Thirty-fifth annual conTentlon, Detroit, Jane 18 

 to 21, 1917. 



It seems this year as though seeds will 

 seU all summer. 



Reports from France indicate that 

 this year there will be at least as large a 

 percentage as last year of 12-centimeter 

 bulbs in the Paper Whites. 



Imported seeds of all kinds are pretty 

 nearly cleaned up. Eeports of prospects 

 of some vessels coming from Europe, if 

 true, afford a hope, however, of getting 

 more stock. 



As a measure of the importance of the 

 American trade to the Holland exporters, 

 it is stated that one of the principal 

 houses has in hand for fall shipment or- 

 ders aggregating $240,000, and that this 

 does not include any spring orders not 

 shipped. 



Reports coming in from the radish 

 growing section of northern Michigan 

 show that the cold, backward spring has 

 already reduced the acreage of radishes, 

 and damaged crop prospects to some ex- 

 tent. It looks as though radish seed 

 would be easily worth 50 cents to $1 per 

 pound next fall. 



The seed situation, as it is today, was 

 well summed up by a seedsman who, last 

 week, drove up to the offices of the Leon- 

 ard Seed Co., Chicago, to place an order 

 for some seeds. Upon being told that the 

 price on a certain item had advanced $1 

 per pound, he merely laughed compla- 

 cently. "It isn't a question of price," 

 he said, "they come these days asking 

 not how much, but 'Please, Mister, can 

 we get the seed?' " 



The directors of the Wholesale Seeds- 

 men's League met at the Hardware 

 Club, New York, May 22. It was stated 

 that only routine business was trans- 

 acted, with no report for non-members, 

 which is taken to indicate that the prin- 

 cipal theme was the values of seeds of 

 the 1917 and 1918 crops. President F. 

 W. Bruggcrhof, Nestor of the seed 

 trade, who is in his eighty-seventh year, 

 occupied the chair at dinner, there being 

 fifteen seedsmen present. 



A SCARCITY is developing in turnip 

 seed and, as the larger percentage used 

 in this country has in the past been im- 

 ported from Europe, it looks as if turnip 

 seeds for planting this June and July 

 would be a scarce item. Prices have ad- 

 vanced considerably and seed is now 

 selliiijj- ill a jobbing way at 60 to 75 cents 

 per j)Ound for Strap Leaf, Flat Dutch 

 and ordinary sorts. Globe varieties and 

 tlio rutabagas are jobbing at 75 cents to 

 $1 jier j)ound, with prospects of still high- 

 er ]>ric('s. Milan sorts are bringing $1.25 

 to $l..")n per pound.
