AMERICAN SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION. 



Prea.. Watson 8. Woodruff, Orange, Conn.; 

 First Vice- pres., J. O. Robinson, Waterloo, Neb.; 

 Sec'y and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. 



S. F. Leonakd, of the Leonard Seed 

 Co., Chicago, has been in the Wisconsin 

 pea district for several days. 



The bean crops are now at a stage 

 when the weather is the factor in de- 

 termining what the harvest shall be. 



Visited Chicago. — "Walter Eetzer, vice- 

 president St. Louis Seed Co., St. Louis, 

 Mo.; Harry A. Bunyard, representing 

 A. T. Boddington, New York. 



Richard Steckleb, seedsman, has been 

 elected president of the New Orleans 

 Horticultural Society. His portrait ap- 

 pears on another page of this issue. 



The weather in the central west is re- 

 ported favorable to the onion seed crop. 

 The seed balls are well filled out and 

 harvest only about three weeks off. 



At Louisville the growers are in the 

 midst of the onion set harvest. Reports 

 have it that the Louisville crop will ex- 

 ceed last year's in quantity and is equal 

 in quality. 



The Lohrman Seed Co., Detroit, has 

 been incorporated. The stockholders are 

 Charles T. Lohrman, Philip Breitmeyer, 

 Harry Breitmeyer and E. Bleil. Capital 

 stock, all paid, $10,000. 



The increase in the demand for onion 

 sets is steady, and the increase in the 

 production does not keep pace with it. 

 Consequently there has been, and will 

 continue to be, a steady advance in the 

 market price of this commodity. 



The crop of cucumber seed in Michi- 

 ' gaU is not as good as it should be, ac- 

 cording to the week's reports. Radish 

 seed crops, on the other hand, are re- 

 ported in fine condition, with the pros- 

 pect of more than an average yield. 



The pea crop, from all accounts, will 

 not be too large. This applies especially 

 to the canners' varieties. The canners 

 have been complaining about the uneven 

 ripening of their crops this year; it has 

 lessened their packs and they are likely 

 to buy more seed for the coming year 

 for this reason. 



There is the usual summer lull in all 

 branches of the seed trade at present. 

 The workers are having their vacations 

 and little of interest can be gathered. 

 The bulb handlers are making prepara- 

 tions for the fall season, the pea and 

 bean growers are busy in the fields. The 

 Coast growers are busy at the harvest, 

 but those who are interested in knowing 

 what percentage of delivery will be made 

 on the contract basis are not likely to 

 get. definite information for some time 

 yet.
