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

 Vlce-Pre8MCharl«B Burge, Toledo, O.; Sec'y and 

 TTreas-.C. B. Kendal, Cleveland. The 26th annual 

 tneetlnr will b« held at New York City, June, 1907. 



The market gardeners are astir. They 

 fear inability to procure seed of their 

 favorite strains. 



The after Christmas lull will give 

 some of the seedsmen a chance to adjust 

 onion seed prices. 



Some of the posted ones state that the 

 green-podded beans will not bring the 

 prices they did last year. 



The general demand for advanced 

 prices on contract orders is not meeting 

 with the resistance the grower feared. 



It is a safe guess that nobody knows 

 ■what onion sets will be worth in the 

 spring, unless they have the amount 

 nominated on the bond. 



Speaking of onion seed, there is one 

 good thing to be noted, and that is the 

 fact that there is no supply of the 

 Globe varieties to be had from promis- 

 cuous sources. 



The two representatives of the Cali- 

 fornia seed growing interests, who are 

 the only ones thus far engaged in an 

 eastern trip this season, report business 

 booked up to the limit of their resources. 



With the exception of beans and po- 

 tatoes, the prices in the 1906 retail cata- 

 logues would do just as well for 1907, 

 and those who depend on the cut rate for 

 their trade wouiu be just about as far 

 below the quality pushers. 



Theee is wide call for reliable seeds 

 of forcing strains of lettuce, cucumber, 

 radish, etc. The seedsman who estab- 

 lishes, through advertising, a wide rep- 

 utation for reliable stock will have a 

 permanent asset in a steady mail order 

 trade. 



It doesn't look as though congress is 

 very anxious to legislate on free seeds, 

 the tariff, the parcels post, or any other 

 of the weighty subjects before it, when it 

 takes a holiday recess from December 

 20 to January 3. The session ends March 

 4, 1907. 



The general catalogue of Walter ' P. 

 Stokes, Philadelphia, was received De- 

 cember 21. It prices Yellow Globe onion 

 at $2.75 and White Globe at $3.50; 

 Wardwell's, Davis' and Refugee wax 

 beans at $6; Alaska peas, $4.50; turnip 

 beets, 65 cents to 75 cents per pound.

Strange things crop out when condi- 

 tions are favorable. It is reported that 

 some of the California growers have 

 bought onion seed at a point quite dis- 

 tant from the home ranch and are hav- 

 ing it shipped to them by freight at 

 regular rates. What are they going to 

 do with this seed?
