New Interstate Seed Bill. 



Our attention has been called by 

 Curtis Nye Smith, counsel for the 

 American Seed Trade Association to 

 the fact that Mr. Cullop of Indiana 

 has recently filed in the House of 

 Representatives of the United States 

 a bill (H. R. 18630) to make it un- 

 lawful to ship in commerce between 

 the States any grain or seed which 

 is falsely labeled or branded, or false- 

 ly represented, fixing a penalty for 

 the violation of a fine of not less than 

 five hundred dollars or by imprison- 

 ment of not more than one year, or 

 by both such fine or imprisonment. 



Notes. 



The Holland bulbs which are arriv- 

 ing in this country are of exception- 

 ally fine quality this year. Hyacinths, 

 tulips and narcissus have never been 

 better. 



Sluis & Groot, Enkhuizen, Holland. 

 express confidence of their ability to 

 fill all flower and vegetable seed or- 

 ders. They state that there has been 

 much sunshine and dry w^eather of 

 late so that they expect to harvest 

 seeds of first quality. 



We understand that certain German 

 seed growers are advising their cus- 

 tomers that they expect to be able to 

 ship flower and vegetable seeds 

 through Holland without any serious 

 interruption of the usual trade rela- 

 tions with customers in this country.
