AMEBICllf SEED TBIDE ASSOCIATION. 



Pres., Henry W. Wood, Blchmond, Va.; Firat 

 Vlce-Pres , Charles Burgre, Toledo, O.; Sec'y and 

 Treaa., C. E. Kendal, Cleveland. The 26th annual 

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



The demand for Stone tomato is tax- 

 ing the sources of supply. 



Seed stock of the Early Ohio potato 

 begins to look good to those 'who have a 

 supply. 



Seed travelers report competition so 

 keen that profits will be but a side issue 

 if business is booked by them. 



It is reported that there are still a few 

 pounds of onion seed available. White 

 Globe, however, is said to be cleaned out. 



Theee are yet some acres needed for 

 pea planting for the coming year's seed 

 crop and reports have it that they are 

 getting hard to find. 



Visited Chicago: — W. H. Barrett, 

 Adrian, Mich. ; B. F. Adams, Peoria, 111, ; 

 Chas. P. Guelf, with Jerome B. Rice Seed 

 Co., Cambridge, N. Y. 



Nothing much is being said about the 

 probable size of the pickle acreage for 

 the coming year. But the pickle men 

 will likely get busy later on. 



The idea that all garden seeds are 

 sold by means of catalogues is a mis- 

 taken one. Every country newspaper is 

 now carrying the advertisement of the 

 local seed dealer. 



It is reported that John Lewis Childs, 

 of Moral Park, who sold the Mayflower 

 a year or so ago, is contemplating start- 

 ing another "floral" paper, with D. J. 

 Thomas, founder of Floral Life, as edi- 

 tor. 



If the sales of narcissus bulbs were 

 based on the prices realized for the cut 

 blooms since the latter part of Febru- 

 ary the demand would be considerably 

 curtailed. Early prices were satisfac- 

 tory. 



TO THE TRADE... 



Just issued — oar special price list 

 giving our position on onion seed. 



We shall send this to the Trade, 

 being unable to make the personal 

 visit contemplated. Please write 

 for it.

The accidental death, by poisoning, of 

 the daughter of J. W. Ratekin, Shenan- 

 doah, la., is reported in our obituary col- 

 umn this week. 



It looks as though the onion set grow- 

 ers will not plant as much seed this yesir 

 as last. Onion sets are going at good 

 prices, though, and perhaps this will 

 stimulate things before the planting sea- 

 son is over. 



A COMBINATION, Or an agreement of 

 some kind that would restrain one dealer 

 from cutting another's prices, is much 

 desired and talked about by the whole- 

 sale seed dealers, but they fail to do 

 anything definite. 



Boston seed houses report counter 

 trade much behind that of a year ago at 

 this date, due to the continued severe 

 weather, and a congestion of business is 

 sure to follow the breaking of winter. 

 Mail orders have been over the average. 



When P. T. Poulsen, traveling for A. 

 T. Poulsen, seed grower, of Copenhagen, 

 Denmark, reached Chicago on his jour- 

 ney he liked the town and the people so 

 well he decided to settle down there, but
