AHEBICAN SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION. 



rres., E. L. Page, Greene, N. Y.; First Vlce- 

 Pres., v. H. Vaugban, Chicago; Sec'y and 

 Treas., C. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. Twenty- 

 ninth annual meeting, Marblehead, Mass., June 

 20 to 22. 1911. 



A SEED store has been opened in the 

 Merritt block, on Greenwich avenue, 

 Stamford, Conn., by J. B. McArdle. 



The telegraph brings report of a se- 

 vere cold wave in the Santa CJara valley 

 of California the latter part of last week. 



Counter trade is increasing rapidly 

 and, with anything like favorable 

 weather conditions, promises to break all 

 records all over the country. 



Mail orders are falling off rapidly; 

 the season can not show an increase for 

 the older catalogue houses as a class, 

 though many of the newer houses have a 

 nice gain. 



Geo. O. Boeton & Co., Bridgeport, 

 Conn., who call theirs "Sunshine 

 Seeds," are so well pleased with the re- 

 sults from 4heir first annual catalogue, 

 issued this year, that they plan a larger 

 one for next season. 



Cestainly, seeds were short this sea- 

 son, but events have borne out the vener- 

 able seedsman who remarked that now- 

 adays the sources of seed supply are so 

 numerous aud the demand for seeds is so 

 broad that some way or other they fit 

 together pretty well. 



The Crop Improvement Committee of 

 the Council of North American Grain 

 Exchanges is sending out a post-card that 

 says on one side in big white letters on 

 a black ground : * ' Test Your Seed 

 Corn. ' ' On the other side it says : ' * We 

 are informed that the seed corn is ex- 

 tremely poor this season. Every grain 

 which fails to grow cuts your crop down 

 at least twenty-five per cent to the hill." 



N. N. Sherwood, of Hurst & Son, has 

 been reelected president of the Nursery 

 and Seed Trade Association, Ltd., Lon- 

 don, England. The report and balance 

 sheet submitted to the meeting showed 

 the association to be in a good financial 

 position, with a substantial balance at 

 the bank, that during the last year, 1,021 

 status inquiries had been answered, and 

 £6,060 15s 6d had been recovered for 

 the members. Questions of legislation 

 affecting the trade were discussed, and a 

 sub-committee was appointed to deal with 

 the shops bill, and the proposed seed bill. 



LUPINE SEED DUTY FREE. 



J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York, 

 have been sustained in a claim that 

 lupine seed is to be admitted to this 

 country duty free. The collector of 

 customs assessed duty at 10 cents per 

 pound. The protest of Thorburn & Co. 

 was heard by Board No. 3 of the Gen- 

 eral Appraisers, for whom Judge Waite 

 wrote the opinion, saying:

 County, N, J., on Oct. 27, 1910, writes as follows: "I want to state that your three grades of poultry 

 food— Chick Starter, Developing Food and 'Square Deal' Scratch or Poultry Food— stand without an 

 equal today. They are perfect mixtures and sound in grain and a pleasure to handle."
