Pres.. George S. Green, ChlcaKo; First Vice- 

 nres., M. H. Duryea, New York; Sec'y and 

 Treas., O. E. Kenael, Cleveland. Twenty-sixth 

 annual convention at Hotel Pontchartrafn, De 

 trolt, Mich., June 23 to 26. 1908. 



Geoboe E. Baker, of the Iowa Seed 

 Co., Des Moines, is ill and in the local 

 hospital. 



The market gardeners' strains of rad- 

 ish have been in strong request in the 

 last few weeks. 



The market gardeners in the Chicago 

 district have an organization with nearly 

 2,000 members. 



The agricultural appropriation bill, 

 with the usual free seeds paragraph, is 

 now in committee of the senate. 



A LABGEB acreage of onion seed will 

 be grown in the central west in 1908 than 

 ever before, if reports have it correctly. 



The bean growers are out after acres 

 for the 1908 crop. The general impres- 

 sion seems to be that much less land will 

 be planted to garden beans this year 

 than usual. 



Seedsmen all will be interested in 

 the address on advertising, by Robert 

 Pyle, of the Conard & Jones Co., de- 

 livered before the Florists' Club of Phila- 

 delphia and printed on page 10 of this 

 issue of the Review. 



Just at present it may look as though 

 the seed houses are overloaded with val- 

 ley pips, but a man of long experience 

 says that, between sales and losses, good 

 valley pips will be valuable property be- 

 fore new valley is in next fall. 



The Pre-Historic corn introduced as a 

 novelty in 1898 by J. A. Everett, of In- 

 dianapolis, is being tested by a jury in 

 the Criminal Court building, Chicago, 

 this week. Mr. Everett hopes that it 

 may be found innocent of having done 

 the farmer any harm. 



The planting of seeds for the onion 

 set crops is well under way at Louisville, 

 and at Chicago some seed has gone in 

 this week. The usual date for beginning 

 planting at Chicago is April 10, but, 

 while this has been a normal year as re- 

 gards temperature, the land has been too 

 wet for operations to begin as early as 

 they might otherwise have done. If the 

 seed is all in May 1, it is in season. 



Trade in all lines of the seed business 

 is reported to be steady. In general the 

 spring has been more normal than for 

 some years back. As a consequence there 

 has not been the see-sawing that pre- 

 vailed last year. In some instances the 

 lack of an extra rush for some of the 

 staples has been construed as indicating 

 a less than normal demand, but a careful 

 canvass of the situation shows that the 

 sales are fully up to the average, with 

 a good way yet to go and no freakish 

 conditions to upset calculations.
