Seed Trade News. 



AMERICA SEED TRADE ASSOaATION. 



Pres., 0. N. Page, Des Moines, la.; First Vlce- 

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

 Kendel. Cleveland. The 2iJrd annual meeting 

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

 20 to 22. 1906. 



The good weather of the week has 

 improved the onion set fields at Chicago 

 very much. 



Everything points to an unusually 

 large attendance at the seed trade con- 

 vention next week, especially of the east- 

 em members. 



It is reported from Sheboygan, Wis., 

 that one of the canning companies there 

 claims to have had great damage on 

 crops. They were also unfortunate in 

 losing 1,000 bags of seed peas by the 

 flooding of their canning establishment. 



From all the information available to 

 date there will be no combination in the 

 movement of the western seedsmen to- 

 ward the meeting point of the seedsmen 's 

 convention. Each will move independ- 

 ently of the others, trusting to providence 

 to get there safely. 



Under date of Sheboygan, Wis., June 

 12, the John H. Allan Seed Co. reports: 

 "We have had some fearful storms 

 which have done great damage to prop- 

 erty along the river fronts, and in all 

 probability we must have suffered con- 

 siderably by the rains, but are surprised 

 that very few reports of damage have 

 reached us up to the present time. We 

 had expected many and serious ones." 



Too much rain in the Mississippi val- 

 ley, too little on the Atlantic coast. 



The next two weeks is likely to make 

 or break the onion set crop of the coun- 

 try. 



Visited Chicago: Eobert Livingston 

 and Thos. Ludwig, of the Livingston 

 Seed Co., Columbus, Ohio. 



Crenshaw Bros., Tampa Pla., have 

 just moved into a new building erected 

 especially for the seed business. 



D. M. Ferry, Jr., is with Lem W. Bow- 

 en, visiting European seed growers. 

 Young Mr. Ferry is now actively identi- 

 fied with the business. 



Reports covering the pea growing sec- 

 tions of Wisconsin show the growing 

 crops to be in very good shape, notwith- 

 standing the heavy rains. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 has issued a circular to refute the popu- 

 lar belief that the "cabbage snake," or 

 hair-worm, is poisonous. The statement is 

 made that the cabbage-growing industry 

 has suffered severely from this fallacy. 



Judging from the reports of the trav- 

 elers, there is yet in the hands of the 

 smaller seed merchants throughout the 

 country a considerable overplus of stan- 

 dard stocks. 



Reports from California growers are 

 very discouraging as to the prospect for 

 onion seed. One large operator sug- 

 gests one-third of a crop as the prob- 

 able harvest. 



In Michigan but few beans had been 

 planted previous to the flooding rains 

 reported in this column last week, so 

 that if conditions become favorable for 

 immediate seeding no special damage 

 will have resulted. 



D. H. Gilbert, Monticello, Fla., 

 writes under date of June 9: "There 

 is a large acreage of water melons and, 

 with the exception of a very few sorts, 

 we will have a good yield. Cantelope is 

 doing well, but the acreage is short. 

 Egg plant is also doing well." 



H. W. BuCKBEE, Rockford, 111., has 

 bought a new saddle horse from a Mexi- 

 can mail order man named Wild Bill and 

 the local newspaper gives up half a col- 

 umn to an account of the fun there will 

 be when the seedsman introduces his 

 steed to the local puff wagons. 



The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, 

 O., says that "the season's seed business 

 has been very satisfactory. Both the 

 mail trade and home retail trade have 

 been above the average. We presume the 

 prosperous times has much to do with it. 

 Everybody at work means money to 

 spend for seeds, plants, and, in fact, 

 everything in our line." 



From the Indiana onion marsh dis- 

 trict, under date of June 12, a corre- 

 spondent writes as follows : ' ' We are hav- 

 ing an awful time. We have had such 

 heavy rains that fully one-half of the 

 onion crop is destroyed and the weeds 

 are fierce. We are weeding and ditch- 

 ing between showers. Some onion fields 

 this morning were from six inchea to 

 two feet under water. I sowed what seed 

 I could get but had to let some ground 

 go. We are badly in need of help for 

 weeding. ' '
