That promises to be corrected in part 

 with this year's crop. Understand that 

 I do not predict low prices, but moderate 

 prices. The high prices have done their 

 part in increasing the acreage devoted 

 to seed growing, but of equal importance 

 has been the mild winter that has per- 

 mitted all biennials to winter well. 



' * High prices for any crop will nat- 

 urally correct themselves, by increased 

 production, though the situation in seeds 

 may be a little slower in working out 

 than it is witli less specialized crops, 

 partly because of a succession of poor 

 crop years, partly because of a scarcity 

 of stock seeds in some important lines 

 and partly because the demand for seeds 

 has increased .at an unforeseen rate, in 

 Germany, France, England and Holland, 

 «s well as in America. ' ' 



Mr. Sluis is accompanied on his Amer- 

 ican trip by his brother, P. Sluis, for- 

 merly a seed grower, but for the last fif- 

 teen years a dealer in bird seed at Am- 

 sterdam. 



VALUES OF BIENNIALS. 



A special meeting of the board of 

 directors of the Wholesale Seedsmen's 

 League was held at New York May 5, 

 the object being to discuss conditions pre- 

 vailing as to the growing seed crops of 

 the biennial families, plants of which 

 were raised last midsummer and autumn, 

 1909, for the production of a seed har- 

 vest this midsummer, 1910. 



The directors present were F. W. 

 Bruggerhof, C. H. Breck, W. Atlee Bur- 

 pee, Robert Buist, H. W. Wood, S. F.
