 Twenty-seventh annual convention, Niagara 

 Palls, Ont., June 22 to 24. 1909. 



Market garden trade is reported to be 

 opening up in good shape. 



Mail order houses in the seed line are 

 satisfied with January receipts, and the 

 outlook for February is hopefut 



Some varieties of muskmelon, notably 

 the much-called-for Osage, are scarce. 

 Monte Cristo watermelon is also hard to 

 get hold of.

There seems to be enough seed on 

 hand to supply all the onion set growers, 

 notwithstanding that a largely increased 

 acreage will be planted, if reports are 

 reliable. 



Late as is the date, considerable quan- 

 tities of Grerman valley pips still are ar- 

 riving. On the boat from Hamburg 

 reaching New York January 26 were 

 187 cases for H. F. Darrow and eighty- 

 four cases for Vaughan's Seed Store. 



Word comes from California that most 

 of the seed growers have had a touch 

 of the troubles incident to high water. 

 Not only have the farms "up the river" 

 been flooded, but the ditches in the val- 

 ley are reported to have overflowed. 



In the matter of a consignment of 

 Scarlet Globe Forcing radish, exported 

 November 28 by Vilmorin, Andiieox ft 

 Co., Paris, entered at Boston, the apprais- 

 ers added the cost of packing, but did 

 not advance the invoice price of 75 

 francs per hundredweight. 



The senate committee on agriculture 

 at Washington, January 3, ordered a 

 favorable report on the bill to prevent 

 the adulteration of insecticides, substan- 

 tially as published some months ago in 

 the Eeview. Violations of the act are 

 punishable by fines ranging from $200 to 

 $1,000, or by imprisonment, or both. 



LouiSvniiE is due to be heard from in 

 the onion set situation. If, as is sup- 

 posed, Louisville is pretty well sold out 

 and has none hid away, prices of sets 

 will go higher than they went last year. 

 From all reports, onion sets have kept 

 well and the shipments are giving good 

 satisfaction to the purchaser. At Chi- 

 cago, shipments are being pushed for- 

 ward. 



The wholesale seedsmen report good 

 business. There is a great hustle on to 

 get out the orders so that the smaller 

 merchant will be in readiness when his 

 time comes. There is a good deal of 

 complaint at the long delay in getting 

 the appraisers' hands off of articles that
