that is to be put in. The new company 

 will deal in seeds, poultry supplies, farm 

 tools, implements and horse goods. The 

 president, Charles F. Saul, is the whole- 

 sale and retail seedsman of Syracuse, 

 and the manager, Douglas M. Ross, has 

 been connected with him for some time. 



In Joseph Breck & Son's seed cata- 

 logue there is enclosed advertising matter 

 for the real estate agency which is con- 

 ducted in connection with their seed 

 store and agricultural warehouse. 



TERMS IN THE SEED TRADE. 



Lester L. Morse, president of C. C. 

 Morse & Co., San Francisco, makes the 

 following statement under date of Jan- 

 uary 11 : 



"C. C. Morse & Co. announce that, in 

 common with the other seed growers in 

 California, they have agreed to change 

 the terms of payment on contracts which 

 have heretofore ruled in the seed busi- 

 ness, making them sixty days, or 2 per 

 cent discount for cash. This action they 

 claim is made necessary on account of 

 general business conditions on the Pacific 

 coast, where there is almost a famine of 

 labor and where nearly everything the 

 grower buys to conduct his farm is 

 bought on a spot cash basis. They claim 

 they are only asking that the seed deal- 

 ers share a small part of their burdens 

 by consenting to these reasonable busi- 

 ness terms. 



"They state that their action in not 

 sending a representative among the 

 trade this year and in not wishing to 

 book advance contracts against their 

 onion crop was not influenced in any way, 

 shape or manner by the attitude or ac- 

 tion of any other grower or any other 

 seedsman and was decided upon on ac- 

 count of the general conditions only. Ex- 

 cepting in the matter of terms they state 

 positively that they have no understand- 

 ings or arrangements with any other 

 grower or growers and they are in no 

 combinations. Any statement to the con- 

 trary is wholly without foundation."

New Willard hotel, Washington D. C, 

 January 10, and decided to hold the 

 next convention at New York city June 

 25-27. There were present President 

 H. W. Wood, W. H. Grenell, J, C. Robin- 

 son, and Secretary C. E. Kendel, and 

 by invitation Albert McCullough, Henry 

 Nungesser, George S. Green, Vice-Presi- 

 dent C. S. Burge, Alexander Forbes, W. 

 Atlee Burpee and F. W. Bolgiano. 



C. E. Kendel, Sec'y. 



The executive committee met to decide 

 the place for holding the next conven- 

 tion and to arrange a program for it. 

 New York was decided upon, but the 

 hotel has not yet been selected. There 

 will be several valuable papers pre- 



pared, but their subjects have not been 

 written out (or more properly, their 

 titles) so nothing can be given out along 

 those lines. 



A meeting before the agricultural 

 committee of the senate was held merely 

 to appear again at this time and add 

 a few more statements to the volumin- 

 ous testimony in support of the con- 

 tention made last spring before the 

 house committee on agriculture. What 

 the outcome will be is problematic. 



A meeting was held with the agros- 

 tologists of the Department of Agri- 

 culture for the purpose of answering a 

 set of questions relating to the ques- 

 tion of seed adulteration and while none 

 of the gentlemen referred to was inter-
