ment armory and it was here that the 

 principal activity of the week was 

 found. The canning business, as with 

 every other large industry, is closely 

 related with other lines. The makers 

 of tin cans, lithographed labels and 

 many other specialties were largely rep- 

 resented. The canners are large buyers 

 of certain lines of seeds. They use 

 thousanpds of bushels of sweet corn, peas 

 and beans and thousands of pounds of 

 such smaller seeds as tomatoes, pump- 

 kins, squash, beets, spinach, etc. The 

 result was the attendance of a large 

 number of seedsmen, some firms having 

 as many as four salesmen present hust- 

 ling for orders, which were booked in 

 greater number and for heavier amounts 

 than usual, so that the seed trade is 

 well satisfied with the 1907 canners' 

 convention. 



Among the firms represented were: 

 W. W. Barnard Co. and Leonard Seed 

 Co., Chicago; D. M. Ferry & Co., De- 

 troit, Mich.; Everett B. Clark Co., Mil- 

 ford, Conn.; Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., 

 Cambridge, N. Y.; S. D. Woodruff & 

 Co., Orange, Conn. ; W. H. Grenell, Sagi- 

 naw, Mich.; Pacific Seed Growers Co., 

 San Francisco, Cal.; Bromfield, Colvin, 

 Eies Co., Bay City, Mich.; Sioux City 

 Seed & Nursery Co., Sioux City, la.; 

 N. B. Keeney & Son, Leroy, N. Y.; 

 Rogers Bros., Chaumont, N. Y. ; Cleve- 

 land Seed Co., Avon, N. Y., and Coryell 

 Seed Co. 



The Jerome B. Rice Seed Co. made a 

 nice display of peas and beans, also 

 onion seed, and booked its usual amount 

 of business. The Leonard Seed Co., Chi- 

 cago, made a larger display than usual, 

 of canners' specialties, mainly stand- 

 ard varieties of tomatoes, beans and 

 peas, and report good bookings of or- 

 ders. D. M. Ferry & Co. had a hand- 

 somely decorated booth, using photo- 

 graphs, seed packets and lithographed 

 labels. 



Phinney's string bean snipper at- 

 tracted its share of attention. This is

PERRY'S HARDY PLANT FARM, ENFIELD. ENGLAND 



something new and these enterprising 

 people had green string beans shipped 

 from Cuba and gave a practical demon- 

 stration of its working, after which the 

 beans were passed along to other ex- 

 hibitors of process machinery, who 

 cooked and put them into cans, these 

 canned beans were handed out as souve- 

 nirs. Corn husking machines attracted 

 much attention. This is something 

 which has been worked on for years 

 with only partial success. One husking 

 machine in particular was shown which 

 was not complicated and seemed to do 

 fine work, stripping tue ear clean of its 

 husk and silk. 



The seedsmen had no interest in the 

 proceedings of the convention, as no 

 topics relating to seeds were discussed. 

 The most interesting feature to the can- 

 ner was the opportunity presented of 

 getting exact information on the require- 

 ments of the new pure food law, about 

 which all the packers seem to be more 

 or less in doubt. The machinery and 

 supply dealers, who were, of course, 

 strongly represented, gave a reception 

 on Wednesday evening, and the Amer- 

 ican Can Co. leased the Lyric theater 

 for one evening and gave a theater 

 party for the entire convention.
