AMERICAN SEf D TRAM ASSOaAlKW. 



Pres., C. N. Pa^e, Des Moines, la.; First Vlce- 

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

 Kendel, Cleveland. The 28rd annual meetlngr 

 will be held at Alexandria Bay, N. Y., from June 

 20 to 23, 1906. 



In western Iowa and Nebraska there 

 were light frosts May 4. 



The peas for next year's crop in Wis- 

 consin and Michigan have been planted. 



Thb wholesale and retail seed stores 

 in New York are rapidly becoming cen- 

 tralized. 



The weather has more effect on the 

 seed business at Chicago than the team- 

 sters ' strike. 



It is reported that H. W. Buckbee, of 

 Bockford, 111., is to write a book. It is 

 to tell the public all about cultural mat- 

 ters. 



Weather conditions for planting peas 

 were fairly favorable. Reports are that 

 the sown acreage is sprouting well and 

 that the outlook is encouraging. 



Many of the vine seed growers are 

 looking about for stock seed of the odd 

 varieties of melon, squash and pumpkin. 

 Safe stocks of some of these are very 

 scarce. 



There is much interest in the seed 

 trade convention to be held at Alexan- 

 dria Bay, N. Y., in the Thousand 

 Islands, June 20 to 22. Information 

 already in the hands of President 

 Charles N. Page indicates a large attend- 

 ance. 



Visited Chicago: — Theodore Roosevelt, 

 head of the government seed business, 

 Washington, D. C; C. L. Allen, Floral 

 Park, N. Y.; W. Carleton, of the Carle- 

 ton Seed and Implement Co., Jackson, 

 Mich.; Harry Claire, of the Planet Jr. 

 Co., Philadelphia. 



Joseph R. Ratekin, proprietor and 

 manager of the Western Seed Co., Shen- 

 andoah, la., was duly adjudged bankrupt 

 on May 6, in the United States court for 

 the southern district of Iowa. The first 

 meeting of creditors will be held at the 

 office of Jennings & Fischer, Shenandoah, 

 on May 18. 



It is reported that the Nebraska firm 

 which thought of going into Colorado with 

 extensive vine seed operations has aban- 

 doned the idea. Colorado is not thought 

 to be as safe a state for vine crops as Ne- 

 braska, This, at all events, from reports 

 is the conclusion arrived at by the Ne- 

 braska grower. 



The seed trade in Great Britain is 

 suffering in the same measure as all 

 other industries because of the condition 

 of business depression following the 

 war in South Africa. Word has reached 

 dealers here of financial diflBculties of 

 the old and well known Surrey Seed Co., 

 Eedhill, Surrey, England. 



Contracting for the year's crop of seed 

 beans in the Michigan regions is about 

 closed up. Planting will begin in the 

 southern section by May 25. It is hoped 

 that dryer and warmer weather will pre- 

 vail by the time seeding begins. The 

 growers like to have the beans go into 

 warm ground not too moist.
