AMERICAN SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION. 



Pres., E. L. Page, Greene, N. Y.; First Vioe- 

 Pres., L. H. Vaughan, Chicago; Sec'y and 

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

 ninth annual meeting, Marblehead, Mass., June 

 20 to 22, 1911. 



Arnold Kingier, of the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., Chicago, is on the Pacific coast. 



Free seeds for Canada are one step 

 nearer. The lower house of Congress has 

 passed tlie reciprocity measure. 



The weather has been too cool and 

 wet for heavy counter trade, but last 

 week the rush began in good earnest. 



Wm. Rehm, formerly a retail florist at 

 Xcnv Orleans, is now American traveler 

 ior L. Dachnfeldt, seed grower at Odense, 

 Doniiiark. 



This will go on record as one of the 

 most peculiar seasons the seed trade has 

 had; calculations have been upset time 

 after time. 



Reports from Lansing, Mich., record 

 the filing there of incorporation papers 

 for the Leonard Seed Co., Chicago, 111., 

 and Portland, Mich.; capital stock, 

 $150,000. 



Carlos Jensen, manager of the ex- 

 port department for L. Daehnfeldt, 

 Odense, Denmark, was at Salt Lake City 

 April 22 on his way to Portlajid and 

 other points on the Pacific coast. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 has just issued Farmers' Bulletin jSo. 

 433, "Cabbage," by L. C. Corbett, Ihat 

 contains a strong recommendation for 

 the use of the best seed that can be 

 bought. 



The wholesale seedsmen are having 

 their own troubles with the fill-in orders 

 that are coming in, usually marked 

 ' ' Bush. ' ' A good many items are on 

 the sold out lists of wholesalers as well 

 as retailers. 



In the Holland bulb districts March 

 was an exceptionally cool month, so that 

 the forward season was set back and al- 

 most normal conditions introduced. The 

 hyacinths were out for Easter, but only 

 some of the early tulips. The end of 

 April finds the bulb fields just coming 

 into their glory. 



There was a targely attended hearing 

 at Albany, April 19, on the Gregg pure 

 seed bill. No. 834, published in full in 

 The Review for April 13. The trade 

 throughout the state was well represented. 

 A united protest was filed against the 

 bill, backed by specific objection to the 

 several inimical features, and the matter 

 now is in the hands of the Committee on 

 Agriculture.
