last that will be heard of it. A hearing 

 was to have been held May 22, but some 

 of the big seed people got busy and 

 took the short route." 



C. E. Kenoel, secretary of the Ameri- 

 can Seed Trade Association, reports that 

 special railroad rates to the New York 

 convention were asked for, but refused 

 on account of the regular low rates that 

 prevail in many eastern states. Bates 

 may, however, be secured in connection 

 with the Jamestown exposition. 



CALIFORNIA CONDITIONS. 



Writing under date of May 22, Lester 

 L. Morse, of C. C. Morse & Co., San 

 Francisco, said: 



"Crops present a rather better ap- 

 pearance sinc^ they have been hoed, but 

 the prospects are not at all encourag- 

 ing. Many of our crops were planted 

 very late and the lands have become very 

 hard and dry. Onions are suffering con- 

 siderably from mildew blight; there is 

 no question but what the crop will be 

 light. ' ' 



PLOVS MELON LAND BY STEAM 



Word comes from Manzanola, Colo., 

 that for a week prior to May 16 D. V. 

 Burrell, of Rocky Ford, had a monster 

 steam plow breaking ground on the vir- 

 gin prairies about two miles north and 

 a little east of Manzanola. This land 

 is now under a canal that was run 

 through that section of the country last 

 summer. Mr. Burrell will cultivate 3,000 

 acres, planting all in cantaloupe for the 

 seeds. This part of the valley seems to 

 be particularly well adapted to raising 

 melons for seed. The soil has the right 

 proportions of sand and other properties 

 for forming the finest quality of the net- 

 ted varieties of cantaloupe, which are 

 now in such demand in the eastern mar- 

 kets. The big steam plow has a spec- 

 tacular appearance as it draws the chain 

 of plows from one end of the field to 

 the other by the aid of an immense cable.

CONVENTION PROGRAM. 



The twenty-fifth annual convention of 

 the American Seed Trade Association 

 will be held at the Hotel Astor, New 

 York, June 25 to 27. The program is 

 shorter than some have been, but it was 

 deemed advisable to allow plenty of time 

 for the discussion of important commit- 

 tee reports that will be presented this 

 year. The program is as follows: 



"RemlnUcenceB of the Seed Trade," by F. W. 

 Bruggerhof, of J. M. Thorburn & Co., New 

 York. 



"What the Department of Agriculture Is 

 Doing for the Seed Trade," by Dr. B. T. Gal- 

 loway, U. S. Department of Agriculture. 



"History of the American Seed Trade Asso- 

 ciation," by S. F. WlUard, of Comstock, Ferre 

 & Co., Wethersfleld, Conn. 



"The Congressional Seed Distribution," by 

 Alexander Forbes, of Peter Henderson & Co., 

 New York. 



"The Twentieth Century Seed Catalogue," by 

 J. Horace McFarland, Harrlsburg, Pa. 



"Is It Advisable to Offer Discounts from Cat- 

 alogue Prices?" a discussion, opened by Wal- 

 ter P. Stokes, Philadelphia, Pa. 



Changes in the by-laws are proposed 

 raising the annual dues to $10 a year 

 and providing that if the personnel of 

 a firm or corporation is changed, mem- 

 bership can be continued only by unani- 

 mous vote of the membership committee. 



The entertainment committee promises 

 Sl pleasant, as well as profitable, week to

 This Charming addition to our green-

 Gardens. Kew, as an accidental cross be- 

 tween the small, but bright • flowered 

 Himalayan species, P. FLORIBUNDA, 

 and the sweet-scented P. VERTIOILLATA, 

 a native of Arabia. The plant is a strong 

 grower, with bright green leaves, and 

 numerous erect flowerscapes. 10 to 18 

 inches in height, producing flowers in 

 whorls at intervals along their whole 

 length. The flowers are fragrant, bright 

 yellow in color, with a slender tube and 

 spreading limb, nearly an inch in diame- 

 ter. As a winter-flowering decorative 

 plant it is an acquisition: its floriferous- 

 ness when in a very small state is re- 

 markable.
