AHEBICAN SEED TBADB ASSOCIATION. 



Pres.. Watson S. Woodrufl, Orange, Conn.; 

 First Vice-pres., J. C. Robinson, Waterloo, Neb.; 

 Seciy and Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland. 

 Twenty-seventh annual convention, Niagara 

 Falls. Ont., June 22 to 24, 1909. 



Henry Field, Shenandoah, la., is on 

 an eastern trip. 



Peas are in strong demand Muth the 

 retail seedsmen, and wholesalers feel the 

 call. 



Counter trade is now trying to catch 

 up. It is reported to be doing well, but 

 is still a few laps behind. 



It is reported that Leonard • Condon 

 and John Condon, for some years em- 

 ployed by H. W. Buckbee at Eockford, 

 111., will leave Mr. Buckbee June 1, with 

 the intention of starting in the seed busi- 

 ness at Eockford for themselves. 



The Lima varieties of beans, both pole 

 and dwarf, are now being planted for 

 the 1909 crop in the California districts. 

 Cucumber seed is also being planted. Ee- 

 ports are that conditions are favorable 

 for the seeding of both the cucumbers 

 and beans. 



It is reported from Hollister, Cal., 

 that the A. J. Pieters Seed Co. has 

 brought suit, through its attorney, G. W. 

 Jean, against the Braalan Seed Growers' 

 Co. for the sum of $3,353.12, alleged to 

 be a balance due for goods delivered and 

 sold to defendant. 



The contract grower for whom O. S. 

 Jones & Co. have put out more than 

 3,000 acres of peas in Lake and Minne- 

 haha counties of South Dakota, as was 

 first reported in the Eeview April 29, 

 is said to be the Jerome B. Eice Seed 

 Co., Cambridge, N. Y. 



The bean growers report it still hard 

 to get farmers interested in the garden 

 varieties of beans. The field bean is 

 bringing good prices and many of those 

 who have grown the garden varieties in 

 the past few years seem willing to go 

 back and give the field bean a trial. 



It is reported from Louisville, Ky., 

 that the onion set plantations are look- 

 ing well and doing well. The seeding 

 of the whites that was reported to be 

 doing poorly a week or two ago is com- 

 ing along better and it looks as though 

 an average stand of whites will result. 

 The acreage is not more than last year 

 and the outlook for a crop is about as 

 good as at this time last year. 



Some of the up-north farmers have 

 sown their contract peas and are looking 

 for a good crop; others are busy getting 

 their ground ready. The fact that the 

 season is unusually late does not seem to 

 bother the pea growing farmer. Most 

 of them consider that a late spring in- 

 sures a good crop year. If this is so, 

 the pea growers should be satisfied, as 

 all of them seem anxious to see a good 

 crop.

Walter P. Stokes, Philadelphia, de- 

 livered an illustrated lecture, "How 

 Seeds Are Grown and How They Are 

 Sold," before the employees of the Mc- 

 Farland Organization at Harrisburg, Pa., 

 May 11. 



It has been an exceptionally cold, late 

 spring in central Europe, at the Qued- 

 linburg, Erfurt and Darmstadt seed 

 centers in Germany, in the bulb district 

 in HoUand, and south into some of the 

 seed growing sections of France. 



The state of Indiana is the largest 

 producer of clover seed in this country. 

 Recent reports, summarized, indicate 

 that the crop will be short, but consider- 

 able will be carried over. Some has been 

 plowed up and put to corn and oats. 



Lem W. Bowen stated under oath in 

 1903 that the dealings of D. M. Ferry & 

 Co. with Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co., Paris, 

 generally amounted to $75,000 to $100,- 

 000 annually. "And of course," he 

 added, "Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co. is 

 only one; we deal with six or seven dif- 

 ferent people in Europe, but our nego- 

 tiations with these people are larger than 

 all the rest."
