 L. H. Vaughan. Chicago: Sec'y and Treas.. C. E. 

 Eendel, Cleveland, O. Twenty-ninth annual 

 meeting, June 20 to 22. 1911. 



Orlo Nichols has opened a seed store 

 at Balfour, N. D. 



Frank Grifpel, with the Salzer Seed 

 Co., La Crosse, Wis., and Miss Caroline 

 Johnson were married March 13. 



Seedsmen consider that they are har- 

 assed by legislation — but they can thank 

 their lucky stars that they are not in 

 the nursery business. 



Thomas Thyne, the oldest seedsman at 

 Dundee, Scotland, is dead. He was 75 

 years of age and had been in the seed 

 trade sixty-two years. 



J. W. Jung, of the J. W. Jung Seed 

 Co., Randolph, Wis., says business has 

 been good from the start of the season 

 and he expects to round up a total three 

 times as great as in the season of 1910. 



Was March 20 big Monday this year 

 or will it be March 27 ? Last week there 

 was so much cold weather all over the 

 country that a good many catalogue 

 houses think next Monday likely to bring 

 more mail orders than last Monday 

 brought. 



In consequence of the recent death of 

 two partners in the well known English 

 firm of H. Cannell & Sons, Swanley, K. 

 W. Cannell has been appointed receiver 

 of the business and has taken possession 

 of the assets. It is anticipated that the 

 business will pay all claims in full and 

 leave a substantial surplus for the part- 

 ners. 



The mail order trade is now on the 

 down grade, with counter trade heavy in 

 the warmer sections, but only just begin- 

 ning in most sections. The catalogues 

 have brought no unumial response thus 

 far this year, but favorable weather the 

 next few weeks will do much to improve 

 the record. The seed trade hopes for a 

 long season for garden making. 



CABBAGE IN WASHINaTON. 



Everything is looking fine in the 

 Pacific northwest. Writing under date 

 of March 14, Mr. Leckenby, of the 

 Chas. H. Lilly Co., Seattle, said: "Cab- 

 bage passed through the winter in 

 good shape and I do not look for any 

 setback from now on. The only trouble 

 is that there is a smaller acreage than 

 usual to harvest in 1911." 



CALIFORNIA SEED CEOPS. 



L. W. Wheeler, of the Pieters- 

 Wheeler Seed Co., Hollister, Cal., does 

 not believe that irreparable damage has 

 been done to seed crops by the ex- 

 cessive rains, though all crops must nec- 

 essarily be late. March 15 he said: 



"During the early winter, prior to 

 January 10, we had no rain and found 

 it nearly impossible to make the ground 

 ready for planting. After the rains 

 finally commenced we received consid- 

 erably too much in a short period. In 

 consequence, a large acreage of seed 

 crops is yet unplanted, which should 

 have been in before January 1. We 

 were fortunate enough to complete all 

 the planting on our own ranch before 

 the last heavy rain, which has done

considerable damage, we understand, in 

 some of the other seed growing sections 

 of the state, although we received no 

 injurious effects. Over six and one-half 

 inches of rain fell in forty-eight hours 

 in one of the valleys where seed is 

 grown. We believe all crops will be 

 late and some of the items will prob- 

 ably be short, but unless we have ex- 

 ceptionally late spring rains, which 

 have not obtained for the last few 

 years, we do not look for any great 

 shortage. We think, however, that rad-
