 Thirty-first annual convention at Cleveland, Jnne 

 24 to 26. 1913. 



Seedsmen in general report an in- 

 creased call for gladioli this season, both 

 from florists and the public. 



Counter trade is beginning to open. 

 In Philadelphia, New York and Boston 

 the business is ahead of last year at this 

 date. 



Thad Smith has purchased an in- 

 terest in the Griffith & Co. Implement & 

 Seed House, at Paola, Kan., and will aid 

 Charles Griffith in the management of 

 the business. 



The Everett Seed Co., of Atlanta, Ga., 

 which added a garden seed department 

 last January, has already found it neces- 

 sary to enlarge its store at 29 West 

 Alabama street, in order to provide room 

 for the development of the new depart- 

 ment. 



The four-story warehouse of the Wal- 

 dron Seed Co., Waterloo, Neb., burned 

 March 18, entailing a loss of $75,000, 

 with insurance about $60,000. None of 

 the other warehouses in the town were 

 in particular danger from this fire, al- 

 though it was quite spectacular. 



A TORNADO passed about three-quar- 

 ters of a mile west of Waterloo, Neb., 

 about five o'clock Easter afternoon, 

 doing considerable damage. The build- 

 ings on a farm belonging to the J. C 

 Robinson Seed Co. were destroyed and 

 slight damage done to two other places' 

 belonging to the company. 



The California seed growers would 

 like some of the rain that has been fall- 

 ing so copiously in other sections in the 

 last week. The Californians could use 

 some ten inches to excellent advantage 

 and without it are not quite sure where 

 they will get oflf. Crops are growing 

 well, but the soil is moist for only about 

 a foot. 



The William A. Davis Seed Co., re- 

 cently incorporated at Bozeman, Mont., 

 will make a specialty of the growing of 

 seed peas and grain. The capital stock 

 is $25,000. William A. Davis is presi- 

 dent and general manager. B. C. 

 Parker, also a seedsman of experience, 

 is vice-president, and E. I. Renstrom is 

 secretary. Both Mr. Davis and Mr, 

 Parker are convinced that conditions in 

 Montana make it a desirable state for 

 growing peas for seeds.

The canners' business is becoming of 

 constantly increasing importance and 

 several of the wholesale seedsmen are 

 devoting a considerable part of their 

 attention to it. A canner frequently 

 buys more seeds in a season than does 

 a fairly prosperous seed store. 



STOPPING THE FBEE SEEDS. 



We note in The Review for March 

 20 the reference to "Those Free 

 Seeds," which to a certain extent crit- 

 icises the seedsmen for quoting ordinary 

 varieties of seed, etc., to the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture for the free seed 

 distribution, nnd we think the reason 

 the seedsmen quote the government is 

 amply covered by the old saying, "If 

 we don 't get it some one else will ; " 

 and naturally they all want a finger in 

 the pie.
