there 

 are reports that almost beetless days are 

 in prospect. 



Now that seed selling has ceased for 

 the season, the trade is taking hold of 

 the many problems connected with next 

 year's supply. Seed stocks never have 

 been so severely depleted, nor sources of 

 supply so restricted. 



The a. a. Berry Seed Co., Clarinda, 

 la., now is classed as a million dollar 

 concern, the sales for last season having 

 run into seven figures. At the stock- 

 holders ' meeting July 10 steps were taken 

 to increase the capital stock from $300,- 

 000 to $500,000. 



Articles of incorporation for the 

 Cache Valley Seed Co., of Smithficld, 

 Utah, providing for an authorized capital 

 stock of $25,000, have been filed with the 

 secretary of state by J. C. McCann, presi- 

 dent; W. H. Smith, vice-president; R. H. 

 Smith, secretary-treasurer. 



There will be considerable difference 

 in the cost of Japanese bulbs this season, 

 due to differences in the cost of freight. 

 Those who some time ago contracted for 

 steamer space will save money by it. It 

 is said the present rate is four times what 

 large shippers paid before the war. 



A HEAVY hail storm visited Eocky 

 Ford, L>olu., July 3. In the Arkansas val- 

 ley, where is planted a large acreage of 

 seed crops, the storm did heavy damage. 

 Cucumbers and melons were especially 

 hard hit. Some garden beans also were 

 damaged. As a result of the storm the 

 supply of seeds from this district will 

 be short. 



There seems to be considerable di- 

 versity of opinion as to the condition of 

 jieas in Wisconsin. They were reported 

 good in late June, but last week a well 

 known seedsman was quoted as having 

 said July 6 that he had talked to many 

 canners, none of whom expected over 

 two-thirds of a crop, most of them much 

 less. But July 13 the IT. S. Bureau of 

 Crop Estimates issued a report of condi- 

 tion as of July 1, putting the Wisconsin 

 pea crop at eighty-four per cent, against 

 sixty-eight a year ago. The Michigan 

 canners' pea crop is put at eighty-two 

 per cent, against seventy a year ago. The 

 correspondents were asked to estimate on 

 the basis of 100 representing normal.
