THE ASSOCIATION SEED SERVICE 



Mr. Hallauer: Ours kept very well. 



Mr. Greffrath : It might be I did not have a true strain. 

 It looked fine in the fall, but open it and there would be little 

 brown spots around the bottom about three inches up the 

 stalk, and it was very bitter. There might have been some 

 disease which attacked it in that particular locality. 



Mr. Howell: Was it wet in the trenches? 



Mr. Greffrath : It was very wet. 

 Mr. Howell: I have laid the trouble to that. 

 Mr. Greffrath : With the other kinds it was all right. 

 Mr. Work: French Success is recommended. Is any 

 other celery wanted? 



Question: How will this stand trenching for the winter? 

 Mr. Hallauer: Very well. 



Mr. Jennings (Madison County) : We grow Kalamazoo 

 Broad Rib. 



Mr. Work: Do you like it? Have you a good source of 

 seed ? 



Mr. Jennings : We think so. I sometimes think it might 

 be better. 



Is the Seed Service Worth While? 



Mr. Work: Mr. Greffrath has stated the Seed Service 

 situation pretty clearly. We have been making an effort 

 ever since the organization of the Association to establish 

 this Seed Service. We have gone rather slowly, because 

 some of us did not know much about it, and we wanted to 

 make a go of it if we could. To date we have not been abla 

 to line up a very big list of seeds that we wanted to recom- 

 mend. We think we have found out enough about it so that, 

 if we have adequate support, we can go right ahead with it, 

 to some extent for this year, and certainly for next year we 

 ought to be able to handle a good list of seed. Are you really 

 interested? Do you want this Seed Service developed, and 

 if we can offer good seeds do you care to patronize the Ser- 

 vice? I would like to hear from you on that. Do you think 

 there are possibilities in the Association work?
