in the trade, who bore in mind the date 

 of the event. Mr. and Mrs. Brill have 

 five children, one daughter being the wife

A GROWEK writes: "It is always an 

 aggravating experience to be forced to 

 observe plants mixed beyond redemp- 

 tion, when the whole were expected to 

 be of one variety and color, but extreme- 

 ly so when such a development means 

 the uselessness for market of the whole 

 product. The man or firm who can be 

 relied upon to furnish good seed, true 

 to name, should be counted among our 

 dearest friends on earth and frequent 

 inquiries made concerning the health of 

 such. ' ' 



It is becoming quite the fashion for 

 truck growers' associations to place bulk 

 orders for seeds. The Grayson County 

 Fruit and Truck Growers' Association 

 met January 11 at Denison, Tex., and 

 after listening to the report of a com- 

 mittee previously appointed, voted to 

 plant its acreage with Sure Head cab- 

 bage, Prizetaker onion, Rocky Ford can- 

 taloupe. Triumph potato and Alabama 

 Sweet watermelon. The committee was 

 authorized to buy for the association 

 seeds to plant its entire acreage, and 

 members were given until January 20 to 

 make known their individual require- 

 ments. It was reported that the com- 

 mittee had received quotations that indi- 

 cate a considerable saving by placing or- 

 ders in bulk. 



WITH THE CANNERS. 



It is said that with the canners there 

 is next to no business on peas for deliv- 

 ery from the 1908 pack. Buyers demand 

 a concession from the prices of last sea- 

 s'on, while canners want an advance. 

 Prices on Wisconsin goods are held firmly 

 but 80 far as can be learned the future 

 business in them has been a good deal 

 smaller than in previous years. Some of 

 the New York state packers are ready to 

 accept orders on the basis of last year's 

 pnces, and in one or two instances might 

 'Je induced to accept a little less, but the 

 •luestion of delivery terms is the rock on 

 which buyers and sellers split, the former 

 demanding guaranteed delivery on con- 

 tracts, while the latter are unwilling to 

 f'lose business except on a pro rata de- 

 livery basis. This difference is said to

be one of the main reasons for the back- 

 wardness of buying in future canned 

 goods generally and until after the na- 

 tional convention, when the question will 

 undoubtedly be a prominent subject of 

 discussion, it is believed that future busi- 

 ness will be slack. At the meeting of 

 the National Wholesale Grocers' Asso- 

 ciation executive committee, held in Chi- 

 cago January 20, this question of con- 

 tract deliveries formed the chief subject 

 for debate, and it is expected that a de- 

 cision will be reached which will enable 

 the jobbers to go to the canners' con- 

 vention in Cincinnati next month with a 

 well defined idea of what the jobbers 

 want and will insist upon having.
