 matoes, etc. Every seedsman, every florist, 

 every gardener, every farmer should have

AMERICAN SEED TRADE ASSOOATION.

 First Vice- Pres., L. L. May, St. Paul; Sec'y and 

 Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 24th annual 

 aneetlng will be held at Toledo, G., June 26-28, 1»06. 



VISITED Chicago: — Chas. P. Braslan, 

 San Jose, Cal. 



Holland bulb growers are experienc- 

 ing another undesirably mild winter. 



There are a few of the catalogue seed 

 houses whose issues for 1906 have not yet 

 made an appearance. 



Adam Currie, Jr., is on the road for 

 Currie Bros. Co., of Milwaukee, making 

 two trips a year to the Pacific coast. 



W. W. Barnard, Chicago, has been 

 alarmingly ill with pneumonia the past 

 week, but on Tuesday was reported as 

 improving. 



The weather has been the warmest 

 known in January for years. The mean 

 temperatures have been 10 degrees above 

 normal for the entire month. 



Visited St. Paul. — H. A. Johns, of 

 the Sioux City Seed and Nursery Co., 

 Sioux City, la., F. L. Hogue, wholesale 

 seed grower, Carpinteria, Cal. 



The Montgomery Ward seed catalogue 

 is unique in shape and size. Half-tones 

 are used as illustrations, the subjects be- 

 ing well chosen and the work well ex- 

 ecuted. 



The canners' convention, which meets 

 at Atlantic City within the month, is 

 looked forward to by the seed trade. 

 Pointers on peas and sweet corn for sow- 

 ing purposes usually develop when the 

 canners meet. 



J. A, EOBINSON, of the Jerome B. Eice 

 Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y., has spent 

 the month of January in the west and 

 says he booked orders to the amount of 

 over .$92,000. He says it promises to be 

 a banner year for his house. He finds all 

 in the trade anticipating a good spring 

 season. 



The belated delivery from growers of 

 some of the early varieties of sweet com 

 is causing considerable annoyance in fill- 

 ing orders. It is suggested that the com 

 grower should arrange some sort of a 

 drying plant to get sweet corn in shape 

 quickly, instead of depending on the 

 weather to dry it out. 



Returning from a short trip taken 

 to southern points, S. F. Leonard, Chi- 

 cago, reports the unseasonable weather 

 of January has thrown things off in a 

 measure and the seed dealers through- 

 out the section covered are wondering 

 where they are at. A good, stiff, cold 

 snap is needed to adjust things. 



January shipments of onion sets are 

 reported to have gone out in good shape. 

 The weather throughout the month was 

 favorable for shipping. February busi- 

 ness, which is always the heaviest of car- 

 load lots, will settle the question of 

 where prices will land. Well posted 

 onion set dealers are not worrying. 



Writing under date of January 23, C. 

 C. Morse & Co., San Francisco, say that 

 recent weather conditions in central Cali- 

 fornia have been very favorable indeed 

 for crops. There has been an abundance 

 of rain and the streams overflowed their
