The Florists' Review

analysts more than it does the work of 

 our association. I recommend that Mr. 

 Smith be retained as counsel for the 

 seed trade. » 



At a meeting of the National Asso- 

 ciation of Seed Analyists a motion was 

 carried to appoint a committee to go 

 further intoythe seed law and asking 

 that a HJmilftr committee be appointed 

 by the American Seed Trade Association, 

 to cooperate. I therefore recommend 

 that such a committee be appointed 

 at the earliest moment. This committee 

 should have power to act for this as- 

 sociation. 



AfSIiation Needed. 



In May we received from the South- 

 ern Seedjsn^n's Association an invita- 

 tion to attend their convention at Mont- 

 gomery, Ala. We thought it both wise 

 and profitable to accept this invita- 

 tion. At the same time we were in- 

 formed that our counsel, Curtis Nye 

 Smith, was asked to make an address 

 at the same conventiou. There can 

 hardly be any doubt that our associa- 

 tion must in some way form a oonnec- 

 tion with the local seed trade bodies 

 that are springing up all over the coun- 

 try. At Montgomery we found a live, 

 wide-awake bunch of inen who give 

 great promise of a large future useful- 

 ness, but unless we can in some way act 

 with them we' may find that they, not 

 having the experience of our long years 

 in the work, make mistakes that will be 

 costly to the whole seed tra<le. We 

 must remember that the seedsman 

 claims the world as his parish and what 

 affects even the least of these affects 

 the greatest. We therefore recommend 

 that a committee, either a standing 

 committee or a special committee, be 

 instructed to see if some working plan 

 may be devised and that they may be 

 asked at least to contribute to the neces- 

 sary expenses. We feel sure they are 

 too honorable to do otherwise. 



From lack of funds it was thought 

 advisable to discontinue the "Bulletin" 

 for a while, but we feel that it is going 

 to be and should be a great factor in 

 our trade and funds should in some way 

 be provided for its continuance.
