Thirty-third annual convention, San Francisco,

The German seeds are beginning to 

 move via Copenhagen. 



French seeds are coming via Marseilles 

 as VFeil as from Havre. 



The giganteums are in. The first ship- 

 ment reached New York October 2. 



The death of John M. Griffith, founder 

 of the Griffith & Turner Co., Baltimore, is 

 recorded in this week's obituary column. 



In one way or another most of those 

 in the seed trade will be able to pretty 

 thoroughly cover their needs for the 1914 

 season. 



You can set it down as certain that 

 there will be no shortage of valley. When 

 the pips are wanted, they will come. At 

 present there is no urgent reason for mov- 

 ing them from Hamburg, where there are 

 excellent cold storage facilities. 



The Shugart-Ouren Seed Co., of Coun- 

 cil Bluffs, la., starts the twenty-first year 

 of its existence with the following official 

 roster: President, C. G. Ouren; vice- 

 president, F. K. Davis; secretary, J. P. 

 Davis; treasurer, E. H. Gregory. 



Wholesale seedsmen whose travelers 

 call on country general stores find a gen- 

 eral disposition to go slow in placing 

 orders, although in the middle west it is 

 recognized that the big crops insure 

 plenty of money for the next few months. 



Upon request of the War 'Department, 

 the Treasury Department has authorized 

 the free entry of twenty-three cases of 

 bulbs imported from Holland for plant- 

 ing in the public grounds of Washington, 

 including the White House. The bulbs 

 were shipped from Rotterdam on the 

 ship Westerdyck and arrived in Balti- 

 more. 



H. A. Johns, of the Sioux City Seed & 

 Nursery Co., was a visitor in Chicago from 

 October 1 to' 5. Mr, Johns was on his 

 way home to Sioux City after a tour in 

 the bean section of Michigan. He confirms 

 the reports that the Michigan bean crop 

 is poor, but scarcely more so than in other 

 sections. While in the city Mr. Johns 

 spent a day at the office of the Leonard 

 Seed Co. 



Things are seldom so bad as they at 

 first seem, and this appears to be the 

 case with the European war and its ef- 

 fects on seed supply. While certain crops 

 in northern France have not been har- 

 vested, it now appears that in other places 

 the harvest has been or is being made 

 asd that America will receive, not only 

 its usual quota, but some seeds that ordi- 

 narily would have been sent elsewhere. 

 The English are strong in their determi- 

 nation to get along without supplies from 

 Germany. 



It is apparent that seedsmen are de- 

 voting their attention to ways and means 

 which will facilitate the movement of 

 bulbs at this time. Special sales, win- 

 dow trims of bulbs and appropriate ad- 

 vertising are being resorted to. Reports 

 indicate that sales of this stock are bet- 

 ter than usual for early October, which 

 would seem to show that the public is 

 gradually being educated, through the
