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

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



Thlrty-tbird annnal convention, San Francisco, 

 C al., June 22 to 24, 1915. 



The obituary of Louis B. Schxilte, 

 president of the Keichardt & Schulte Co., 

 Houston, Tex., appears in this week's 

 column. 



The J. W. Jung Seed Co., Bandolph, 

 Wis., has secured a lease on ten acres 

 of land within the village limits, which 

 will be mostly planted to asters. This 

 is in addition to Fairfield Farm of 180 

 acres, which is located four miles from 

 Bandolph. 



One of the clever advertising stunts 

 lately used by Bolgiano's seed store, 

 Baltimore, is a tall, lean, lanky country 

 chap, Rube Brown, winding his way in 

 and out through the downtown crowds 

 closely followed by a big trained rooster. 

 The rooster does a number of amusing 

 tricks and Rube carries a big gripsack 

 on which is Bolgiano *s ad. The exag- 

 gerated rustic and the rooster never want 

 for an audience. 



It was found necessary for the Amer- 

 ican Seed Trade Association to abandon 

 the idea of a world's seed congress in 

 connection with this year's convention 

 at San Francisco, the war making it 

 impossible for European seedsmen to 

 participate. There is, however, excellent 

 prospect for a large attendance of the 

 regular membership of the A. 8. T. A. 

 President Morse says there will be no 

 extravagant prices, at least not at the 

 Inside lun, which has been selected as 

 headquarters. 



According to a report of the Farmer 

 Seed Growers' Association at Groningen, 

 Holland, the principal seed crop in that 

 district in 1914 was radish, of which 

 101 hectares were grown by thirty-eight 

 members, yielding an average of 1,200 

 kilos per hectare. Sixty-five acres were 

 under spinach for seed, yielding an aver- 

 age of 1,400 kilos per hectare, which 

 is below an average crop. In all, there 

 were 310 hectares under seed crops, 

 grown by ninety -one members of the 

 society. A hectare equals 2.471 acres; 

 a kilo, 2.2046 pounds. 



What are "tulips"! Certain im- 

 porters of bulbs are trying to show that 

 the present tariff law contains no direct 

 reference to tulip bulbs, and that these, 

 therefore, properly are dutiable as bulbs 

 "not otherwise provided for" at 50 

 cents per thousand, instead of $1 per 

 thousand. Protests and claims for re- 

 fund have been filed covering large quan- 

 tities of last season's importations. 

 Much evidence recently has been taken 

 by the U. 8. General Appraisers, the 

 govef^ment contending that the word
