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

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

 TresB., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. The 25th annual 

 meetlnjr will be held at New York City, June, laOT 



Tuberose and caladium bulbs are 

 scarce. 



Visited Chicago: H. W. Buckbee, 

 Eockford, 111. 



Sweet corn, especially the later can- 

 ners' sorts, seems to be overplentiful at 

 present. 



Mail and telegraph service is badly 

 disorganized in California on account 

 of floods in the Sacramento river. 



The onion set acreage will be in- 

 creased instead of being diminished, 

 judging from present indications. 



If the weather holds as at present in 

 the seed pea growing regions, unusually 

 early planting will take place this year. 



The rush is for seeds for pickles just 

 now, but White Portugal onion will have 

 an inning before the close of the season. 



Seeding for the coming year's crop 

 of onion sets has commenced at Chicago 

 and a strong demand for seed has de- 

 veloped. 



There were 269 bags of garden seeds 

 on steamer United States, which saiieu 

 from New York for Copenhagen 

 March lb. 



The remaining stock and the plant of 

 the Thompson Seed Co., Albert Lea, 

 Minn., were sold at auction March 23 and 

 the business wound up. 



Standard varieties of carrot, radish, 

 beets and many other seeds are hard to 

 get hold of, notwithstanding the many 

 surplus offers that are floating around. 



Apparently there is no surplus of the 

 cafiners ' varieties of peas. Another spurt 

 is expected in this department of the 

 seed trade when things adjust them- 

 selves. 



It is surprising to note what a num- 

 ber and variety of stores in small towns 

 are handling seeds in considerable quan- 

 tity this season, pushing the business by 

 means of local advertising. 



The far east is offering a small sur- 

 plus of seed of the Globe varieties of 

 onion. No cut in price is being made 

 and this is taken as an indication that 

 everything is well cleaned up. 



The tomato is one of the important 

 crops of Maryland and the Maryland 

 Agricultural Experiment Station has de- 

 scribed experiments in tomato growing in 

 a booklet, just out, which will interest 

 every seedsman. 



Summer-like weather at Chicago has 

 livened things during the past week. 

 Counter trade is reported far ahead of 

 last year at this date and the market 

 gardeners' seed and jobbing trades have 

 beaten all records for March. 



Onion sets advanced as much as 75 

 cents per bushel in less than two hours 

 during Monday of this week. The sup- 

 ply is short, the demand strong and all 

 colors going readily at $3 per bushel. It 

 was feared that the end-up of the sea- 

 son would show a sharp decline in prices, 

 but the unusual call has put that con- 

 tingency outside the possibilities.
