Me''*'on The Review when vou wrifj 



the year in the view of a good many 

 seedsmen and nearly every grower and 

 jobber of note seems to be on deck to 

 meet customers. Many have their wives 

 and families with them. Creditable seed 

 exhibits are made by the Leonard Seed 

 Co., D. M. Terry & Co., J. B. Kice Seed 

 Co., S. D.' Woodruff & Son, Everett 

 B. Clark Seed Co., and others. Each of 

 the firms who make the canners' trade 

 a specialty have two, three or more rep- 

 resentatives looking after their interests. 

 Some of these representatives have badges 

 on their coats, so that the canners at- 

 tending can see at a glance who to go to 

 when desirous of placing an order for 

 peas, corn, tomatoes, etc. The energy 

 displayed by these representatives would 

 indicate that the canners are decidedly 

 worth going after. It is remarkable 

 how great an increase in the quantities of 

 seeds needed by canners has developed 

 in the last three years and there seems 

 to be no sign that it will decrease. 



Unlike many conventions, this one's 

 activities are centralized in one place — 

 the big armory. Here is a veritable 

 beehive of mechanical development, the 

 large drill shed having been converted 

 into an immense cannery, where almost 

 every process known to the industry is 

 exemplified by various types of ma- 

 chines. The machinery exhibit is said to 

 be the largest and best, and the facilities 

 for display the most complete the asso- 

 ciation has ever held. 



In the assembly hall of the armory the 

 formal sessions of the convention are 

 held. This year, these will be less elabo- 

 rate than in former years, in order that 

 the machinery exhibit may claim more 

 attention. The scant time given for in- 

 spection of machinery has been a matter 

 of some complaint in years past, a fact 

 which the committee on arrangements has 

 carefully heeded, much to the satisfac- 

 tion of the seedsmen present.
