AMERICAN SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION. 



Pres., Henry W. Wood, Richmond, Va.; First 

 Vlce-Pre8^CharI«8 Burgre, Toledo, O ; Sec 'y and 

 Treas., 0. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 26th annual 

 meeting will be held at New York City, June, 1907. 



The Chicago onion set fields are again 

 in much need of rain. 



W. Atl.ee Burpee, Philadelphia, is 

 inspecting seed crops in California. He 

 is accompanied by his son, who is to 

 take an active part in the business. 



Everything in the way of reports 

 from the onion growers of Indiana and 

 Ohio points to a short crop in those 

 parts. In the east conditions are said 

 to be better. 



T. H. Hopkins, who has charge of the 

 Sturgeon Bay warehouses of the John H. 

 Allan Seed Co., reports peas in Kewanee 

 and Door counties as looking especially 

 well at this date. 



One who claims to know says that 

 when the seed department in the general 

 mail order house is put in a class by it- 

 self the management will have solved the 

 problem of how^ it can be conducted 

 profitably. 



J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York, an- 

 nounce the removal of their business to 

 the large five-story building at 33 Bar- 

 clay street, through to 38 Park place. 

 The condemnation of their warehouse on 

 Cortlandt street for railroad purposes 

 necessitated the change. 



Arthur B. Clark, treasurer of the 

 Everett B. Clark Seed Co., Milford, 

 Conn., is at East Jordan, Charlevoix 

 county, Michigan, arranging for the 

 erection of a seed warehouse. It is ex- 

 pected to have it ready for the reception 

 of the 1906 crop by September 1. 



At the meeting of the Western Pickle 

 Association at Chicago yesterday it was 

 reported that the acreage in cucumbers 

 is only half that of last year. As the 

 decrease with seventy-six packers is 10,- 

 147 acres, it accounts to a great extent 

 for the quantities of seeds for which 

 there was no call. 



This is the time of the year when no- 

 body knows anything about crop pros- 

 pects. There is a dullness all along the 

 line. Those interested as growers are 

 figuring on going on tours of inspection 

 and expect to get an idea of things after 

 a bit of travel. Each, however, is optim- 

 istic that his crops are doing better than 

 the other man's.
