AME&ICAN SEED TBAOE ASSOOIATIOSr. 

 President, John M. Lnpton, Mattltnck, L. I.; 

 Secretary-Treaanr er. O. E. Kendel, Clereland, O. 



The unexpected death of J. M. Clark, 

 secretary of the Leonard Seed Co., Chi- 

 cago, is reported in this week's obituary 

 column. 



Greil Bros. Co., Montgomery, Ala., 

 wholesale grocers, liquor dealers and 

 druggists, intend opening a wholesale 

 seed departmont about September 1 and 

 will deal in seeds of all kinds. The com- 

 pany was established in 1865 and incor- 

 porated in 1896. 



The Stokes Seed Farms Co., Moores- 

 town, N. J., has issued an invitation to 

 all who are interested, directly or indi- 

 rectly, in the subject of vegetable grow- 

 ing to visit it8 Windermoor seed farm 

 August 20. A special train will be run 

 from Philadelphia. 



Automobile bandits held up and 

 robbed Rudolph Feige, assistant cashier 

 of the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, August 

 14, relieving him of the weekly pay roll. 

 Mr. Feige, who had been to the bank, was 

 returning to the offices of the company 

 at 226 West Kinzie street with a satchel 

 containing $800 in currency, when he was 

 struck on tJie head and the satchel was 

 snatched from his hands by two men, 

 who jumped into an automobile in which 

 were two others. The machine ran west 

 at high speed and disappeared up Or- 

 leans street. The loss was covered by 

 insurance and the claim has been paid. 



FIRST FRENCH BULBS ARRIVE. 



The first large shipment of French 

 bulbs, 2,795 cases, arrived at New York 

 August 7, on board the Patria, from 

 Marseilles. This was ten days later 

 than the first shipment last year, and 

 not much more than half the number of 

 cases. (Last year's first shipment ar- 

 rived July 28 and consisted of 4,780 

 cases. French bulbs usually come in 

 three or four large batches of several 

 thousand cases each, followed for a 

 month or so by small, occasional ship- 

 ments. As reported in last week's 

 Review, a single consignment of 252 

 cases arrived ahead of the large ship- 

 ment. 



The Patria shipment was consigned 

 as follows:

ANOTHER WARRANTY CASE. 



The seed trade's non-warranty clause 

 will appear in court again when the 

 suit brought against L. P. Gunson & 

 Co., of Rochester, N. Y., by nine farm- 

 ers in the vicinity of Huxley, la., comes 

 to trial. They ask $1,240 damages be- 

 cause, they assert, seed oats which they 

 purchased of the firm did not come up 

 to representations. Last February the 

 nine farmers entered into contract with 

 L. P. Gunson & Co. for the purchase of 

 seed oats at $2.50 per bushel, the 

 quantities varying from ten to twenty 

 bushels. They assert the oats were
