trust for the purpose of controlling the 

 price of blue grass seed and the produc- 

 tion, in violation of the anti-trust law of 

 the state of Kentucky. 



The Kentucky Blue Grass Seed Co. has 

 one of the finest cleaning plants in the 

 United States, located in Mt. Sterling, 

 and the men sued individually are among 

 the wealthiest in that section. 



COOPER-TABER'S CROPS. 



The following summary of prospects 

 for 1909 harvest was received May 24 by 

 a correspondent of Cooper, Taber & Co., 

 London : * 



Beet — Table varieties seriously dam- 

 aged, especially the extra early kinds. 

 Crosby's Egyptian and Detroit will be 

 very short. Long varieties are doing 

 fairly well. 



Beet — Sugar and Swiss chard have suf- 

 fered severely, and the same is true of 

 mangel wurzel. In each case a large 

 acreage was planted. 



Borecole, Brussels sprouts and kohlrabi 

 — A moderate stand. 



Cabbage — All varieties have been badly 

 damaged, but it is not possible to say 

 definitely now what proportion will sur- 

 vive. 



Carrot — Long varieties are standing 

 well, but the early short varieties are 

 about twenty-five per cent less than 

 planted. 



Celery — All varieties nearly destroyed, 

 and the crops will be very small. 

 Celeriac — About one-half standing. 

 Endive and leek — Moderately good. 

 Onion — Italian varieties promise about 

 two-thirds of a crop. French grown vari- 

 eties will be short. 



Parsley and parsnip — Nearly an aver- 

 age. 



Radish — Winter varieties about two- 

 thirds standing. 



Rutabaga — American and Long Island 

 Purple-top doing well ; Universal nearly a 

 failure; Best of All, Monarch or Ele- 

 phant and Magnum Bonum doing very 

 badly; other varieties fairly good. 



Turnip — White Globe Strap-leaved 

 failed; Golden Ball, Early Red (Purple) 

 Top Globe and Purple and White Milan 

 will be very short ; other varieties promise 

 more than half a crop. 



Annual Crops — Stock seeds are all 

 sown, but nothing further can be reported 

 at present. 



SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. 



Annual Convention. 



In his announcement of arrangements 

 for the approaching convention of the 

 American Seed Trade Association, Secre- 

 tary C. E. Kendel confirms the report first 

 published in last week's Review that 

 Conrad Appel is sending a representative 

 from Darmstadt to meet the grass seed 

 dealers. The secretary's circular is as 

 follows : 



"The Clifton hotel, Niagara Falls, 

 Ontario, has been selected as headquar- 

 ters for the twenty-seventh annual con- 

 vention, June 22 to 24. 



"A special rate has been obtained for 

 the members as follows, all on the Amer- 

 ican plan, which includes the banquet on 



THE FIRST OPFER OF 



''Rawson's Beauties'' Cmeraria 



This is an entirely new strain and oflered for the first time. It is dwarf in 

 type and bears the largest heads of the best colored and finest formed flowers 

 that we bave ever seen exhibited anywhere. 



It will be a great surprise to those who raise Cinerarias, and all we ask is a 

 simple trial. Per trad* paokace, $S.OO; per ^ trade paokace, $1.00.
