President, Lester L. Morse, San J^anclsco, Cal.; 

 Secretary -Treasurer, C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. 



Thirty-third annual convention, San Francisco. 

 Cul., Ittl5. 



The imports of clover seeds through 

 the port of New York for the week end- 

 ) ing September 19 were 142,000 pounds. 



In their novelty list C. C. Morse & Co. 

 say of sweet peas, "We have had a fair 

 crop this season, the first in three years. ' ' 



Widening of the street on which it 

 fronts has made necessary the remodeling 

 of the store of the Hardie Seed Co., at 

 Dallas, Tex. 



We take The Eeview for the sake of 

 one department, the Seed Trade News, 

 and it is well worth it.— D. O. Coe,' 

 Topeka, Kan. 



It would be of far greater benefit to 

 the planter to compel by law the label- 

 ing of all seeds with place of origin 

 than it would to require printing the ger- 

 mination test. 



FpANK CuTHBERTSON has just reached 

 San Francisco after a visit to his parents 

 at Edinburgh and a call on European 

 seedsmen for his firm, C. C. Morse & Co. 

 Mr, Cuthbertson left the seed ranch in 

 early June. 



The alarm as to sugar beet seed may 

 now subside, along with others. In the 

 week ending September 19, through the 

 port of New York, imports of sugar beet 

 seed were 44,800 pounds, with plenty 

 more on the way. 



England has forbidden trading with 

 the enemy during the war. Consequently 

 no Oerman seeds will be received in Eng- 

 land even via neutral countries, which 

 means that America is about the only 

 market for the 1914 seed crop of 

 Germany. 



The seed trade should push bulb sales 

 with the public, for bedding purposes. 

 Special sales, backed by window displays 

 and good newspaper advertising, will 

 clear a large part of the surplus. It is 

 up to the trade to make American door- 

 yards bloom next spring as never be- 

 fore. 



Statistics for the port of New York 

 show that the imports classified as "trees 

 and plants" have been unusually large 

 in September, but bulbs are put in this 

 group and account for the greater part 

 of the total. In the week ending Sep- 

 tember 19 the value of all imports in this 

 group was $126,588. 



Due to the marked failure of the onion 

 set crop in the Louisville, Chillieothe, and 

 other districts in the middle west, prices 

 in the Chicago market show an increase 

 of thirty per cent since August 1. In the 

 Chicago section there was a fair average 

 crop and onion set men consider pros- 

 pects to be good. Dealers are well sold 

 up. Shipments will be made to southern 

 points immediately following October 1. 



J. J. BuDLONG, of the L. A. Budlong 

 Co., of Chicago, is so pressed by duties 

 in connection with his bank and real 

 estate business that he does not find much 

 time to enter actively into the adminis- 

 tration of the extensive Budlong gardens 

 at Bo^manville. • As the onion set crop 

 is being handled for storage and ship- 

 ment, Mr. Budlong thinks the prospects 

 for the season ^re.good. He says the
