EUROPEAN NOTES. 



Agrictilttiral Seed Trade Association. 



At the annual general meeting of the 

 Agricultural Seed Trade Association of 

 the United Kingdom, Edward Sherwood 

 (of Hurst & Son), the president, occupied 

 the chair. Eepresentatives from many of 

 the leading firms were present and took 

 part in the proceedings, including Peter 

 Lawson . & Son, Edinburgh ; A. Cross & 

 Son, Glasgow; Bell & Bieberstedt, Leith; 

 Le May, London; E. P. Dixon & Sons, 

 Hull; C. Sharpe, Sleaford; Dickson, 

 Brown & Tait, Manchester; Dickson & 

 Eobinson, Manchester, etc. One of the 

 principal subjects discussed was the ap- 

 pointment of an analyst to test seeds for 

 members of the association. Herbert 

 Le May pointed out that the present prac- 

 tice of sending seeds to Zurich or Copen- 

 hagen to be tested was unsatisfactory. He 

 had approached tha Board of Agriculture, 

 suggesting that arf analyst should be ap- 

 pointed by the Board, but no progress 

 had been made. It was decided to ap- 

 proach Professor BrfFen, of Cambridge, 

 to ascertain if he was willing to under- 

 take analytical work for the association.

 burgh nursery trade. D. W. Thomson, on 

 behalf of 168 subscribers, presented Mr. 

 Grieve with a gold watch and chain and 

 a purse of sovereigns. In a genial, happjr 

 vein he referred to Mr. Grieve 's mam-
