 Twentv-se Tenth annual conTentlon, Niagara 

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



The peas are not yet all in the ground. 



Visited Chicago: H. W. Buckbee, 

 Rockford, 111. 



Henry Field has returned to Shenan- 

 doah, la., after a trip east. 



Some of the bean growers are still 

 looking for a few more acres. 



Sweet corn is in demand. Little of 

 the later varieties has as yet been planted 

 in the vicinity of the ' ' great central mar- 

 ket." 



Venerable Charles L. Allen, pioneer 

 Long Island seedsman, died May 22. His 

 portrait and a brief sketch appear on 

 page 15. 



The seedsman 's trade is reported to be 

 bumping itself. It is no more than right 

 that it should, considering the rest that 

 it took a week or so ago. 



The weather has continued unreason- 

 ably cold over a large part of the country 

 — an occasional spring day and then a 

 relapse to a March temperature. 



A NOTE in the Nursery Department re- 

 cords that the Henry Field Seed Co., 

 Shenandoah, la., has acquired the peony 

 stock of the late H. A. Terry, Crescent, la. 



Hugo Beyer, the veteran seedsman 

 and plantsman of Iowa, died May 1,9 at 

 his home, about four miles outside of 

 New London, where he has lived alone 

 for several years. A note appears in the 

 obituary column this week. 



E. J. Deal, general manager of W. W. 

 Johnson & Son, Ltd., Boston, England, is 

 planning a visit to this country in August 

 and September. He expects to sail from 

 Liverpool July 31. He has many friends 

 in the trade here, but has not been over 

 for several years. 



It is just at the beginning of the 

 planting season in the Colorado vine seed 

 section and too early to give any idea of 

 crop prospects except that the seed is 

 going in under excellent soil conditions. 

 D. V. Burrell states that he is putting in 

 a somewhat increased acreage. 



A. H. Goodwin, viee-president of the 

 W. W. Barnard Co., has returned to Chi- 

 cago from a six months' trip through 

 Europe. An involuntary delay of ten 

 days in Sicily, caused by the recent 

 earthquake, was the first experience after 

 reaching European soil last December. 



The annual meeting of the Iowa Seed 

 Dealers' Association will be held at the 

 Chamberlain hotel, in Des Moines, Tues- 

 day, June 1, and it is believed that there 

 will be a full attendance of members, as 

 quite important matters are to come up 

 before this meeting. GhaTlfis N. Page, 

 of the Iowa Seed Co., is pftwident. 



The John H. Alias Seed Co., Sheboy- 

 gan, Wis., filed new articles of incorpo- 

 ration with the Secretary of State at 

 Madison May 13. The business wa^ es- 

 tablished in 1856, incorporated in 1892, 

 and the new articles, which state the 

 capital to be $110,000, are signed by E. 

 M. Parmelee, president; W. B. Lucas, 

 treasurer, and A. L. Sommer, secretary.

Most of the onion set fields in the Chi- 

 cago district are said to be showing a 

 good stand. 



The canning season in the Baltimore 

 district opened last week and will soon 

 be under full headway. 



The end-up of the season is not likely 

 to show 1909 as good as an average year.
