ATLANTIC CITY CONVENTION. 



[The first two days of the convention were 

 fully reported in Tlie Review for June 23.] 



One of the Best. 



The general opinion of the Atlantic 

 City convention was that it was one of 

 the best in the whole history of the 

 American Seed Trade Association. 

 While the discussions were meager, the 

 sessions were full of interest. The real 

 work always is done by oflScera and com- 

 mittees, and not in convention, and this 

 meeting served, perhaps more than any 

 other, to show how heavy and effective 

 has been the work performed by the 

 association's representatives in the in- 

 terest of the whole seed trade. There 

 has been a steady growth in accom- 

 plishment, especially in the last few 

 years. As President-elect Page said on 

 assuming the chair: "I am impressed, 

 and I think you are, that for the last 

 few years in particular this association 

 has been growing, not so much in num- 

 bers' US in its work, in its quality, and 

 in its achievements^ -I believe that it 

 stands for Jnofe today than it ever did 

 before, and I see no reaBon why in the 

 years to come it cannot stand for yet 

 more and more."
