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



There is an unusual demand for Stone 

 tomato seed. 



A. J. PiETERS, of A. J. Pieters Seed 

 Co., Hollister, Cal., starts in a few days 

 on'a tour of the trade in the east. 



It is said that vine seeds grown in 

 1906 are plumper and show a better 

 color than the crops of 1905 or 1904. 



At Grand Forks, N. D., A. G. Sorlie 

 and Hugh Keed have formed a partner- 

 ship to go into the wholesale seed busi- 

 ness. 



From all reports beans will be longer 

 in coming in and will be later in being 

 cleaned up for shipment than in aver- 

 age years. 



The National Grange, in convention 

 at Denver November 22, adopted reso- 

 lutions condemning the government seed 

 distribution. 



Louis Soldan will open a seed store 

 at Water street and College avenue, El- 

 mira, N. Y., on December 1, also hand- 

 ling plants, etc. 



H. H. Harries, formerly ox the Good- 

 win-Harries Co., Chicago, is conducting 

 some profitable real estate deals in the 

 vicinity of Gary, Ind. 



The sources of supply for onion seed 

 are pretty well drawn from and it ap- 

 pears that there are still quite a few 

 places that are in need of more seed. 



Some of the foreign shipments are 

 longer delayed this year than usual. The 

 season has been against quick harvest- 

 ing and cleaning on the other side, is 

 the reason given. 



There is a demand for experienced 

 seed clerks. A contemplated branching 

 out at one or two places recently has 

 added to the earning capacity of clerks 

 who know their business. 



The first of the wholesale price lists 

 to come to hand is Burpee's, dated No- 

 vember 22. It is interesting to note that, 

 price changes, as compared with last 

 year, are few and nearly all that are 

 changed are lower, except on onion and 

 radish. 



Prices for 1907 of onion seed and 

 other Pacific coast crops are to be much 

 higher than they have been, and it is un- 

 derstood that the terms are to be on a

James W. Begbie has established him- 

 self at Shreveport, La., carrying a gen- 

 eral line of seeds, bulbs, plants, etc. 



The onion seed thus far received of 

 the 1906 crop is reported to test well. 

 This is one feature of the situation that 

 is gratifying. 



Those who are able to quote Alaska 

 peas freely did not care whether turkey 

 for Thanksgiving was 28 or 38 cents a 

 pound. 



All seedsmen say that the margin of 

 profit they are able to get for their goods 

 is not sufficient. Who is at fault for 

 this, and why isn 't something done to 

 help matters?
