The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



NOTBUBBB 1, 1906. 



Seed Trade News. 



AMBBICAN SKID TBADE ASSOCIATION. 



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

 Vlce-PresM Charlss Bursre, Toledo, O.; Sec 'y and 

 Treas., O. B. Kendel, Cleveland. The S6th annual 

 meeting wUl be held at New York City, June, IWJ. 



Vick's Sons, Eocheeter, report a quite 

 satisfactory crop of aster seeds in most 

 varieties. 



• Snow in the Wisconsin woods the first 

 of this week did not improve the pros- 

 pects for green. 



Small lots of radish are coming to 

 light, but the turnip-shaped sorts still 

 are in strong request. 



Huntington & Page, Indianapolis, 

 have removed to a larger and better 

 store at 206 N. Delaware street. 



The Pure Culture Spawn Co., C. H. 

 Winkler, manager, has removed its main 

 office to 609 W. Fourth street, Cincin- 

 nati, but the factory will remain at 

 Pacific, Mo. 



Walter Mott has resigned his posi- 

 tion as traveling salesman for H. H. 

 Berger & Co., New York, to take a simi- 

 lar place with Bobbink & Atkins, Buth- 

 erford, N. J. 



Seed peas are developing scarce. Sharp 

 advances in the price of all the c^nners' 

 varieties are a feature of the week. It 

 looks as though there will not be enough 

 stock to go around. 



The deliveries that are being made on 

 onion seed are something awful. They 

 seem to give poorer satisfaction to the 

 recipient than the average government 

 free seed package does. 



S. M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, Mich., 

 report that the milling of beans is show- 

 ing a loss from previous estimates, not 

 only in their own crops but in those of 

 a number of others whose results are 

 known to them. 



Visited Chicago: A. A. Berry, of the 

 A. A. Berry Seed Co., Clarinda, la.; Al- 

 fred Emerich, of Vilmorin, Andrieux & 

 Co., Paris, France; Max Wilhelmi, of F. 

 Barteldes & Co., Lawrence, Kan.; E. J. 

 Sheap, of S. M. Isbell & Co., Jackson, 

 Mich. 



As far as can be judged from present 

 figures, contract orders for garden beans 

 will be filled in full. It may be that 

 milling and picking will pull some of the 

 varieties down to the cutting line, but on 

 the average the bean crops generally are 

 meeting expectations. 



The Leonard Seed Co., of Chicago, 

 has just completed another onion-set 

 warehouse on the Northwestern railroad 

 tracks at Jefferson ir'ark. This firm has 

 always been in the front as growers and 

 shippers of onion sets and this addition 

 to its plant makes its facilities better 

 than ever. 



Seed travelers generally report trade 

 conditions to be in fir^t-class shape. The 

 outlook for business appears to be good 

 from the seedsman's standpoint. Orders 

 for future shipment are not hard to book 

 and the higher prices that are being 

 asked do not seem to be a hindrance in 

 getting orders for liberal quantities.

The canners are buying peas in large 

 lots at fine prices, packers ' favorite sorts 

 having scored an advance in the last 

 fortnight. The 1906 pack of peas was 

 light and the canners anticipate a de- 

 mand for a big pack in 1907. 



SEED CONCERITS TROUBLES. 



His suspicions aroused by a report of 

 the sale of the total assets of the Elgin

 ulent sale. According to the statements
