PKsldent, V. W. BolKtano, Washington, D. C; 

 ■ecretary-treasurer, 0. B. Kendel, Cleveland, O. ; 

 thirty-seventh annual convention. Hotel Sherman, 

 Chicago, June 24, 25, 26, 1810. 



H. Cresson Prichett, formerly with 

 the Indianapolis branch of the Southern 

 Seed Ck)., has joined the traveling staff 

 of the Everette R. Peacock Co., Chicago. 



C. R. Root, of the Colorado Seed Co., 

 Denver, Colo., was elected president of 

 the Denver Society of Ornamental Hor- 

 ticulture at a recent meeting of that or- 

 ganization. 



Considering the extrenifily heavy de- 

 mand for planting stock of all the pop- 

 ular varieties of gladiolus, it is apparent 

 that the bulb growers do not expect Quar- 

 antine No. 37 to be modified with respect 

 to gladioli next season. They are getting 

 ready to produce a larger number of 

 bulbs than America ever has used in one 

 season. 



Perhaps the most immediate result of 

 Quarantine No. 37 is that the Holland ex- 

 porters are establishing branches in Amer- 

 ica. Already three or four of the pro- 

 gressive Holland houses have established 

 bulb growing farms in this country, prin- 

 cipally for the production of gladiolus 

 and other bulbs which will be prohibited 

 entry when the quarantine goes into ef- 

 fect, but they no doubt will enter into 

 general competition with American 

 growers. 



CATAI.00 SIZES NOT APFECTED. 



Referring to the communication which 

 appeared in The Review, wherein the 

 superintendent of mails of the Baltimore 

 postoffice had advised J. Bolgiano & Son 

 that after March 31 no catalog under 

 eight ounces measuring more than 4x9 

 inches would be received by the Balti- 

 more office, the American Seed Trade 

 Association's committee on postal laws 

 investigated and had the following com- 

 munication from Third Assistant Post- 

 master General Dockery: 



"In reply to your communication of 

 the 31st ultimo, there are enclosed for 

 your information copies of circulars of 

 this office dated January 12 and June 

 3, 1918, regarding the use of envelopes 

 of unusual size or irregular shax)e, and 

 you are informed that it is desired that 

 patrons of the postal service will coop- 

 erate with the department in preparing 

 their mail so that it will be put up in 

 the best possible manner to facilitate 

 handling in the mails. Whenever it is 

 practicable to prepare matter so that it 

 can be enclosed in an envelope not ex- 

 ceeding 4x9 inches, this should be done. 

 The sender will thereby cause the mat- 

 ter to be handled more expeditiously, 

 thus benefiting both himself and the 

 postal service." 



You will see by this that the post- 

 office is only asking for cooperation in 

 matters of folders and light catalogs 

 that would be in no way injured by 

 folding. Their idea of getting a uni- 

 form sized emvelope was to give better 

 service in the handling of the mail. 

 W. F. Therkildson, 

 Chairman Postal Laws Committee.
