Thirtieth annual convention, Cblcaflro, June 26 to 

 S7, 1012. 



Fire did $10,000 damage, April 25, 

 to the buildingL-occupied by the Iieifer 

 Seed Co., at Little Bock, Ark. 



J. Fbank Cobby, vine seed grower at 

 Enid, Okla., now does business as the 

 Oklahoma Seed Growers' Co. 



The government seeds were put up 

 this year at $1.09% per thousand pack- 

 ets, by the Robert Gair Co., Brooklyn. 



The trouble now is to wait on the cus- 

 tomers that line the counters three deep. 

 The mail orders are pretty well caught 

 up with. 



The call for gladioli and some other 

 spring bulbs does not appear to come 

 quite up to the sanguine expectations of 

 some of the houses. Inducements are 

 being made to clear. 



The newer mail order seed houses in 

 the middle west, which get most of their 

 business from west of the Mississippi, 

 have done a remarkable business this sea- 

 son, and it is holding up extremely well. 



In its new location on the direct thor- 

 oughfare to two great railroad stations 

 the W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, has 

 had a tremendous increase in its counter 

 sales. The problem is to handle the 

 trade. 



The onion sets at Louisville have gone 

 into the ground about as usual. Chilli- 

 cothe is a little behind and at Chicago 

 planting is considerably delayed, with 

 the prospect of some reduction in 

 acreage. 



The firm of Julius Loewith, 99 Nassau 

 street. New York city, representative of 

 prominent European seed houses, is 

 known, since May 1, as Loewith, Larsen 

 & Co., with new headquarters at 150 Nas- 

 sau street, New York. 



The United States Department of 

 Agriculture recently has issued a bulle- 

 tin. No. 488, entitled, "Diseases of Cab- 

 bage and Related Crops, and Their Con- 

 trol," by L. L. Harter, which will be 

 of interest to seedsmen. 



Wholesale seedsmen are having their 

 troubles with reorders. Though there are 

 seeds for sale, so many items were short 

 at the beginning of the season that now 

 it is not only impossible to supply the 

 items most called for but difficult to fur- 

 nish "something just as good." 



Once more come pessimistic reports 

 from the pea districts: Season late, soil 

 too wet to get on it, planting not possi- 

 ble until after the usual date, midsum- 

 mer heat will catch the vines at the most 

 critical stage. To hear them tell it, one 

 would think the pea is about to drop out 

 of cultivation. 



TBANSPABENT ENVELOPES. 



The subject of transparent envelopes 

 for seeds has again been brought to the 

 front by order No. 6258, recently issued 

 by the Postmaster General, amending 

 the Postal Laws and Regulations. The 

 attention of all postmasters is called
