THE WASHINGTON CONVENTION. 



Thirty-second Annual Meeting. 



The interest in the thirty-second an- 

 nual convention of the American Seed 

 Trade Association, to be held at Wash- 

 ington, D. C, June 23, 24 and 25, points 

 to a large attendance and a lively meet- 

 ing. The fact that the national capital 

 is the place of meeting will undoubtedly 

 draw many, and the program that has 

 been prepared includes subjects which 

 are strong in their appeal to seedsmen's 

 attention. Those which Secretary Ken- 

 del points out particularly are the ad- 

 dress of Curtis Nye Smith, the associa- 

 tion's counsel, on "The Proper Use of 

 the Disclaimer," and that of F. W. 

 Bruggerhof , on ' ' The Cental System of 

 Selling Seeds and Its Advantages. ' ' 

 The headquarters of the associatiou at 

 Washington will be the Raleigh, at the 

 corner of Twelfth street and Pennsyl- 

 vania avenue.
