"tulips" as it appears in the law refers 

 to bulbs, while the importers contend 

 that it refers, or may refer, to tulip 

 flowers. It may be possible to put over 

 a thing like this, as was done in the 

 hyacinth case under the previous tariff 

 law, but no member of the trade will 

 have any doubt as to what the authors 

 of the paragraph had in mind. 



THE CONVENTION FBOQBAM. 



A tentative program has been devel- 

 oped for the June convention of the 

 American Seed Trade Association at 

 San Francisco. Headquarters will be at 

 the Inside Inn, on the exposition 

 grounds, and the business sessions will 

 be held there, with morning meetings 

 only, leaving the afternoons and eve- 

 nings open for sightseeing. The con- 

 vention will open Monday evening, 

 June 21, with a reception at the home 

 of President Lester L. Morse, only ten 

 minutes' walk from the Inn. Business 

 sessions of about three hours each will 

 be held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- 

 day. Wednesday evening the annual 

 banquet will be held at the rooms of 

 the San Francisco Commercial Club, 

 downtown. Friday morning the party 

 will go to Gilroy, arriving at 9:50, the 

 day to be spent in an automobile trip 

 to local seed ranches, concluded with a 

 barbecue in front of the old San Juan 

 Mission, as a courtesy of the seed grow- 

 ers of the valley, with Waldo Rohnert 

 in charge. Those who wish may take 

 the evening train to Hotel Del Monte; 

 others will go by auto to San Jose and 

 spend the night at Hotel Vendome. 

 Saturday morning will be spent visit- 

 ing the seed ranches in the Santa Clara 

 valley, returning to San Francisco in 

 the evening. 



SEEDS IN BRAZIL. 



According to the South American 

 Journal there is a growing demand in 

 Brazil for flower and garden seeds, the 

 bulk of which are imported from 

 France, Germany, Portugal, Spain and 

 other European countries, the United 

 States supplying only a small part. 

 Vegetable seeds imported at Bio de 

 Janeiro include watercress, cabbage and 

 lettuce, small and large onions, cauli- 

 flower, cabbage of all kinds, spinach, 

 peas, beans, melons, mustard, turnips, 

 radishes and tomatoes; the most popu- 

 lar flowers being carnations, pansies, 

 zinnias, violets, chrysanthemums and 

 flowering vines. Small shipments by 

 parcel post are permitted to enter the 

 country without the payment of duties, 

 and if, as recently stated in The Re- 

 view, the packages are marked "Se- 

 mentes para agricultura" (seeds for 

 agriculture), much trouble and expense 

 may be saved the consignees. 



MOTT-LY MEDITATIONS. 



The L. L. Olds Seed Co., Madison, 

 Wis., states that a more rosy prospect 

 at this season was seldom, if ever, expe- 

 rienced by the firm. When they erected 

 that fine building last year they leased
