Development of Varieties. 



Commenting on the paper of W. Atlee 

 Burpee, on the Spencer sweet pea, W. 

 W. Tracy said : " Tt is especially inter 

 2sting because it brought out some prin- 

 ciples of seed growing which are not 

 generally recognized, namely, that there 

 is a gradual development in a species 

 as a result of which we have a sudden 

 break in varietal character. Such 

 breaks may occur in a number of dif- 

 ferent locations, identical in each case, 

 the same variation, and when occurring 

 it is comparatively easy to establish 

 an entire new race based on such varia- 

 tion. The same principle is illustrated 

 as developed in the case of beans, where 

 there is an occurrence of the dwarf 

 form of lima beans which was previous- 

 ly unknown and in a single year devel- 

 oped in a number of different places 

 and from a number of different varieties 

 the same dwarf habit. 



Grass Seed Dealers Meet. 



The Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' 

 Association, organized last year at Niag- 

 ara Falls, held a meeting at Atlantic 

 City after the adjournment of the Seed 

 Trade Association on the evening of 

 June 21, Albert McCullough in the chair, 

 and a large representation of its mem- 

 bership being present. Secretary C. F. 

 Wood's report of the year's work 

 showed the new organization to be get- 

 ting under good headway. 



Directors elected June 22 for three 

 years were: Chas. D. Boyles, Chicago; 

 John A. Smith, Toledo; A. E. Reynolds, 

 Crawfordsville, Ind. 



Hospitalities. 



The annual banquet was held as usual, 

 on the evening of the second day of the
