AMEEICAN SEED TEADE ASSOCIATION. 



President, Lester L. Morse. San Francisco, Cal. : 

 Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. 



Thirty-third annual convention, San Francisco, 

 Cal., June, 1915. 



J. C. Vaughan, Chicago, is seeking the 

 Democratic nomination that will permit 

 him to make another run for Congress 

 against James K. Mann. 



The Milwaukee Seed Co., of Milwau- 

 kee. Wis., has been incorporated with a 

 capitalization of 41,000, by E. L. Eosen- 

 berg, DeUa Deiisle and Edna Rosenberg. 



Charles N. Page, of the Iowa Seed 

 Co Dee Moines, last week was operated 

 on 'by the Mayo brothers in Rochester, 

 Minn. Frank H. Page advises that the 

 work was successful. 



The sum appropriated for the congres- 

 sional free seed distribution of 1915 is 

 $257,000. An additional sum of $100,UUU 

 is provided for the distribution in other 

 ways of new and rare seeds. 



Weathee conditions during the first 

 half of July, a critical period, have been 

 excellent in the Wisconsin and Michigan 

 pea growing districts. In Idaho and 

 Montana the seedsmen who have been 

 crop inspecting since convention have 

 found prospects satisfactory. 



A LABGE loss was caused July 6 by a 

 fire in the buUding of the Philadelphia 

 Seed Co., at 103 Arch street, Philadel- 

 phia. The fire was confined to the tniro 

 knd fourth floors of the buildmg, the 

 damage on the lower floors being caused 

 by water. 



There has been so much opposition to 

 the practice of the Dutch bulb growers 

 in marketing cut blooms that the Dutch 

 Bulb Exporters' Association has bound 

 itTmembers neither to sell or give away 

 cut blooms of hyacinths in the years 

 1915 and 1916. It is announced that 

 "Should this action be crowned v?ith 

 success, similar measures wUl be taken 

 against the trade exporting other kinds 

 of cut flowers." 



BUBPEE TALKS TO BEIT.ONS. 



An important conference on sweet 

 peas was held in the Palace of Music 

 at the Anglo-American Exposition, 

 Shepherd's Bush, London, England, 

 Wednesday, July 8. Leonard G. Sutton, 

 of Reading, presided. Papers on One 

 Hundred Years' Progress with the 

 Sweet Pea in England," and "The De- 

 velopment of the Sweet Pea in Amer- 

 ica," were read by Messrs. Charles i±. 

 Curtis and W. Atlee Burpee, respec- 

 tively. 



"UNCJIiE SAM'S SEEDS." 



No circumstance connected with the 

 government distribution of seeds has, 

 in recent years, attracted the atten- 

 tion through the United States that 

 has resulted from the announcement of 

 Kelway & Son, the English growers, 

 that they have been awarded contracts 

 aggregating about forty-four tons for 

 the 1915 distribution. The fact was 

 the subject of a debate in Congress, 

 as reported in The Review for July 2, 

 and is being widely commented on in 

 the daily newspapers. The general at- 

 titude is shown by the following edi- 

 torial from the Telegram, published at 

 Adrian, Mich.:
