 son, Francis, is his chief of staflF. The

 goes to Moorestown. 



THE CANNERS' CONVENTION. 



The great national convention of the 

 canners' and allied associations is be- 

 ing held this week at New York and 

 the attendance is estimated at 5,000. 

 The Machinery and Supplies Associa- 

 tion, of which W. C. Langbridge, of the 

 Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., is president, 

 has staged its exhibition in the Grand 

 Central Palace, the mezzanine floor be- 

 ing devoted largely to seedsmen 's ex- 

 hibits. These are made by: 



J. H. Allan Seed Co., Sheboygan, Wis., peas; 

 represented by E. M. Parmalee, W. B. I.ucns, 

 T. Hopkins. 



Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, a general assort- 

 ment of seeds for canners, the specialty being 

 Leonard's Narrow Grain Evergreen corn; repre- 

 sented by J. C. Leonard, Wm. Sutherland and 

 A. J. Coleman.

 general Hne of seeds for canners; represented by 

 W. C. Langbridge and Charles Guelph.

 beets and peas; represented by Frank Woodruff. 



F. H. Woodruff & Son. Milford, Conn., corn 

 and beans; represented by H. F. Woodruff. 



The program for the meetings, held at 

 the Astor House, is long and varied, but 

 of little interest to the trade except for 

 the fact that W. C. Langbridge, as pres- 

 ident of the Supplies Association, plays 

 a prominent part. 



IBBIGATED PEAS. 



It appears that the pack of low 

 grade peas was rather larger last sea- 

 son than usual and some of the can- 

 ners are inclined to blame the use of 

 seeds grown under irrigation, although 

 it is by no means proven that the seeds 

 had anything to do with it. It is well 

 understood that the Alaska pea, the 

 most important variety, grown under ir- 

 rigation in Idaho or Montana makes 

 much stronger growth than when 

 planted under the conditions that main- 

 tain in the older seed pea sections; 

 they go twice to three times as high. 

 The seed is larger. Some canners plant 

 four bushels of irrigated seed where 

 three bushels of the smaller peas suf- 

 fices to the acre; about the same num- 

 ber of plants is said to result. That 

 the use of the larger seed results in 

 larger peas going into the can may be 

 true, but is open to question. If the 

 extra size really is a characteristic of 

 the second generation when not grown 

 under irrigation it would appear that 

 all the canner has to do would be to 

 take in his crop a little earlier. How- I
