William J. Collins, of Carters Tested 

 Seeds Co., Boston, will sail on a trip to 

 England and Scotland, June 26. 



The report from Newark, N. J., is that 

 the last two weeks of May saw the larg- 

 est sale of seeds of any time this year. 



Have you reserved a room at the Pea- 

 body hotel, Memphis, for June 20 and 21, 

 and one at the Statler hotel, St. Louis, 

 June 22 to 24? 



Travelers in the seed trade seem to be 

 resting. They consider it easier, as well 

 as much less expensive, to see most or 

 their customers at once at the coming 

 conventions. 



Acreage for the coming season is re- 

 ported by John Bodger & Sons Co., Los 

 Angeles, to be slightly reduced on some 

 of its specialties, but slightly increased on 

 asters and zinnias. 



Roy K. Wheeler, of the Pieters- 

 Wheeler Seed Co., Gilroy, Cal., and not 

 L. W. Wheeler, as reported in The Review 

 of May 26, was a visitor in Chicago the 

 previous week. He attended a fraternal 

 convention during his stay. 



A SUDDEN drop in business has surprised 

 some houses, both wholesale and retail. 

 Of course, a drop is always expected at 

 this time of the year, but it came so sud- 

 denly and business dropped to the min- 

 imum so quickly that much comment was 

 occasioned. 



After the meeting of the Southern 

 Seedsmen's Association, at Memphis, ad- 

 journs, Ralph B. Howe and H. A. Bertoli, 

 of W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, will take 

 the train for St. Louis to attend the con- 

 vention there of the American Seed Trade 

 Association. 



The outlook for domestic crimson 

 clover seed production this year is gloomy. 

 Reports submitted by growers and ship- 

 pers to the United States Bureau of Mar- 

 kets indicate that the commercial supply 

 of domestic seed of this crop will be even 

 smaller than the 350,000-pound crop of 

 last year. 



The recent heavy rainfall at Los 

 Angeles has been succeeded by cold and 

 cloudy weather, and crops are not ad- 

 vancing so rapidly as seedsmen would 

 like to see them. The entrance of June 

 brought a slight rise in temperature and 

 .some fine weather is hoped for; otherwise 

 many crops will be light, if not an entire 

 failure this year. 



The hand-to-mouth method of buying 

 by retail seed dealers is enabling them to 

 clean up their stocks by the close of the 

 season, although the demand from farm- 

 ers continues to be below normal. Re- 

 ports submitted by retail dealers to the 

 United States Bureau of Markets indi- 

 cate that this condition is general. While 

 many dealers expect a good demand for 

 late-sown forage crop seeds, most of them 

 are not looking for any last-minute rush, 

 as the spirit of ultraconservatism appears 

 to have a firm hold on the buying farm- 

 ers. Prices generally are somewhat lower 

 than a month ago, having followed the 

 trend of wholesale prices in many cases. 

 In strictly consuming sections, prices of 

 late-sown forage crops have advanced.
