In Memoriam. 



The closing session Thursday included 

 the reading of the report of the obituary 

 committee on the following members 

 who had died during the past year and 

 to whom President Dungan had referred 

 in his address: James C. Tait, presi- 

 dent of Geo. Tait & Sons, Norfolk, Va.; 

 A. J. and H. A. Simmers, of J. A. Sim- 

 mers & Sons, Toronto, Canada; W. 

 Frank Jones, of Caldwell & Jones, Hart- 

 ford, Conn.; Nathan Dickinson, of the 

 Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago; Patrick 

 O'Mara, of Peter Henderson & Co., 

 New York city; Jacob and La Fayette 

 Funk, of the Funk Bros. Seed Co., 

 Bloomington, El.; F. W. Bruggerhof, of 

 J. M. Thorburn & Co., Ne\y York city, 

 and Charles W. Crosman, of Crosman 

 Bros. Co., Eochester, N. T. 



Letters were read from W. W. Gil- 

 bert, pathologist of the United States 

 Department of Agriculture, and F. A. 

 Vickers, secretary of the National 

 Pickle Packers' Association, asking 

 that the seedsmen discontinue listing in 

 their catalogues the seed of the wild 

 cucumber, used as an ornamental vine, 

 because of its tendency to spread the 

 disease of cucumber mosaic. Though 

 individuals expressed themselves as 

 willing to comply with this request, the 

 association deferred action upon it. 



Where Do We Go from Here? 



Clifford Corneli, of the Schisler- 

 €orneli Seed Co., St. Louis, Mo., read, 

 adding his own persuasive comment, 

 invitations from the mayor and various 

 commercial organizations of St. Louis 

 to the association to hold its next con- 

 vention in that city. Invitations from 

 New York, Chicago and Portland, Ore., 

 were also announced. The choice will 

 be made later by the executive com- 

 mittee. The auditing committee, con- 

 sisting of R. F. Lyon, of the H. G. 

 Hastings Co.. Atlanta, Ga., Francis C. 

 Stokes and H. L. Holmes, Jr., of the 

 Holmes-Letherman Seed Co., Canton, 0., 

 placed its customary O. K. on the treas- 

 urer's report. Because of lack of time, 

 the reading of the crop reports was dis- 

 pensed with. 



For Health and Wealth. 



In the final moments of the session, 

 after E. C. Dungan had handed the 

 gavel to the new president, H. G. Hast- 

 ings, Theodore Cobb, of D. M. Ferry & 

 Co., Detroit, showed himself as facile 

 with presentation speeches as with 

 castanets. First, in order to facilitate 

 the return of the retiring president, E. 

 C. Dungan, to full health and normal 

 weight, Mr. Cobb tendered him, on be- 

 half of the association, a pumpkin pie. 

 Then, with the pleasing assistance of 

 a quite young lady in yellow, Mr. Cobb 

 further presented the ex-president with 

 an exceedingly handsome diamond 

 ring. 



The Banquet. 



The annual banquet of the association 

 was held in the Fern room of the Hotel 

 Pfister Wednesday evening, July 23. 

 About 450 ladies and gentlemen were 

 present. The entertainment, in addi- 

 tion to that placed upon the tables, con- 

 sisted of singing, music by a small 

 orchestra and speaking. The community
