 Detroit, June 19, 1917. 



Washington, D. C. — The seed stores 

 are doing a land office business inci- 

 dent to tlie campaign fostered by the 

 Department of Agriculture, the news- 

 papers and civic associations for the 

 planting of back yards and vacant 

 lots to reduce the high cost of living. 

 In some instances the business has 

 doubled itself over the same period of 

 last year and at all stores the ama- 

 teur trade has more than doubled. 

 F. W. Bolgiano, Russell G. Balderson, 

 P. Mann and M. Frank Ruppert are 

 each quoted as of the opinion that the 

 garden seed business is better than 

 at any time in the history of the 

 trade.
