The Weekly Florists' Review. 



January 21, 1909. 



Seed Trade News. 



AHEBICAN 8BED TBADE ASSOCIATION. 



PrcB. WatBon S. Woodruff, Orange, Conn.; 

 First Vice-pres., J. 0. Robinson, Waterloo, Neb.; 

 Sec'y and Treas., 0. E. Kendel, Cleveland. 



Bush Lima varieties of beans are re- 

 ported very scarce. 



Visited Chicago: John Bodger, Jr., 

 of John Bodger & Son, Santa Paula, 

 Cal. 



Mail trade is reported to be coming 

 in strongly and meeting expectations 

 fully. 



Eeports from Holland speak of severe 

 cold, with little, if any, snow on the 

 bulb fields. 



Many of the seed growers are making 

 arrangements for a good display of can- 

 ners' seeds at the coming annual con- 

 vention of canners at Louisville, Feb- 

 ruary 1 to 6. 



The "Wooster Nursery Co., Wooster, O., 

 recently took over the seed business of 

 E. C. Green & Son, of Medina, Stephen 

 M. Green becoming manager of the seed 

 and greenhouse departments of the com- 

 pany. 



The prices for peas are higher on the 

 average than they have been for a long 

 time and the orders that are being 

 booked for next year's business indicate 

 that high prices are expected to prevail 

 for some time to come. 



The canners are preparing for a 

 rousing convention at Louisville, Feb- 

 ruary 1 to 6. Many seedsmen will be in 

 attendance, but to secure admission they 

 will have to wear the membership badge 

 of the Machinery and Supply Associa- 

 tion. 



Some of the California growers on 

 their way home from the east are not 

 as optimistic as when going the other 

 way. They report that they do not meet 

 the old-fashioned reception. This they 

 lay to the fact that the old timers are 

 dropping out and the newer workers do 

 not know them so well or follow the old 

 methods. 



The onion set growers in the Chicago 

 district are preparing to increase their 

 plantings. There seems to be no limit 

 to the possibilities for riches in this line, 

 in the minds of some who have hit it 

 right during the last year or two. Some 

 of the older growers still remember, 

 however, the time when they used onion 

 sets as a fertilizer. 



The stock of the Ebbert Seed Co., 

 Eocky Ford, Colo., which had been taken 

 over by the receiver of the defunct State 

 bank on account of paper which the 

 bank held of the company, was put up at 

 public auction January 11 and sold to 

 the highest bidder. It was finally bought 

 in by W. B. Mandeville, cashier of the 

 Eocky Ford National Bank, for $800. 



Complaint seems to be general 

 against the appearance of the samples 

 of beans harvested during 1908. It is 

 unfortunate when a crop is short ia 

 quantity as well as poor in quality. The 

 fact that beans of the 1907 crop are 

 available for this year 's delivery in some 

 cases helps out, and there is a feeling 

 that carried-over beans will be likely to 

 give better satisfaction than the new 

 crop article.
