AMEBICAN SEED TBADE IgSOCIATION. 



Pres.j Watson 8. Woodruff, Orange, Oonn.; 

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

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

 Twenty-eeventh annual convention, Niagara 

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



W. A. Sperling has succeeded Henry 

 Eicke as secretary of the Stumpp & 

 Walter Co., New York. 



J. M. Clark, of the Leonard Seed Co., 

 Chicago, has been in Michigan, looking 

 over the firm's contract radish. 



W. W. Barnard, president of The 

 W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, is seriously 

 ill and threatened with blood poisoning. 



The peas in Wisconsin and Michigan 

 are looking well, but are coming ahead 

 slowly because of continued cool weather. 



The Chicago and western seedsmen en 

 route to Niagara Falls will leave Chicago 

 at 3 p. m., Monday, June 21, via the 

 Wabash E. K, 



The Nebraska growers have every hope 

 of good yields of vine seeds this season, 

 tlie start having been made under good 

 soil conditions. 



The indications are that the meeting 

 of the American Seed Trade Association 

 at Niagara Falls next week will be one 

 of the largest of recent years, though 

 many well known men in the trade will 

 be absent, some in California and an 

 unusual number in Europe. 



CoNHAD Appel, of Darmstadt, Ger- 

 many, has sent members of the trade in 

 this country copies of his revised private 

 cable code, considerably amplified from 

 the first edition. The American Seed 

 Trade Association will shortly issue a 

 new code, the old one having become ob- 

 solete. 



The New York and southern New 

 lEngland delegation to the seedsmen's con- 

 vention at Niagara Falls will leave New 

 York city on the Empire State Express, 

 via N. Y. C. K. E., Monday morning, 

 June 21, at 8:30. President Watson S. 

 Woodruff, of Orange, Conn., will be with 

 ■the party. Parlor car seats have been re- 

 served for quite a number, and other 

 reservations may still be made. 



Francis Brill takes pride in the fact 

 that he is the pioneer of the great cab- 

 bage seed industry of Long Island. He 

 says that until he began business there 

 in '1870, "not a pound of seed of any 

 description was grown in Suffolk county, 

 N. Y. " His entire career as a seedsman, 

 however, covers a period of fifty years, 

 in Newark, N. J., from 1858 to 1870 and 

 on Long Island from 1870 to date. 



June 8 the onion seed and set district 

 around Chillicothe, O., was visited by 

 one of the heaviest hail storms in the 

 history of the county. Sehilder Bros, 

 say : ' ' Fortunately, we only had fifteen 

 acres of onion bulbs planted in the path 

 of the storm. These were heading out 

 nicely and were completely ruined. We 

 had three different varieties in the fif- 

 teen acres, composed of White Silverskin, 

 Bed Wethersfield and Southport Eed 

 Globe. Our seed acreage in other dis- 

 tricts is looking quite well to date, but is 

 beginning to show the effect of too much 

 rain."

Reports of damage by drought to 

 seed crops in France are believed to be 

 exaggerated. 



Boston seed houses doing plant trade 

 are still busy; the season has been ideal 

 from their point of view. 



W. E. Cahill, of the Stumpp & Walter 

 Co., New York, is convalescent after 

 seven weeks of illness in Boston. 



The California growers say crops are 

 looking pretty well, though each, if 

 urged, will admit the others arc not quite 

 up to his own. 



New England growing districts have 

 had a good season for the start of the 

 onion seed crop, but of course the crit- 

 ical time is at the finish of the crop. 



The government statistician figured 

 out that 90.9 per cent represented the 

 condition of the onion crop of the United 

 States June 1, as against 92.1 per cent 

 a year ago. 



At Cliicago June 15 timothy seed was 

 dull. September was offered at $4. 

 Country lots were quoted at $2.75@3.80. 

 At Toledo clover seed was, cash, $6.40; 

 October, .$6.90; December, $6.90; March, 

 $7.00. Timothy, prime, $1.95. Alsike, 

 prime, $8.00; August, $8.25. 



It becomes more and more evident that 

 the outcome of the tariff revision will not 

 be determined until the President's sig- 

 nature actually is on the document. There 

 is plenty of chance yet for changes wfiich 

 will upset the schedules in which the 

 trade is interested.
