THE ASSOCIATION SEED SERVICE 



139 



Mr. Coleman: A great deal is grown in our section. 



Mr. Work: That is not as early. How many would be 

 interested in Evergreen sweet corn for 1915? Only two. 

 How many are interested in a first early sweet corn? Six 

 or eight. What about cucumbers? Eight or ten are in- 

 terested. How many want White Spine? What others do 

 you want? 



A Member: Davis Perfect. 



Mr. Work: How many would want them of the pickler 

 type? One interested. We have done some business here 

 this afternoon. It looks as if we cannot do business by mail. 

 If the Seed Service does not progress better than it has, we 

 may not want to do much more with it. 



Mr. Spiess (Orange County) : Peter Henderson has two 

 strains of Romaine lettuce. 



Mr. Work: How many are interested? Two or three. 



Mr. Hovn^ell: Southport Globe onions. 



Mr. Work: That is $1.57 for this year. How many 

 would like to hear quotations on Southport? A good many. 



Mr. Greffrath : I do not believe you can get any grower 

 to select out of this year's crop. Some of the growers are 

 holding back their quotations for next spring's delivery. 



Mr. Greffrath: Seed that will test 90% or better this 

 year will test 70, 75, or 80 next spring, but it depends upon 

 how it is kept. I believe that with the option that I have 

 on some seed, I will purchase my seed this fall for 1915 sow- 

 ing, especially if onions keep going the way they do. I be- 

 lieve there are some men here who prefer to carry onion seed 

 over a year. That is not my experience. The seed which 1 

 sowed five pounds to the acre this year I would have to sow 

 six pounds next year. 



Hothouse Cucumbers. 



A Member: Why does Mr. West ask $5.00 an ounce for 

 his cucumber seed? I can buy it for $1.10 a pound in Syra- 

 cuse from Mr. Bauder, a representative of the Monroe Countv 

 Market Gardeners' Association.
