AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOOATION. 



PreB., C. N. Page, Des Moines. la ; First Vlce- 

 Pres., L. L. May. St. Paul; Sec'y and Treas., C. E. 

 Rendel, Cleveland. The 23rd annual meeting 

 win be held on the St liawrence, June, 1906. 



Francis Brill, Hempstead, L. I., re- 

 ports fair prospects on cabbage and 

 cauliflower crops. 



The C. H. Joosten estate is to be set- 

 tled October 8. The business will go 

 on uninterruptedly. 



The winter top onion set seems to 

 have hidden itself. There is a brisk de- 

 mand but no supply. 



August Rhotert, New York, and Mrs. 

 Rhotert, will reach home October 1 after 

 a European trip of ten weeks. 



Philadelphia. — H. M. Earl, of Bur- 

 pee & Co., has returned from a tour of 

 western seed growing districts. 



The growers say that the early va- 

 rieties of sweet corn are safe, and that 

 there will be no scarcity of the late va- 

 rieties. 



The past week has not given good bean 

 weather; too much moisture is not a 

 good thing at this time for beans, 

 whether harvested or still standing. 



Visited Chicago: J. E. Killen, rep- 

 resenting Wm. Rennie, Toronto, Canada; 

 Alex Niven, London, England, who was 

 for thirty years in the grain business 

 at Constantinople. 



The Jerome B. Rice Seed Co. has is- 

 sued its annual onion crop report, es- 

 timating the total crop as 2,835.365 

 bushels, as against 3,285,800 bushel.s 

 from the same districts in 1903. 



Several car loads of peas from north- 

 ern Michigan have reached Chicago. The 

 samples are thought to represent in a 

 general way the year 's product from that 

 section and are reported to be very satis- 

 factory. 



Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, report 

 that specimen vines with the fruits on 

 them just received at its office from sev- 

 eral cucumber seed growing sections 

 give very poor assurance of anything like 

 a good crop. The specimens received 

 cover most of the standard kinds. 



Present indications point to a high 

 price for onion sets next spring. The 

 delayed harvest at many of the im- 

 portant growing points brought the end 

 of the harvest into bad weather condi- 

 tions, and when onion sets are harvested 

 wet there is little chance that they will 

 winter well. 



.Tas. J. H. Gregory, Marblehead, Mass., 

 writes September 19 : * * The cold spring 

 was unfavorable to early planting and 

 consequently our annuals, such as corn, 

 tomatoes and squash, are later than 

 usual, but are cropping exceptionally 

 well. The biennials, as a rule, kept poor- 

 ly, especially cabbage and onion ; conse- 

 quently the crop from these will be light- 

 er than the average. Carrots with us 

 are the exception, having passed through 

 in fine condition. They have seeded well 

 but are late and an early frost would 

 shorten the crop."

weather in the fore part of the season 

 and later the lack of genial weather did 

 not cause the pods to fill properly. The 

 weather in this immediate section dur- 

 ing harvest was favorable and crop has 

 been saved in good condition, while fur- 

 ther north more frequent rains delayed 

 harvest, and, of course, considerably dam- 

 ( aged the crops.
