since joining the club, been regular in 

 his attendance and an active worker, be- 

 ing specially valuable as chairman of the

 known to a large proportion of the trade 

 and private gardeners in the east. 



THE SITUATION IN SEEDS. 



Writing from Milford, Conn., March 

 7, Arthur B. Clark, president of the 

 Everett B. Clark Seed Co., had the fol- 

 lowing to say of conditions in Connecti- 

 cut and in' the Wisconsin and Michigan 

 sections where his firm operates.: 



"Conditions in the seed trade at the 

 present time are wholesome; by which 

 we mean that there is a fair supply of 

 our principal items, so that values are 

 not exorbitant, and yet there is suffi- 

 cient demand to keep prices at a re- 

 munerative level, and apparently suffi- 

 cient demand to thoroughly clean out our 

 stocks at satisfactory values. 



"We have been disappointed somewhat 

 in our crop of Connecticut grown seed 

 corn. You know when the crop that we 

 produce here in Connecticut gives out, 

 we are out of the business for the sea- 

 son, because we deal only in Connecticut 

 grown seed in the items of sweet corn, 

 onion, beet, turnip, parsnip, etc., and as 

 we have said, our sweet corn has been 

 disappointing this season in that we have 

 much less merchantable seed after sort- 

 ing our crops than we supposed we had 

 when we put them on the racks. The 

 corn did not cure as well as last fall, 

 and we have therefore had to throw out 

 into the waste quite a percentage of the 

 crop. What we have been able to save, 

 however — that is, what did cure — seems 

 to have cured quite well, as the vitality 

 is showing up so far quite satisfactorily 

 on the whole. 



"We know of nothing of particular 

 interest to the trade in the growing end 

 of the business at just this time. We 

 presume the seed trade realizes pretty 

 well what the growers are up against in 

 Michigan and Wisconsin this season to 

 get their seed stocks planted, as the diffi- 

 culty in getting acreage, particularly in 

 beans, is even greater than it was a 

 year ago, although the prices that are 

 being offered the fanners arb at a great 

 advance from last year's prices. Of 

 course, weather conditions have inter- 

 fered materially with the placing of con-
