The Weekly Florists' Review. 



447 



Seed Trade News. 



Bulletin No. 21 of the Bureau of 

 Plant Industry, U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture, Washington, I). C, is de- 

 voted to a "List of American \arieties 

 of vegetables for the j'ears 1901 and 

 1902," prepared by W. W. Tracy, Jr., 

 and is a document that should be in the 

 hands of every seedsman. The name of 

 every variety catalogued during the 

 years noted is given, together with all 

 similar names and sjaionynis. and by a 

 system of abbreviations each seedsman 

 using the name is indicated. The vol- 

 ume contains over 400 large pages and 

 the work has evidently been done in a 

 very painstaking and thorough manner. 



By a decision of the U. S. General 

 Appraisers at New York, Jan. 29, dill 

 and parsley seeds are each found to be 

 "seeds aromatic," and to be used chiefly 

 as drugs, and are therefore free of duty 

 under paragraph .548, tariff act of 1897, 

 specially enumerating "seeds aromatic, 

 * * * which are drugs and not edi- 

 ble," etc., and are not dutiable under 

 paragraph 254 of said act, as "seeds of 

 all kinds." 



The prevailing liioh prices on nearly 

 all seeds will effectually prevent many 

 country merchants from handling the 

 usual quantity, which will force plant- 

 ers to buy from the seed store direct. 

 This fact alone will greatly benefit the 

 catalogue houses and a season of highly 

 satisfactory business seems to be as- 

 sured to all. 



Pueblo. Colo. — The Pierce Seed & 

 Produce Co. report that alfalfa seed is 

 now practically all out of first hands 

 and price is advancing. The Arkansas 

 valley in Colorado will have furnished 

 60 to 70 carloads this season. 



Cleveland, O. — A meeting of local 

 market garden^s was held Feb. 7 to 

 organize a Market Gardeners' and Pro- 

 ducers' Association. G. A. Tilton was 

 chairman of the committee on organiza- 

 tion. 



Judging from the much greater ex- 

 pense to which many seedsmen have 

 gone with their 1903 catalogues, prices 

 must be well maintained in order to 

 cover this extra outlay. 



The executive committee of the Amer- 

 ican Seed Trade Association met in 

 Washington Jan. 13 and arranged a pro- 

 gram for the annual convention to be 

 held in Philadelphia June 23 to 25. 



Peoeia III. — J. C. Murray has opened 

 a seed store at 321 South Adams street, 

 with Mr. John Michie as manager. He 

 expects to make this the finest seed store 

 in the city. 



Japanese millet is another variety of 

 seed that is short this season. This va- 

 riety of millet is largely used in the east 

 and there is not enough seed to supply 

 the demand.

Denver, Colo. — Tlie Lee Pioneer Seed 

 Co. has been incorporated with a capital 

 stock of $10,000. H. M. Lee, M. S. Reed 

 and J. A. Graham are the incorporators. 



The demand for nearly all varieties 

 of wax beans is good and the trouble is 

 to find any dealer who has a surplus.
