In the paHsinj; of Dr. Tracy the seed trade has 

 lost one of its liest fi'ienils and counselors and a 

 wan who has done as nnicli as, or tnore than, any 

 other to iireucli and jiraclice the production of 

 better seeds. Dr. 'I'racy's life work, with its 

 high stanihiri) of iileals, will he an insiuration 

 to the future generations of seedRnii'n and, if 

 praoticed, will do much toward raising the stand- 

 ard of the seed business in America. 

 MEIAIN S. CHIKKITH. 



Melvin .S. (Jritlilli, jiresidcnt of tlie Orifllth & 

 Turner Co., lialliinore, Md., died suddenly at hi8 

 home, in » suhiirli of that city, .lanuary 11, li)l."_'. 



Mr. (Iritlilh was Inun in lialtimore coiint.v, 

 Maryland, his father, tlie l.ite .lolin .M. Orillith. 

 being tiie founder of tlie seed and impleniont 

 bouse of (iriliith &■ Turner Co. The son early 

 associated himself witli the firm and was its ac- 

 tive head for num.v years, and was well and fa- 

 voratily known to tlie trade and to the fanning 

 rominunily which they serve. 



Garden Seed Session. 



Tlio Wodiiesday al'tcrnoon session was 

 calK'tl tlio S'lTdcn .seed session, because 

 at this time L(>onard II. Vauglian, elinir- 

 niaii of Ihe eonmiittee on tlie jjarden l)u- 

 reau, ]>rosented liis reiiort, and James 

 II.' Bnrdett, the director, ' told of the 

 bureau's work. The latter stated that, 

 at the close of the third year of the 

 national V)nre.'iu 's activities, it could be 

 safely said that newspapers are devot- 

 ing as much or more sjiace to home gar- 

 dens than they did even during the pe- 

 riod of war gardens; that the resjionse 

 from the public is in projiortion and 

 the garden seed business corrospoiul- 

 ingly benefited, and that more than half 

 of all liome garden ])ul)licity published 

 in American newsjia)>ers is supplied by 

 the national garden bureau. This work 

 has necessarily jirogresst^l slowly, since 

 the funds of the bureau are limited and 

 its o]ierations from Chicago are solely 

 by mail. The service is supjilied to any 

 daily newspaper wliich makes applica- 

 tion, and any seedsman can secure tlie 

 service for his home-town paper if he 

 will make .iiiiilic at ion to the bureau. 

 Mr. IJurdett said there are 1,924 

 daily iiews](apiT.s in the United States, 

 of which llif Idireau lias n^ceived writ- 

 ten orders lor its service from TIT). The 

 bureau, however, furnishes its service 

 to only one newspiiper in any city, with 

 few exceptions. The 1,924 daily news- 

 papers are ]nihlislied in 1,2(59 cities, and 

 of these cities fiOl are being supplied 

 with the bureau's material. 



The bureau is being asked to furnish 

 additional jniblicity material in the 

 form of ]iam]dilets, lectures, stereo]>ti- 

 con slides and motion picture films. 

 Lack (if funds has prevented the sup- 

 jtjying of sinli things so far, but should 

 eonditi()ii> prove favoralde, tlu\v will 

 be added tn the bnre:iu "s service e.'irly 

 in the future.
