Seed Trade News. 



AMERICAN SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION. 

 President, C, C. Massie, Minneapolis; Secre- 

 tary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, 0. 



The new member of the executive com- 

 mittee of the American Seed Trade Asso- 

 ciation, elected at Cleveland, was F. W. 

 Bolgiano, of Washington, D. C. 



Herman V. Vlasveld, representing 

 Baartman & Koning, of Sassenheim, 

 Holland, is critically ill at the Norwegian 

 hospital, New York, with typhoid. 



Peas in the vicinity of Manitowoc, 

 Wis,, will be an average crop, according 

 to the Manitowoc Seed Co., July 8. The 

 late wrinkled sorts have been cut down 

 by recent unfavorable weather conditions, 

 but early varieties were past the critical 

 stage. 



Plans are being made by the Lake 

 Shore Seed Co., Dunkirk, N. Y., to re- 

 place its plant, which was destroyed by 

 fire June 18, with a five-story fireproof 

 building. The company has established 

 temporary headquarters in the Allebrand 

 building on Central avenue. 



It looks now as though the new tariff 

 bill will become law right in the middle 

 of the Dutch bulb shipping season. Hya- 

 cinth bulbs that come in under the old 

 bill will pay 50 cents per thousand, while 

 those that come in under the new bill will 

 be taxed five times as much. 



Seedsmen, and particularly those in 

 Pennsylvania, should interest themselves 

 in the bill now before the legislature de- 

 signed to compel nurserymen to guarantee 

 their stock true to name. If this in- 

 genious plan can be put in operation the 

 next step will be to devise a scheme 

 whereby the seed trade will be compelled 

 to guarantee their merchandise. 



"The few growers of Dutch bulbs in 

 this vicinity," writes a correspondent 

 at Nashville, Tenn., "report that they 

 nre well matured and that the quality is 

 good. Of course, there are not enough 

 grown here to .imount to much, as the 

 largest grower has only 20,000 or 30,000, 

 but from the hiqrh quality of the bulbs 

 produced and the ease with which thoy 

 are grown here, we predict that this will 

 some day be an industry of no mean pro- 

 portions. " 



That all is not lost, nor everyone given 

 to pessimism, is shown by the following 

 from C. L. Kunz, vice-president of the 

 M. G. Madson Seed Co., Manitowoc, 

 Wis. : ' ' From what we have seen of peas, 

 they are looking splendid, with the ex- 

 ception of a few fields which had been 

 destroyed by the heavy rains of the early 

 spring. However, wg hope to receive a 

 fair delivery unless tne heat should con- 

 tinue, which might shorten the crop. ' ' 

 This was July 2. 



A GOOD many large buyers of onion 

 seed are beginning to wonder what the 

 outcome will be if all have pursued the 

 policy of covering not over half their 

 needs by contract, depending on picking 

 up the balance on a weak market. WTiile 

 things sfldom are as bad as they are 

 painted, it seems sure that Ohio will turn 

 out a light crop and that the California 

 crop will be far under the usual quantity. 

 There is said to have been considerable 

 good buying during the last few days.
