L. W. Wheeler, of the Pieters-Whceler 

 Seed Co., Gilroy, Cal., was a visitor in 

 Chicago last week. 



Charles Dickinson, retired head of 

 the Albert Dickinson Co., Chicago, was 

 born May 28, 1858. 



Retail seedsmen have been liandi- 

 capped by a most abnormal and vagarious 

 season and by a general tendency to 

 economize by curtailing advertising. 



Peter Hollenbach, Chicago, celebrates 

 his seventy-first birthday this week. He 

 was born May 26, 1871. Mr. Hollenbach 

 is one of the old school of seedsmen. He 

 never has advertised and is rather proud 

 of it. 



Seedsmen are busy making out their 

 schedules for attending the various seed 

 conventions. With the meeting at Mem- 

 phis, two conventions at St. Louis and 

 various other district meetings, there are 

 several trips to figure on for June. 



The disposition to withhold contracts 

 from the seed growers is disturbing, not 

 only to the growers themselves, but to 

 dealers who fear surpluses in some lines 

 and shortages in others through the pres- 

 ent inability to judge the needed quan- 

 tities. 



Present officers of the Iowa Seed 

 Dealers' Association, which wiU meet at 

 Des Moines June 1, are: President, C. 

 G. Ouren, of the Ouren Seed Co., Council 

 Bluffs; vice-president, W. H. Talbot, of 

 Osceola ; secretary, A. M. Eldridge, of the 

 Henry Field Seed Co., Shenandoah, and 

 treasurer, John T. Hamilton, of Cedar 

 Rapids. 



Clifford Corneli, of the Schisler- 

 Corneli Seed Co., St. Louis, Mo., is a busy 

 man these days. He is in charge of all 

 arrangements for the annual convention 

 of the American Seed Trade Association, 

 which is to be held in his city next month. 

 All the arrangements for the convention 

 are well under way and will be completed 

 by June 1. 



The sun smiled on the seedsmen of Chi- 

 cago. There were three beautiful, warm, 

 sunshiny days the latter part of the week 

 that seemed to enliven the interest of the 

 buying public in garden seeds, bulbs, 

 tools, etc. But, as R. B. Howe, president 

 of the W. W. Barnard Co., said: "It 

 hasn 't l)een warm enough long enough to 

 make a lot of difference. ' ' 



A radish eaten in Washington, re- 

 marks the Market Reporter published by 

 the Department of Agriculture, may have 

 been produced in Florida from .seed pur- 

 chased from a dealer in Chicago who con- 

 tracted with a eonimercial grower in New 

 York state who grew it in California with 

 Japanese labor from seed ])roduccd in 

 Michigan that was the progeny of seed 

 grown in France. It may be termed a 

 cosmoi)olitan vegetable. 



French dealers continue to ship red 

 clover seed, another shipment of 1,000,000 

 pounds having l>een received at Xew York 

 last week. A small shipment of about 

 20,000 pounds arrived from Great Britain. 

 Approximately 77,000 pounds of red 

 clover were received at Baltimore from 

 Germany. Further imports of white clover 

 from Germany, which amounted to 22,000
