AMERICAN SEED TBASE ASBOOIATION. 

 President, L. L, Olds, Madison, Wis.; secre- 

 tary-treasurer, 0, B. Kendel, Oleveland, O. 



Arthur Holland, of the R. & J. Far- 

 quhar Co., Boston, was recently on his 

 annual inspection of seed stocks at 

 Wethersfield, Conn. 



. Albert Hopkins Smith, treasurer of 

 the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, celebrated 

 his forty-seventh birthday anniversary 

 this week. He was born August 16, 1874. 



On the steamer Fort Victoria, which 

 arrived at New York August 6 from 

 Bermuda, were 110 cases of lily bulbs 

 consigned to R. F. Downing & Co., and 

 216 cases to Maltus & Ware. 



Conditions seem to l>e shaping them- 

 selves for an improvement in the seed busi- 

 ness, but a good many seedsmen who 

 thought the corner had been turned last 

 autumn are unable now to see the signs 

 of betterment. 



George W. Kerr, superintendent of 

 trials for the W. Atlee Burpee Co., Phila- 

 delphia, was in Chicago last week. He 

 reports that recent adviec5f from Cali- 

 fornia indicate that the bright promise 

 for a sweet pea crop is rapidly fading 

 away. 



The warehouse and cleaning plant of 

 the California Seed Growers' Association, 

 about a mile south of Coyote, near San 

 Jose, Cal., was totally destroyed by fire 

 at midnight, August 9. Large quantities 

 of beet, carrot, lettuce, radish, onion and 

 other seeds were lost. J. W. Edmundson 

 said he was unable at the time to indicate 

 the value of the warclionse and its con- 

 tents. 



Carl Mangel.sdorf, of the Atchison 

 Seed & Flower Store, of Atchison, Kan., 

 has resigned and sold his interests in the 

 business to Ernest Mangelsdorf. He has 

 been in charge of the store for six years 

 and has been successful and popular. 

 Ernest has been in charge of the green- 

 houses and will now take charge of the 

 store. Mr. Mangelsdorf plans to rest up 

 for a few weeks. 



DUTCH BULBS AERIVE. 



The first sizable shipment of Dutch 

 bulbs arrived in New York on the 

 steamer Nieuw Amsterdam, from Rot- 

 terdam, August 6. There were 619 cases 

 of bulbs on board. The steamship 

 Florence Luckenbach docked July 30 

 with twenty-seven cases and the Ryn- 

 dam arrived August 1 with a small con- 

 signment of bulbs. 



The shipments this year are arriving 

 about the same time as they did last 

 year, when the first arrivals came on 

 the Noordam July 29 and numbered 

 337. August 5 the Nieuw Amsterdam 

 and one of the Luckenbach steamers 

 arrived with combined consignments of 

 593 cases. The total number of cases 

 received last year by August 6 was 932, 

 not many more than have been received 

 at that time this year. 



August 13 two steamers docked in 

 New York from Rotterdam. These were 

 the Hattie Luckenbach, carrying 246 

 cases of Dutch bulbs, and the Noordam, 

 carrying 358 cases. This brought the 

 total received thus far this year up to 

 a few more than 1,223 cases.
