San Francisco, Cal. — C. C. Morse & 

 Co. have started a seed farm at Mt. 

 Eden, near Haywards, and are plant- 

 ing it largely to onions, radishes and 

 sweet peas, principally in the latter. 



Killarney, Man. — The fifth annual 

 seed fair and poultry show, held on 

 Jan. 27, brought out a good show and 

 a large attendance of farmers. Out 

 of .'i7 entries only four were rejected 

 on account of noxious seed admix-

Bound Brook, N. J. — A. C. Zvolanek, 



the sw^eet pea specialist, has just re- 

 turned from the Pacific coast and Old

 growing on a large scale, having al-

 58 acres alone in his special strain of 

 winter flowering varieties. He will 

 also grow mignonette, asters, cosmos

 trade. 



Toledo grain and seed interests will 

 fight to the last ditch the two bills 

 recently introduced in the Ohio legis- 

 lature to place a penalty on the mar- 

 keting of seeds containing impurities 

 or foreign matter. Such a measure 

 was introduced in the previous legis- 

 lature, but after it had reached a 

 point where it was near to becoming 

 a law Toledo and other seed dealers 

 convinced the lawmakers that the leg- 

 islation was impracticable. 



Richmond, Va. — A bill has been in- 

 troduced in the Virginia House pro- 

 viding for the examination of seeds 

 sold in the state by experts of the 

 State Department of Agriculture. Any 

 consumer or any dealer may send 

 samples for inspection. All packages 

 which do not conform to a certain 

 standard are to be marked as to the 

 amount and nature of impurities, and 

 for packages improperly marked a fine 

 Is provided. This bill is indorsed by 

 the State Board of Agriculture.
