Thlrty-flfth annual conT«ntion, Detroit. June 19 

 te 21, 1917. 



Navy beans are selling readily at $14 

 per bushel for good seed stock. 



James Vick's Sons, Rochester, have 

 purchased another farm of 120 acres for 

 seed growing. 



The acreage of caladium bulbs in the 

 south is said to approximate sixty per 

 cent of a normal planting. 



Turnip seed continues to advance in 

 price and a shortage is beginning to de- 

 velop. It sells at from 7ij cents to $1 per 

 pound wholesale. 



Offers made by growers in the south 

 indicate that there is a considerable sur- 

 plus of tuberose bulbs, with small pros- 

 pect of finding a market. 



Never in all its history has the seed 

 trade done so much business in May as 

 has been the case this year, but the same 

 19 true of April in most of the stores. 



The acreage of Harrisii bulbs, now 

 maturing in Bermuda, is even less than 

 last year, but it is claimed the quality 

 will show another step toward the 

 disease-free days of old. 



It is reported in the food trade that 

 tlie acreage of beans in Michigan has 

 almost doubled, while in California it has 

 increased fully fifty per cent. In the seed 

 trpde tlie marvel is that the seeds were 

 found. 



The British Board of Trade has pro- 

 liibitod the importation of French bulbs 

 into England this year, which will mean 

 that the United States will be the only 

 market for the French crop of Paper 

 Wliites and Eomans. 



R. B. Howe, of the W. W. Barnard Co., 

 Chicago, who holds a commission of cap- 

 tain in the quartermaster's division of 

 the reserve army, has been called to Fort 

 Sam Houston, Tex. He will be on fur- 

 lough from the company until released 

 from his military duties. 



Seedsmen are urging their first-time 

 gardening customers not to neglect the 

 plants now that the seeds are germinated. 

 A failure means much this year; it not 

 only will defeat the purpose of the gar- 

 dening movement, but it will cause the 

 waste of the seeds used and the dis- 

 . couragemont of the planter. 



KiRBY B. White, president of the 

 American Seed Trade Association, asks 

 The Review to give publicity to the in- 

 quiry of Dr. W. A. Taylor with regard to 

 those who wish to become familiar with 

 tlie technique and practice of seed testing 

 at the Department of Agriculture. Dr. 

 Taylor 's letter was printed on page 60 

 of The Review for May 24.
