AMERICAN SEED TUADB ASSOCIATION. 

 President, \j. Ij. OMh. Madison, Wis. ; eecre- 

 tnry-treasurer, C B. Kendel, Cleveland, 0. 



A RECKiVER has been appointed for the 

 Holmes Seed Co., Harrisburg, Pa. 



W. F. VAN DER ScHOOT and J. Res, rep- 

 resenting R. A. van der Schoot, of Hille- 

 gom, Holland, arrived recently on the 

 S.S. Noordain. 



No free seeds are included in the De- 

 partment of Agriculture budget for next 

 year, particulars of which will be found 

 in the article on a forward page headed 

 "Government Makes Budget." 



Lester L. Morse, of San Francisco, is 

 on an eastern trip. Ho was at Chicago 

 last week and commented on the degree 

 of cheerfulness he noted in the demeanor 

 of certain seedsmen there. 



Seedsmen who have been submitting an 

 inventory of stock growing in their trial 

 grounds or seed farms will learn that 

 they may discontinue doing so, in the 

 article headed "Growers' Income Taxes" 

 on a forward page. 



The Senate finance committee, it is ex- 

 pected, will hold hearings on the Fordney 

 tariff bill covering grass and other seeds 

 and bulbs next week. Further report of 

 this matter appears on a forward page, 

 under ' ' Tariff Hearings. ' ' 



The onion set market is extremely 

 quiet. The supply of sets is small and 

 ])riccs nominally are rather high, well 

 above the contract growing price, but 

 there is nothing doing at present, with 

 an uneasy feeling that the small supply 

 may prove more than enough. 



D. B. GtiRNEY, ])resident of the Gurney 

 Seed & Nursery Co., Yankton, S. D., is 

 sojourning in Chicago for a month, edit- 

 ing and supervising the publication of 

 the company 's general catalogue for 1922. 

 The book will contain 160 pages and the 

 run will be half a million copies. 



Proofsheets of some of the 1922 gen- 

 eral catalogues suggest that some mem- 

 bers of the seed trade do not know the 

 war is over. One instance has come to 

 notice in which seed corn is so priced 

 that a farmer in Iowa would have 1o haul 

 to market about eight bushels of his 1921 

 crop in order to buy a quart of the cata- 

 logue corn. 



At the store of James Vick's Sons, 

 Rocliester, N. Y., John Shustcr, of Davicn 

 Center, N. Y., a breeder of canaries, has 

 a large collection. These sell well and 

 many orders for the coming holiday have 

 been placed. It is pleasing to note that 

 William H. Dildine, president of the com- 

 pany, has fully recovered from his illness 

 of the last few months and is back again 

 at his desk. 



Adrian J. Schoorl, San Francisco, 

 Cal., states that his bulb season has been 

 exceptionally good. He has been ship- 

 ping his Holland bulbs direct from Europe 

 to San Francisco by the Holland-Amer- 

 ica line, via the Panama canal. "This 

 has enabled me to have bulbs delivered in 

 San Francisco at practically the same 

 cost as for shipment from Holland to New 

 York," stated Mr. Schoorl, who added 

 that he is importing a quantity of valley 

 pips from Hamburg by the same route. 

 Now that the bulb season is about over,
