AMEBIGAN SEED TBADE 18H0CIATI0N.

 Vice-pres., M. H. Duryea, New York; Sec'y and 

 Treas., 0. £. Kendel, Oleveland. O. 



J. C. EOBINSON has just returned to 

 Waterloo, Neb., from the eastern trip on 

 which he was elected president of the 

 Seed Trade Association. 



C. WiLLARD Smith, well known as a 

 salesman for the Leonard Seed Co., Chi- 

 cago, was drowned while bathing in Lake 

 Michigan July 18. A portrait and bio- 

 graphical sketch appear in the obituary 

 column on page 12. 



C. H. Coy, president of the C. Herbert 

 Coy Seed Co., Valley, Neb., paid a visit 

 to his father, E. L. Coy, at Melrose, 

 Mass., following the Niagara Falls con- 

 vention. He passed through Chicago, 

 homeward bound, July 16. 



The Senate bill specific duties on bulbs, 

 if they become law, will effect a consid- 

 erable reduction on many items, and it 

 seems quite likely the new tariff bill may 

 become effective right in the midst of the 

 season during which bulbs are arriving. 



Bepobts on condition of trade gener- 

 ally are normal and satisfactory. Trav- 

 eling men seem to be picking up quite a 

 few orders and the general feeling among 

 the country merchants who handle seeds 

 points to a good business for the coming 

 year. 



Reports from the pea and bean grow- 

 ing sections are favorable as a whole. In 

 some sections rain was needed and, not 

 coming in time, has probably shortened 

 many of the earlier varieties of peas. The 

 bean crops are pushing along nicely and 

 conditions at present are favorable. 



Harry L. Mixson, of the W. H. Mix- 

 son Seed Co., Charleston, S. C, who has 

 the distinction of being the youngest 

 member of the Seed Trade Association 

 and the only one from south of Mason 

 and Dixon's line, present at the Niagara 

 Falls convention, visited the Long Island 

 cabbage seed growers on his way home. 



The onion set situation at Chicago in- 

 dicates that a fairly good crop vrill be 

 harvested. Some bad reports come from 

 Louisville, where the weather has been 

 overwet, and as it comes just at the time 

 to harvest it is doing considerable harm. 

 The chances are that the crop at Louis- 

 ville will be much below what it was last 

 year. The set crop at Chicago will likely 

 be equal to last year's, but not any bet- 

 ter.

HjaijMAe Habtmann & Co., Copen- 

 hagen, Denmark, say that all root seeds 

 will be scarce this year, as the roots 

 were much damaged during winter. 



French bulbs, as well as Dutch, will 

 be late this season. Advices to hand this 

 week indicate it may be August 7 before 

 any considerable quantities of French 

 stock reach New York.

The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus,

 are coming along finely. They do not 

 recall a season in recent years when the 

 first clusters set so freely and formed so 

 splendidly as this year. They have 400 

 acres of plants growing for seeds and say 

 that a full crop will be especially wel- 

 come this year, because of the sold-out
