Thirtieth annual convention, Chicago, June 25 

 to 27. 1912. 



The death of Jerome B. Rice, which 

 occurred June 8, is reported in this 

 week's obituary column. See page 16. 



Visited Chicago : Marshall H. Duryea, 

 vice-president and treasurer of the Nun- 

 gesser-Dickinson Seed Co., successor to 

 Henry Nungesser & Co., New York. 



F. A. Forbes, Plymouth, Ind., says the 

 season has been a record breaker for him, 

 on garden seeds, corn, field seeds and 

 seed potatoes, but also on vegetable 

 plants. 



It looks now as though the Republican 

 national convention at Chicago may 

 hold over into the week set for the Seed 

 Trade convention, in which event almost 

 anything is likely to happen. 



A. Kruhm, formerly in charge of the 

 catalogues and advertising of the Liv- 

 ingston Seed Co., now is with the Mumm- 

 Romer Co., Columbus, an advertising 

 agency, in charge . ©f its horticultural 

 department. 



.T. W. Ratekin, Shenandoah, la., plans 

 to be in California during the week of 

 the Seed Trade convention. He has just 

 bought another farm near Shenandoah, 

 the second purchased this spring, paying 

 $300 per acre. 



The Farmers' Commercial Grain & 

 Seed Co. has been incorporated at Rising 

 Sun, O., with a capital of $15,000, by 

 S. S. Shaw, William Myers, R. S. Ohler, 

 C. G. Myers, John C. Bower, A. J. Day, 

 W. H. Mann and M. B. Bowe. 



W. Atlee Burpee, of Philadelphia, 

 and Hugh Dickson, of Belfast, Ireland, 

 are visiting the California seed growing 

 districts. June 1 they motored from San 

 Francisco to Santa Cruz with Lester L. 

 Morse, of C. C. Morse & Co., in the lat- 

 ter 's car. 



Condon Bros., the seedsmen at Rock- 

 ford, 111., are building a brick warehouse 

 at 634 to 636 Cedar street, near the C. & 

 N. W. tracks. The structure will cover 

 a space 40x85 feet and will consist of 

 three stories and a basement. The firm 

 has a retail store at 413 West State 

 street, where the business was founded 

 about a year ago. 



The prospect is that the approaching 

 convention of the American Seed Trade 

 Association will be one of the most 

 largely attended in the history of the 

 organization. While no vital problems 

 are pressing upon the trade, there is 

 Chioago's recognized standing as a sum- 

 mer resort and its central location to at- 

 tract many who have not been present 

 at meetings in the east. 



It was a little over a year ago that 

 The Review pointed out that the dis- 

 claimer must be moved just below the 

 date line on letter-heads to be of effect 

 under long overlooked court decisions. 

 The Seed Trade Association, at its last 

 convention, appointed a committee to look 

 up the eases cited in this column. Today 

 practically all stationery carries the non- 

 warranty clause where it is an integral 

 part of the correspondence.

David Nicol, the seedsman of Liver- 

 more, Cal., is spending the summer at La 

 Fayette, Cal. 



The canners are feeling badly about 

 the pea pack. From all sections come 

 reports of a late season and the prospect 

 of a light yield. 



Reports from Holland are to the effect 

 that the prospect is for a good crop of 

 bulbs, except in a few instances vrhere 

 damage was caused by hail. The Hol- 

 landers are figuring on better prices for 

 bulbs. It is stated the prices for daffo- 

 dils after harvest surely will be higher 

 than last year. Hyacinths, too, are ex- 

 pected to advance. They have what they 

 call the green auctions over there, at 

 which this year's prices on hyacinths 

 were better than last year. On tulips 

 the prices varied considerably, but the 

 leading trade varieties all sold as high as 

 last year, if not higher, except La Reine 

 and Murillo. The Darwin and Cottage
