AXERICAN SEED TRADE ASBOOIATIOK.

Thirtieth annual convention, Chicago, June 25 

 to 27, 1912. 



Philadelphia: W. Atlee Burpee has 

 reached home from his California trip, 

 accompanied by Hugh Dickson, of Bel- 

 fast, Ireland. 



The severe cold in some of the im- 

 portant freesia growing localities in Cali- 

 fornia last winter did so much damage 

 that there is a marked shortage of bulbs 

 in that section. 



The following have been appointed by 

 the president as members of the Com- 

 mittee on Seeds for the New York Prod- 

 uce Exchange: Wm. Jacot, chairman; 

 M. H. Duryea, Ernst Wehncke, O. W. F. 

 Randolph, Chas. Wimmer. 



The sessions of the Seed Trade Asso- 

 ciation this week are executive in name 

 only. While the door is closed, the usual 

 report of proceedings is for sale to trade 

 papers at the usual place and members 

 also are privileged, apparently, to give 

 out that which pleases them. 



The Los Angeles County Horticultural 

 Society gave a dinner at the HoUenbeck 

 hotel, Los Angeles, June 19, in honor of 

 W. Atlee Burpee and Hugh Dickson. 

 The affair is fully reported in the Los 

 Angeles news-letter in the Pacific Coast 

 Department of this issue. 



Lifting the bulbs is in progress in 

 Holland, the season being about a week 

 earlier than last year. There appears 

 to be an average good crop, but prices 

 are stiffening. There is a boom in 

 Darwin tulips, their popularity appearing 

 to be increasing in all the countries that 

 look to Holland for bulbs. 



The Great Western Sugar Co., Denver, 

 Colo., has offered a prize of $10,000, to 

 be awarded for the complete solution of 

 a practical sugar beet puller and topper. 

 Those who are familiar with conditions 

 prevailing in the beet sugar industry will 

 realize that the perfection of such a 

 machine will be of untold value in the 

 economical production of sugar beets. 



The Texas Seed & Floral Co., Dallas, 

 Tex., has won a case before the Inter- 

 state Commerce! Commission involving the 

 classification of and rate upon carload 

 shipments of incubators and' brooders 

 from Buffalo to Dallas. The award of 

 the commission gives the seedsmen a re- 

 fund of $305.21, to be paid before July 

 15, and establishes their contention for 

 a rate not in excess of fourth class un- 

 der the Western Classification, with a 

 minimum of 24,000 pounds for a standard 

 36-foot car. 



Reports from several points in Wis- 

 consin where there are pea canning fac- 

 tories say that the pea vines are suffer- 

 ing from a blight which is attacking the 

 roots and doing considerable damage, 

 though not as much as if the weather 

 were hot and dry. The affection of the 

 plant roots, it is stated, would quickly 

 cause them to wilt and thus prevent the 

 pods from maturing but for the fact that 

 the weather continues cool and the at- 

 mosphere moist. Much depends upon 

 the weather during the next two weeks. 

 If it stays as it is at present the pack-
