Mr. Howell: There are a good many kinds that several 

 are interested in that you don't quote, and probably the ma- 

 jority have bought. 



Mr. Work: What sorts do you want? 



Members: Gradus, Alderman, Shropshire, Hero, Thomas 

 Laxton, Pot Latch, Telephone. 



Mr. Hay: I would like to try a small dwarf variety on 

 the muck. 



Mr. Greffrath : Premium Gem is the smallest. 

 Mr. Work : - American Wonder is very small. 

 Mr. Howell: Nott's Excelsior would do finely on muck. 

 It gave as nice a crop of peas as I ever saw. 



Potatoes. 



Mr. Work : We have a few potatoes, Irish Cobblers. The 

 stock is said to be clean and all right, but small. Prices are 

 $1.05 a bushel for large and 80 cents second size, f. o. b. cen- 

 tral New York shipping point. Do you wish to order? 



(Twenty-two bushels were ordered). 



Mr. Work : This is our chance to find out what you want, 

 so we can help you. Fordhook limas are asked for. Are 

 there others who are interested for 1915? How many are in- 

 terested in Early Jersey Wakefield cabbage? Five. If we 

 tackled that Early Jersey Wakefield, we would follow up 

 some of these Penn State results. We would go right to 

 them for the information. We would then go to the sources 

 of that seed, and we would do all we could to get a special 

 rate on that seed for our members. 



How about beets? The Canadian organizations have de- 

 veloped this seed business quite a good piece. The Ontario 

 Vegetable Growers' Association now has a purchasing agent. 

 They buy a good many seeds from Germany, and they get very 

 reasonable prices. There is one firm they buy from, and they 

 say they have very good satisfaction. We wrote to find if 

 they would care to do business with us. So we may be able 

 to offer you some kinds of seed from over there. The prices 

 are very low, at the same time the seed has given satisfaction 

 in Canada.
