Annual Banquet. 



The annual banquet was not so large 

 as on some recent occasions, but was 

 one of unusual enjoyment; 130 were 

 present, including ladies. It was sched- 

 uled to be held Tuesday evening, June 

 22, at the Commercial Club, but was 

 postponed to Wednesday evening. Wat- 

 son S. Woodruff was toastmaster. The 

 speaking was informal. 



Wednesday morning the convention 

 was photographed before the Palace of 

 Horticulture and Mr. Brown, for the 

 exposition, presented a bronze medal. 

 President Morse and Vice-President J. 

 M. Lupton replied. 



Thursday's session will be executive 

 and will end the convention. 



PRESIDENT MORSE'S ADDRESS. 



[In opening the San Francisco convention of 

 the American Seed Trade Association, President 

 Lester L. Morse spolie in part as follows.] 



The year of my administration has 

 been uneventful so far as affairs af- 

 fecting the American seedsman are con- 

 cerned. The trade has had a normal 

 season, with no great shortages except 

 on certain kinds of beans, and no great 

 overproduction of any particular line. 



When the war broke out, a feeling 

 of fear and distrust filled us with grave 

 doubt as to whether or not seeds from 

 the belligerent countries would be de- 

 livered and as to whether or not seeds 

 grown here for delivery abroad could 

 be shipped. Except in a few isolated 

 cases, I understand that practically all 

 contracts were delivered, either in full 

 or pro rata when short, and most of 

 the growers on this side were able to 

 fill their contracts. So the season 

 proved to be one of fair averages all 

 around. 



Next Season's Supply. 



If there was some reason for doubt 

 as to deliveries last autumn, there is 

 greater cause for fear this year. Any 

 sort of prediction will be idle and all 

 we can do at this time is to hope. In 

 spite of the fact that large areas of 

 such crops as are usually secured from 

 Europe are being grown in America, 

 there are many things that will be 

 greatly affected if they are not secured 

 from Europe, since even with a good 

 crop in this country, there will still be 

 a serious shortage of many varieties. I 

 understand there is a large acreage of 

 turnip and cabbage in the northwest, 

 while here in California there is a lib- 

 eral acreage of radish and carrot and 

 some table beet. The California flower 

 seed growers have planted a good acre- 

 age of standard varieties, which will 

 take care of some lines, but there are 

 many varieties of flowers and vege- 

 tables which are only used in limited 

 quantity and which a seedsman needs 

 badly for catalogue and store trade. 

 These items will keep the retail dealer 

 in a dilemma for a good part of the 

 coming months or until he finally learns 

 whether he can or cannot get them. 

 Stocks of all kinds, I understand, are 

 prettjr well cleaned up and the trade, 

 generally, is ready for a good harvest. 



Seed Legislation. 



The principal matters of interest to 

 the association during the year have 

 been those affecting legislation. The 

 legislatures of most of the states were 

 in session last winter and in a number
