AXZRIOAN SEED TBAOE ASBOOIATIOH. 

 PrealdeDt. John M. Lupton, Mattltnck, L. I.; 

 ■ecretary-TreaBurer. O. E. Kendel, CleTeland. O. 



Thh death of J. E. Wing, of Mechan- 

 icsburg, O., is reported in this week's 

 obituary column. 



Through the St. Louis port of entry 

 the St. Louis Seed Co. recently received 

 104 cases of Dutch bulbs and 135 cases 

 of French bulbs. 



There were three cases of bulbs on the 

 boat from Bermuda that reached New 

 York September 16, The arrivals to date 

 are only 833 cases. 



IsAAO S. Hendrickson estimates the 

 acreage of gladioli in the United States 

 at from 400 to 500, with the bulb crop 

 running 14,000,000 to 15,000,000. 



E. S. Thompson states that the Central 

 Seed & Bulb Co., Benton Harbor, Mich., 

 has removed to 78 and 80 West Main 

 street, where the retail business will be 

 continued and the wholesale department 

 afforded opportunity for development. 



The country is full of giganteum lily 

 bulbs of the 1914 crop in cold storage 

 and the holders are in a quandary as to 

 how best to meet the situation caused by 

 the considerable surplus over what is 

 needed to take care of standing orders. 



EoBERT H. Black, of Albert Lea, 

 Minn., believes that exhibitions at state 

 fairs are a profitable form of publicity. 

 He had a successful exhibit at the Great 

 North Iowa fair, at Mason City, la., 

 and was represented at Des Moines, 

 la., by a large display of gladioli. He 

 also participated in the recent Minne- 

 apolis fair. 



The U, S. Weather Bureau in coopera- 

 tion with the Bureau of Crop Estimates 

 has sent out a warning that "owing to 

 the general backward state of this year 's 

 com crop in many of the northern but 

 important growing sections of the belt, 

 there is danger of injury to the crop by 

 killing frost, the occurrence of which 

 may be expected at any time. It is 

 therefore important that every effort pos- 

 sible be made to secure good seed for 

 next year's crop. Where any last year's 

 com is left it should be gone over and 

 the best ears saved. Moreover, ^s corn 

 mafures unevenly, it is possible to secure 

 seed from the early ears before the rest 

 of the crop is matured."
