AMEBICAN SEED TBAOE ASSOCIATION. 

 President, John M. Lupton, Mattltack, L. I.; 

 Secretary-Treasurer, C. E. Keodel, Cleveland, O. 



It looks as though carrots will be a 

 \ short item again this season. 



Ealph M. Ward, of New York, is on 

 the Labrador coast on a fishing trip. 



German seeds continue to show up, 

 small lots at a time, mostly via Holland 

 but also via Scandinavian shipping 

 points. 



Onion sets are now being harvested 

 at Chicago. A year ago, August 8, they 

 were all in the barns. There is every 

 indication of a short crop. 



Notice of the referee's sale of the 

 stock of the Johnson Seed Co., Philadel- 

 phia, to be held August 24, appears this 

 week under the head of Business Embar- 

 rassments. 



There were 252 cases of bulbs, 66 

 cases of immortelles, 218 parcels of seeds 

 and 166 parcels of roots on the steamer 

 from Ollioules, PVance, that reached New 

 York last week. 



Brussels sprouts and spinach are two 

 of the items that it will pay to give a 

 little more space in the 1916 books. The 

 consumption of these vegetables is in- 

 creasing steadily or even rapidly. 



Seed growing in Denmark is assum- 

 ing large proportions. For instance, it 

 is stated that L. Daehnfeldt, Ltd., of 

 Odense, had this year over 10,000 acres 

 unaer seed crops, principally for expiort. 



It has become the fashion to predict 

 crop shortages, here, there and every- 

 where. No doubt the life of the seeds- 

 man is becoming more complex every day, 

 but things seldom are so bad as they 

 seem — or sound. 



Considerable quantities of flower 

 seeds, including cyclamen, pansy, aster, 

 antirrhinum, cineraria, mignonette, petu- 

 nia, stocks and many other items pro- 

 dtTced under glass and in the open, are 

 now being grown in Denmark, where 

 seedsmen see chances to cut into Ger- 

 many's trade. 



The U. S. Civil Service Commission 

 will conduct an examination August 18 

 in various cities of the country to secure 

 a laboratory aid in seed testing in the 

 Bureau of Plant Industry of the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture in Washington. The 

 position pays $720 a year and is open 

 to men and women. 



The English can stop exportation of 

 German goods via Rotterdam or Copen- 

 hagen in the case of articles of exclusive 

 German production, but such seeds as are 

 grown in Holland or Scandinavia as well 

 as in Germany present a more difficult 

 problem. Until the spies get the evi- 

 dence, more or less German stock is 

 pretty sure to get by the blockade. 



S. F. Leonard, president of the Leon- 

 ard Seed Co., Chicago, and his wife re- 

 turned last week from a visit to the 

 Panama-Pacific exposition and a tour 

 of the Pacific coast country. As they re- 

 turned by way of the Canadian Pacific, 

 Mr. Leonard says he never saw so many 

 soldiers in hia whole life. He says the 

 California seed crops are looking well. 

 The onion and lettuce crops in particular 

 seem to be flourishing.
