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

 Secretary-Treasurer, 0. B. Kendel, Cleyeland, O. 



Thirty-third annual convention, San Francisco. 

 Cal., June, 1915. 



According to the latest government 

 figures, 1,302,000 acres of peas gave a 

 <5rop of 7,110,000 bushels, or 5.46 bushels 

 per acre. 



One California product that seems to 

 be perennially in short supply is calla 

 bulbs. Stock of more than medium size 

 has not been hunting a market in years. 



The California growers of Purity 

 freesia, while their number is increasing, 

 have again this year as many orders as 

 they expect to be able to fill. Even of 

 P. refracta alba there appears to be no 

 surplus. 



While most Amerizan seed houses do 

 both wholesale and retail business, Kel- 

 way & Son, in England, will try the ex- 

 periment of confining themselves to the 

 wholesale trade in seeds, turning retail 

 inquiries over to their trade customers. 



A MEETING of the stockholders of the 

 Spokane Seed Co. has been called for 

 August 20 at the company's place of 

 business, 906 First avenue, Spokane, 

 Wash. The principal business to be 

 transacted is the voting of an increase 

 of stock from $50,000 to $75,000. 



"Recent rains have made prospects 

 good," writes A. W. Brill, manager of 

 the Francis Brill Co., Hempstead, L. I., 

 * ' but cabbage seed growing is a big gam- 

 ble and there are so many things to con- 

 tend with you never can tell what you 

 have until you see the seed weighed up. ' ' 



With deliveries now being made it 

 appears that the crop of Formosa lily 

 bulbs of forcing size is larger than was 

 expected. Jobbers have not been overly 

 anxious to take orders for the larger 

 sizes, fearing inability to deliver in full, 

 but advices accompanying early ship- 

 ments have led to an easier feeling. 



The Victor Johansen Seed Co., of Los 

 Angeles, Cal., has been incorporated by 

 T. J. Steele, Mrs. S. Steele, Victor Johan- 

 sen, Mrs. Mary Johansen and Oscar Jo- 

 hansen. The capital stock is $50,000, of 

 which $10,000 is subscribed for. At a 

 meeting of the directors of the company 

 the principal place of business was 

 changed from Arroyo Grande to Los 

 Angeles. 



Walter P. Stokes announces that his 

 business will be taken over, October 15, 

 by a corporation to be known as the 

 Stokes Seed Farms Co., organized under 

 the laws of New Jersey, with headquar- 

 ters at Moorestown, where a farm has 

 been purchased and a fireproof warehouse 

 is in course of erection. The retail busi- 

 ness will be continued at 219 Market 

 street, Philadelphia. The purpose is to 

 specialize in the production and distribu- 

 tion of pedigreed vegetable seeds.
